Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

What the ever loving fuck..?
"Mohn was arrested near a National Guard training center in Fort Indiantown Gap at around 10:00 PM, approximately an hour before a 911 call was made about 100 miles away by a woman who told operators that she found her husband’s head in their home. Police had been called to the residence earlier, around 7:00 PM when they found Mohn’s headless body after being alerted to the existence of the video."
Wait so the police show up at 7 PM and find the body. Then leave and come back when the wife found the head. Jesus that is fucked.

...Mohn spouts...
The federal government of America has declared war on America’s citizens and the American states. America is rotting from the inside out as far-left woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones.
[A] fifth column army of illegal immigrants infiltrates our border, and if the traitorous Biden regime is successful in sending America’s military overseas to fight for Ukraine and die in a Russian winter just like every other military who has ever fought Russia in the winter, then America will be less protected when the fifth column of illegal immigrants strikes Americans on our own soil. …
If you are a federal employee and are listening to this message, now is your last chance to resign from the side of the traitors and join your countrymen in taking back your country. … I urge the U.S. Postal Service to suspend their services at this time, split from the federal government, and join your countrymen, or else I cannot offer federal postal workers any protection. If the media begins to spread lies about this revolution and its patriots. Then I authorize the targeting of news stations and their owners and employees as well. The hunting, capturing, and killing of America’s federal employees will not stop until Americans’ demands are met.
Any one left of Reagan in 2024:
Someone with Reagan's exact politics in this day and age would be considered a left-wing woke monster by most of the modern right.
Dude did a lot of tax hikes and was against having capital gains taxes be separate from income taxes.
He did try to genocide the gays though and modern conservatives do like to genocide the gays.

Bro what the fuck
I know right?!?!
But Antifa is the real danger, right?
To the fascist movement? Yes.
my most favorite game when i find a conservative is to ask them point blank:
are you a fascist or are you an anti-fascist? you only get to pick one.
and they squiiiiiiirm
I would answer anti-fascist, but if someone asked me "Are you communist or anti-communist? Pick one" I would answer "neither"

That's disturbing. That quoted bit of dialogue definitely has some grandiose language. Seems like yet another case where extremist right wing media fed into psychosis leading to a tragic outcome.
Imagine what hes going to realize/think/feel when he gets medicated.
"He's going to get medicated, right?" -Padme
I think he will hold onto this fractured reality because letting go of it will be too painful.

Yeah definitely a mix of mental health and too much propaganda. In the quoted portions he is clearly delusional. He tells all postal workers that if they don't quit and join their countrymen he can't promise protection for them. He may have done something like this anyway but clearly the anti Biden message has resonated with him.
Are we calling conservatism a psychosis now? Ok, I can see that.
I think it's more that this nut job latched onto conservatism as his thing. If it wasn't that it would have been something else.
That being said, if conservatism wasn't preventing adequate mental healthcare maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Another "lone wolf" that has nothing at all to do with the bog standard violent demagoguery of every single right wing talking head grifter I'm sure
What are you saying? This has nothing to do with the current republican party or their talking points!
Mohn also calls for the end of “all woke and gender ideology propaganda in schools and other public places
I'm sure it's a coincidence...
Mohn spouts several far-right talking points, including:
"America is rotting from the inside out as far-left woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones."
" A fifth column army of illegal immigrants infiltrates our border"
Oh...

It's ironic that if you proclaim to be communist or anarchist, they'll basically blacklist you, yet one of our political parties is also the largest organized hate group in the nation, and we just accept that as normal.
This dude LITERALLY pulled an ISIS beheading his father while basically giving the same talking points AS FUCKING ISIS.
Swatting, bomb threats, planting bombs, death threats, murder, mass shootings, election tampering, sedition, attacking government institutions. Let's call a spade a spade. They're a terrorist organization
And they have the gall to say liberalism is a mental disorder.
Say it with me now, "P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N"
...and even taking that BS at face value, an actual mental disorder is infinitely preferable to sober and calculated malice.
"No -your- brain is broken! I'm just plain ol' evil."

This is not an edited photo. CPAC literally created and wore that banner of their own volition.
