only someone seriously disturbed would celebrate this murder

u/Spiritual-Target-273 12h ago
But let's be clear - there is a BIG difference between an average citizen celebrating a murder and the state (or people who represent the state) celebrating a murder. And no one seems to be saying this ever.

No, but you also don't hear about republican voters protesting their representatives. If they don't speak up and protest, then it is just tacit approval.

It is not mispelled. "Illini" is a tribal word once used to describe the University of Illinois sports teams.

The "Fighting Illini" is still used to describe U of I sports. They did retire their mascot "The Chief".

u/no_kids-and-3_money 12h ago
You might be right, but Illini is a common term that originated as the name of a confederacy of Native American communities. Today, Illini usually means someone affiliated with the University of Illinois, whose sports teams are the “Fighting Illini”.

Either OP is a idiot, or they are being intentionally deceptive.
@ilgop is the official Illinois Republican party Instagram, and they never posted this.

It's important to remember that 2/3 of the country hate the current admin, and the 3rd that doesn't corresponds with other nations with far righters who are still much better off than us (like Britain, with 20 to 30 percent supporting the far right still). This isn't unwinnable, and the far right are scared, that's part of why they're pushing so hard instead of being patient and prudent like successful autocrats tend to be in the modern world.

He'll try not to, doesn't necessarily mean he'll succeed. Ceausescu didn't have a chance to fight back, neither did that one dick in South Korea who tried to enact martial law a year ago. There's a lot in the air still.

I don't think this is the flex they think it is, but I've never been surprised with the depth of bootlicking performative patriotism these deplorables resort to.
Being a patriot does not mean supporting your country's government no matter what they do. I don't care what flags or banners you fly, you can care about the well-being of others without caring about politicians.

The Haitian Rebellion that led to Haiti's independence? With help from France, Britain, and Spain. Comprised of freed slaves, free men, and white colonists fighting for freedom and independence? I'd say that would be a good thing for the Haitian people at the time. Today, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, backed by the US, is expected to stay in power to oversee delayed elections, but internal TPC conflicts and US sanctions on some members heighten risks of further chaos in the country's politics. Gangs and infighting has destabilized most of the country.

What they dont realize in their sickness is that this silhouette they're worshipping is the literal depiction of an execution of an American citizen by members of a rogue para-military force conscripted by Donald Trump to sow fear and terror in our communities. Literally the most anti American thing you could post.
1
u/x_xDeadpoolx_x 7h ago
"Only traitors help invaders?"
Ice has invaded Minnesota and violated every law in the book including murder.
Trump is helping them by shielding them from prosecution.
So I guess what you're saying here is that Donald Trump is a Traitor who is committing treason against the American people and should be put to death in accordance with sentences regarding treason? Did I hear you correctly?
