Stephen Miller spent his weekend, as he is wont to do, describing American politics as if the nation were in the advanced stages of civil war and as if he were dictating a message while racing to a mountain hideout to escape bloodthirsty guerillas. “There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded,” he wrote on X. “And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.”

There is a large and growing movement of - look at the news - terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded, Attempted murder of Nancy Pelosi's husband. Democrat lawmaker murdered. Arson and attempted murder of a non-fascist compliant judge. Even some murders and attempted murders of right wingers are from the right wing camp.

Stephen Miller is destined to end up hanging from a rope after he's sentenced to death at a war crimes tribunal. We literally hanged men like him at Nuremberg.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

I think he's more of a eaves of a gas station man myself.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

Rope's expensive. The feeding habits of the hyena, however, are criminally under-researched.

Gadaffi. Impaled with a steel rod

Wasn't he already dead by then?

Yah, he was already shot and beaten dead.

That fascist scum gotta go

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 days ago

Our media is fucking useless. Nobody should be airing or quoting a single word out of this administration’s mouth without sentence-by-sentence fact checking. The fact that this stopped years ago is what lead us to today.

Basically every politically motivated terrorist attack this century came from the right-wing.

People like him promoting right wing ideology are the dangerous enemies of the US population

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 16 points 3 days ago

Plus all the violence is coming from ice and likely out of state national guard soon.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It’s always been right wing terrorism. This is right out of the Nazi germany playbook.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yes they are waiting for their version of the Reichstag Fire to crush opposition. That's what the reaction to Charlie Kirk's killing was.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They’ll make one

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 days ago

This is exactly what they are planning to do. This man needs to be arrested. He is plotting the arrest of judges.

I know a guy who is exactly like Stephen, both in appearance and in being a narcissistic psychopath who enjoys the suffering of others

It's as much fun as you could imagine

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

I'm convinced Miller is Goebbels reincarnated.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

ChatGPT told him it was a good idea

[–] RaoulDuke@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

I heard they accidentally cut off his small penis when he got circumcised as a baby.

The essence of postliberalism is the rejection of the notion that some neutral standards of conduct apply to all parties. Miller, like Trump, appears to believe his side stands for what is right and good, and his opponents stand for what is evil. Any methods used by Trump are ipso facto justified, and any methods used against him illegitimate.

A couple of weeks ago, Miller claimed that a disturbed gunman shooting Charlie Kirk impelled the government to crack down on the left. Now he says a handful of activists protesting ICE impel the government to crack down on the left.

Violence is not the cause of Trump and Miller’s desire to use state power to crush their opposition. It is the pretext for which they transparently long.

I wish people on the right could see past the love bombing and manipulation tactics, and understand how disposable they really are. Lately it's made me wonder if there are any MAGA supporters who have experienced an abusive relationship, escaped, and really reflected on what they left behind? Because, if those people do exist within MAGA, it's very hard to believe they couldn't feel the pattern and cycles of abuse somewhere deep inside of themselves.

"It's us vs the radical leftists."

"They want to hurt you and silence you because you don't belong in their world. We want you, and we'll keep you safe."

"Here's a bigger salary and sign on bonus than you ever dreamed of making. No training or requirements other than your willingness to blindly act as our loyal secret police."

"Have some military grade weapons. You have our blessing and encouragement to go out there and pretend reality is a video game that you control. Don't worry about anything bad happening. We've got your back. You're safe with us."

I think one of the things that stuck out to me most about that insane speech Miller gave to the Memphis safe task force on Wednesday, is that he got them amped up and ready for battle, then he got the fuck out of dodge. Reports said he literally left out the back door.

Like a child lighting a fire cracker, and quickly running away so he doesn't get hurt or blamed for the explosion he caused. He'll watch from afar and laugh as it plays out because he knows he's safe. The people he left behind to deal with the explosion are not, but he doesn't care. We know it. He knows it, but I'm pretty sure they're oblivious.

Within hours of Miller's little battle cry, federal agents in unmarked cars filled with weapons and military gear were speeding through an American city completely unfamiliar to them. When the first wreck happened during a high speed chase, the agents were hurt, bystanders were hurt, resources were wasted dealing with the fallout, nobody knew who was responsible, and Miller was safe hundreds of miles away watching the fireworks.

Refuse to let go of the fact that after Miller publicly accused a judge of "insurrection" for simply doing her fucking job, an act of domestic terrorism nearly killed the judge and her family. Put the blame squarely where it belongs. Don't blame "MAGA," blame the bald man child that lit the fuse.

I was never maga, but I was politically ignorant for a long time (never voted for the C. Diff stain in office thank fuck) until I divorced my abusive ex. I was able to reflect on that marriage in therapy and finally saw how the sausage was made. Left religion in the dust, went hard left politically, and that's when I started to really see the parallels between abusive relationships and right wing ideology.

That therapist was a badass. Without her help, I probably would've still been stuck in that marriage.

There is nothing manly about that butt plug with ears !

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's not my typical watch, but I've caught a couple of YouTubes in the channel "life take two". The host is an ex-maga, ex-christofascist, who talks a lot about the abusive nature of the combined movements.

"Dismantle Terrorism and Terror Networks"

So, schools, newspapers, universities, hospitals, utility providers, and everyone who doesn't own weapons. Got it.

Goddamn who would have seen those threats coming.

Did this post happen before the fire?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 days ago

Miller's tweet was on the 4th. The fire was on the 5th.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I look forward to reading about his hardships in prison.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Unless you mean you'll be in prison reading about what he's doing outside that doesn't seem to be the direction we're heading

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Anybody want to go halves with me on some Etsy witches?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, the bald fuck isn't producing any locks of hair anymore, so the voodoo doll connection will be limited at best. Unless someone wants to take one for the team and pluck some pubes?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

I'm betting he keeps the thing shaved smoother than a baby's bottom to make his penis look as big as he manage.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

These lies always sounded - well, like lies - but they're now also starting to sound stale, hysterically repeated. Is it just me and the fediverse, or are the masses also picking up on it?

The means of action of the leaders. Affirmation, repetition, contagion

When, however, it is proposed to imbue the mind of a crowd with ideas and beliefs—with modern social theories, for instance—the leaders have recourse to different expedients. The principal of them are three in number and clearly defined — affirmation, repetition, and contagion. Their action is somewhat slow, but its effects, once produced, are very lasting.

Affirmation pure and simple, kept free of all reasoning and all proof, is one of the surest means of making an idea enter the mind of crowds.

Affirmation, however, has no real influence unless it be constantly repeated, and so far as possible in the same terms.

When an affirmation has been sufficiently repeated and there is unanimity in this repetition … what is called a current of opinion is formed and the powerful mechanism of contagion intervenes. Ideas, sentiments, emotions, and beliefs possess in crowds a contagious power as intense as that of microbes.

I wonder if he wrote that in the hotel cuck chair while Elon fucked his wife?

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

He is 100% the type of guy that gets his ass kicked at a bar and then his gf goes home with the guy.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

He was in the cuck chair, and Musk was in the metacuck chair behind him cause his dick is broken from a botched surgery. The one fucking his wife is Bernie Sanders.

Funny how it is right wing direction national guard forces going out, the right controls every branch of the federal gov and many state govs yet somehow they are still helpless in the face of the handful of independent judiciary left.

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Well funded? Are you fucking kidding me? DSA just dealt with a funding crisis last year!
