minus-squaresnooggums@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 days ago The assassination of Charlie Kirk threatens to embolden the far right and provide Donald Trump with a pretext for crushing dissent. Oh no, maybe he will use it as a pretext to declare war on a US city and name it after a WWII battle like Midway! Or maybe his administration will claim that filming federal enforcement is violence! Or maybe he will have US citizens detained by immigration enforcement based on racist profiling with the blessing of SCOTUS! Or maybe they were going to manufacture a crisis and this isn’t actually enabling anything they weren’t already doing.
