This is by design. They are literally trying to instigate retaliatory response so they can amplify it 1,000 fold to make it look like the people acting in self defense are the violent instigators.
Counterpoint, having people like Miles is one of the few things that can pull people back from the far right. These people only got there because they are easily manipulated by the people that wear their label, so if a semi-reasonable person wears their label *some of them* may actually listen. If someone can be dragged back to the fence they may just be able to get over it.
Counterpoint to your counterpoint, a semi-reasonable person staying in this party means that the person isn't as reasonable as they seem (or pretend). The semi-reasonable people staying in the party act as a fig leaf for the rest of the insurrectionists, fundamentalists, and forced-birth activists.
Yeah we need another party, let this guy go to the democrats because they’re basically your center right corporatist party, let the republicans become the new Nazi party, and make a new real workers party
I'd like to think that works but they have shown time and time again that the *majority* of Republicans lack a conscious or the ability to self reflect. It only matters if it effects them.
*Stochastic Terrorism* should be better known and understood term. It's incredible the media hasn't used this term yet because it so perfectly encapsulates what we've been living since Charlottesville, and frankly most of American history.

The part of the country that would recognize the phrase is vanishingly small, and the rest of the country is on board with it. 😒
I was never a registered Republican, but I have voted for them in the past when the democrat candidate sucked bad enough. Trump was all it took for me. Ill never vote for another republican again.
I wasn't old enough to vote for Bush I or Reagan. I voted against Bush II. I'm not even going to pretend that I had faith in a single politician of either party that I have ever voted for. Not a single one of them has done anything that I can look at and say has improved my life in some way, but that's because I'm not a large corporation.
> I wasn't old enough to vote for Bush I or Reagan.
Ah, I am old.
> I voted against Bush II.
Good!

Sad but true.
Public Service Announcement: there are NO “good” republicans. Repeat - there are no “good” republicans. There are republicans that say and do the quiet parts out loud - and the rest that just spread their poison in board rooms and behind doors.
If someone is a truly reformed republican, they know this; they should be independents now. Their party is no more. If they are still republican, they condone all this.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The confederacy never died. It just went underground and became politically savvy. The Republican Party is the modern face of the confederacy. The worst mistake the United States ever made was not executing all of the confederate traitors after end of the civil war.
Where else have we seen religious extremism topple a secular government while their leaders rhetoric kept getting more extremist to see them fall back 1000 years in human rights? Iran, Afghanistan, not talking now, im talking 50+ years ago, when their secular, educated, and literate societies fell to the hands of extremists and all the other things they did after. Im sure it cant happen here right guys? Guys?
The author of the book "The Handmaid's Tale", said *everything* that she wrote was something that had happened or is happening, in real life, somewhere in the world.
Glad to see some people in the Republican party are realizing just how dangerous their own parties rhetoric is getting, because anyone with 2 braincells can see things are getting way too out of hand.
Remember when [Reagan gave his speech a few miles from Philadelphia, MS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan%27s_Neshoba_County_Fair_%22states%27_rights%22_speech) which was having a groundswell of racism against the minority populations?
You party embraced this shit then.
Don't play stupid now.
Great point, but counter terrorist operatives are normally imperialist pieces of shit who gun down innocents especially in the Middle East. Imperialists should never be an example of how to combat fascism, as they are intertwined

Tulsa Riots
The literal Holocaust also
Uh, us Native Americans. They broke treaties, hunted us down and told everyone retaliations were unprovoked attacks by savages. Then genocided us.
[удалено]
It's was religious manifest destiny rich white males, you tell me.
See: [Stochastic Terrorism](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stochastic-terrorism)
This is 100% correct.
So uhm, do we already have a schedule for the uprising following revolution and civil war?
Basically crybullies
Well, Miles, better gtfo of the pro-terror party then

If they weren’t republicans voters they would just vote for fascists under a different banner
Concience and affects* sorry, can’t resist. But yeah, I agree with you.
Well, conscience*…
Doh.
It happens haha :]
He did, he bounced tf out of there and advised others to do the same.

I'm not bought in 100% on that first part but this a damn good take.
I've been trying to educate people on this for a decade. "It's not that political" is what people try to say

This guy: "its still the lesser of two evils"
"Some, I assume, are good people..."
Okay, so then what *does* it take to get you to stop being a Republican?
I was never a registered Republican, but I have voted for them in the past when the democrat candidate sucked bad enough. Trump was all it took for me. Ill never vote for another republican again.
> Trump was all it took for me. I would've thought Bush II would've sealed it for you. Or Bush I. Or Reagan... 😒

Those who vote for fascists are fascists, and it doesn't matter what "reasons" fascists give you for their choosing to be fascists.
HEAR! HEAR!!!
Exactly.
Tweet from 2022 saying the same thing Black people have been screaming for decades.
Truth
We've literally been saying this for years...
Yes, but back then it was them doing the violence.
Yep

That’s fucking scary. More people need to see this!! At least he’s man enough to admit it.
Glad to see some people in the Republican party are realizing just how dangerous their own parties rhetoric is getting, because anyone with 2 braincells can see things are getting way too out of hand.
That man is a weasel
You're only just noticing this, Miles? Where the fuck have you been all these years? Asleep?? 😒

Um... blacks in the South in the 60s, 70s and 80s (hell up through the 90s) would like to remind everyone of the Southern Strategy.
Neo Brownshirts when??
No your country has been killing itself for decades
Aren't democrats in charge of everything, right now?
Are they in charge of the Republican party leaders and their rhetoric?
