It's not clown world, it's fascist world. They don't care what the pretext is as long as it legitimizes disarming citizens so that they can be made into obedient serfs.

I would say communists but the fact is even fucking Marx insisted on the entire proletariat being armed.

If you could describe a fascist regime, it would be characterized as:

  1. Imperialist. Check.
  2. A surveillance state. Check.
  3. Corporate monopolies and government working together against the individual citizen. Check.
  4. Actively promoting gun confiscation. Check.
  5. Actively promoting free speech restrictions and punishment for dissent via coercion or intimidation. Check, check anr fucking check.

The fraudulent elections part is a really, really big one. I can’t believe I left that out. It has piqued my interest though, I wonder if there was another time in US history that roughly 40% of the electorate thought there was fraud that changed the result? I’m going to go find out.
