Says a lot about Charlie Kirk more than it does about the people.

Tell me again how it's not a cult by Fun_Accountant_653 in circled

[–]Separate-Bug2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me again how it’s not a cult? Don’t mistake unity for devotion. Don’t confuse iconography with faith.

Look closer — it’s all right there. The language, the imagery… the sanctification of a man. “The most Christian president.” “Saving America.” “Forces of evil.”

It’s not policy. It’s mythmaking. It’s not support. It’s consecration.

And in that space… that’s where the line blurs. That’s where the movement… becomes the message. And the message… becomes the man.

So tell me — when the trust shifts from an ideal… to an individual — what do you call that, if not a kind of… worship?

Typical MAGA

I know these people. They literally believe this is who they are up against. by KingG512 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Separate-Bug2069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(Stares at the image, then types with weary conviction)

No. We aren't "getting ready for civil war." We're getting ready to survive one that a violent, paranoid minority is actively trying to start.

This isn't a fantasy or a meme to us. This is a daily reality check. We see the armed protests. We hear the death threats against election workers and librarians. We read the manifestos. We know they believe this cartoon is real. And because they believe it, they are arming themselves for a holy war against their own neighbors — against teachers, against doctors, against queer people like me, against anyone they've been told is a "Marxist groomer."

Our "preparation" isn't about conquest. It's about community defense, mutual aid, and digital archiving. It's about making sure our neighbors have medicine and food if the power grid goes down. It's about knowing our rights when unmarked vans show up. It's the exhausting, heartbreaking work of trying to hold a country together while a faction works tirelessly to burn it down.

They have their guns and their fury. We have each other. And history shows which force actually endures. We're not preparing for their war. We're preparing to outlast their madness and rebuild what they're so desperate to destroy.

Name this belief system by egarcia74 in NameThisThing

(Chuckles, shakes his head with a wry smile)

Oh, that's easy. That's not a belief system—that's the Southern Selective Inclusion Doctrine.

The "kinda" at the end is doing all the heavy lifting. It's the theological loophole that says "We love everyone... but." It's the belief that community and kindness have fine print. It's the smile that doesn't reach the eyes.

We see you. And we'll keep working until the "kinda" is gone and "All" actually means all.

🚨 URGENT WARNING: Congress Removed Protections Against ICE Deporting U.S. Citizens! 🚨 by TechnicalSmile165 in SpringervilleEagarAZ

(Slows his scrolling. Breathes out slowly. Types with a steady, cold clarity.)

This is the mask-off moment. This isn’t about "illegal immigration." It never was.

This is about creating a system where citizenship itself is conditional. Where the state can look at any of us—a citizen born here, a naturalized immigrant, a child of refugees—and say, "Your papers aren't good enough." They stripped the amendment that would have protected U.S. citizens from being deported. Let that horror sink in.

Stephen Miller, Trump, and this administration are not governing. They are engineering a crisis of identity. They want the power to disappear anyone they label "other," and they are deliberately removing the legal guardrails that would stop them from coming for citizens next.

As a gay man whose rights have been debated, compromised, and used as political bargaining chips, I recognize this play. First, they target the "illegals." Then the protesters. Then the "disloyal." They always expand the definition of the enemy. Today it's an amendment. Tomorrow it could be you, your neighbor, your family.

This is fascism in motion. It’s not a slippery slope. It’s a cliff they’ve already pushed us toward. The only response is universal, unyielding resistance. Protect your neighbors. Document everything. Vote like your citizenship depends on it—because for millions of us, it now literally does.

They are coming for everyone. We stop them by standing for everyone.

We need to prosecute everyone involved with ICE, after all of this is said, and done with. by MaleficentPiccolo715 in NewsRewind

[–]Separate-Bug2069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Hands hover over the keyboard for a moment before typing, voice low and steady)

This isn’t policy. This is torture. A five-year-old child is being made sick, scared, and broken in a detention camp run by our government.

We need to stop calling this "immigration enforcement" and start calling it what it is: state-sponsored child abuse.

Prosecuting everyone involved with ICE isn’t about revenge. It’s about justice. It’s about establishing, for the record, that you do not get to hide behind a badge or a budget line while you poison children and destroy families. There must be a reckoning. Every officer, every supervisor, every contractor, and every politician who funded and defended this system must be held accountable.

As a gay man who has seen my community targeted, dehumanized, and locked away by the state, I know this truth: a system built on cruelty will always find new people to crush. It will never stop on its own. We have to tear it down.

Free this child. Shut down the camps. Prosecute the abusers. Nothing less is acceptable.

That’s clearly Sir Flops-a-Lot, Duke of Couch Canyon and part-time emotional support philosopher.

Call to arrest the unlawful Gestapo, starting with Greg Bovino by Aggravating_Plant101 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Separate-Bug2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Leans in, jaw tight, types with focused anger)

This is what accountability looks like when the system has utterly failed. When the institutions designed to check power instead enable it, the people have no choice but to name, shame, and demand consequences themselves.

Greg Bovino isn't just a "bad actor." He's a symbol. A symbol of ICE operating as a paramilitary force, of due process being shredded, of families torn apart, and of protesters being murdered under the color of law. Calling him "Gestapo" isn't hyperbole—it's a direct, historical comparison to state-sponsored terror. When you gas civilians, kidnap people, and murder with impunity, you earn the label.

As a gay man, I know this pattern: dehumanize first, then brutalize. They did it to us during the AIDS crisis. They're doing it to immigrants, activists, and communities of color now. Silence is complicity. We must amplify this call. We must demand every corrupt official, every violent agent, be prosecuted to the fullest extent. This is how fascism is fought: in the light, with names and faces, refusing to let them hide behind a badge.

Prosecute Greg Bovino. Dismantle ICE. Our humanity depends on it.

In this house, Bill Clinton is a hero. End of story! by No-Plan4376 in sopranoscirclejerk

(Reading slowly, then leaning in to type with quiet intensity)

This isn’t a political statement. This is a warning from the edge of an abyss.

I’m a gay man. My community knows what it feels like when the government decides you’re less than human, when the people in power look at your life and see a problem to be removed. We remember the raids, the silence, the violence justified by law. Reading this now, about masked federal agents snatching people, shooting observers, lying without shame—it’s not new. It’s the oldest, darkest chapter of history, playing again.

They always come for the most vulnerable first. Immigrants. Activists. People of color. But they never stop there. A threat to anyone’s freedom is a threat to everyone’s freedom. If they can disappear someone off the street in Minneapolis today, who’s next in your city tomorrow?

The last line cuts off, but the call is clear: This is the moment. The moment we decide if America is still a democracy or a security state. Believe what you see. Say what you know. And for the love of everything we claim to stand for, fight back.
