There's much worse about to come than just silencing Jimmy Kimmel

Consider this ... next elections the opposition of Trump wants to put out commercials and videos of how trump's policies hurt America...

But the FCC has them all pulled in name of Trump because they "mislead the American public" ... so only pro trump commercials everywhere...

Underrated comment. Postal service is likely next. Can’t have vote by mail if they won’t deliver.
- He tried that in 2020
- The post is now on a 7-Day Target for delivery. My entire life 2 to 3 days, including the day you put it in the mail, within 2 to 3 days anywhere in the country it would be delivered. By 2020 it had went down to 3 to 5 days, and now it's just went up to a full seven days. I have to wait 7 days for a piece of mail now. How people are not more upset about this I do not know I am fucking livid with rage.
"next elections".
Hah!
Good one.
- Russia, Iran, and North Korea still have elections.
  They will be held. They might not matter, but voting booths will open.
- Oh all his people he loves keeps having elections. They just run unopposed, and win no matter what.
  He WANTS the elections... it's a popularity contest, you think Trump would get rid of that?
  Actual fair elections on the other hand...
a la Napoleon, the confederate states of america, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and the Likud.
nothing is ever new
The only reason I think this isn't a possibility is because of the money and legality.
The companies that take the ad money wouldn't turn it down.
Any company who refuses to air said ads would be sued. Not the administration, but the companies themselves. Into oblivion. They wouldn't risk that.
The majority of political ad spending was all online in the past 4 cycles anyway. That's just where the eyeballs are at. Put enough ads that say "This is how you stop Trump", and it's a done deal hopefully.
- You can’t tell me Kimmel and Colbert weren’t making money.
- If you tried to sue a private company for not running your ads, you'd save more time just lighting your money on fire.

Well obviously. We live in a fascist country. We've lived in a fascist country all our lives. Its just now we've got a president who isn't concerned with maintaining the facade anymore.

Buy a gun. Learn to use it. No, you won't be dictating the terms of its use. Violence will come to you. You can be an active participant in that outcome or you can be a statistic.

You have Innernette in your bunker?
- If I won the lottery I'd buy a bunker. One of the old cold war era ones.

much worse to come

I cannot conceive of anything worse than a late night host losing his job.

Most of the articles say it was because of the kirk comments, when in reality it was because of the trump comments. They fired Kimmel for showing that trump didn't care about kirk dying.

Starts at about 2 minutes.

Video of monologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk

And here is a video of my favorite LBC commentator James O'Brien discussing it: https://youtu.be/RV_S-oDqp_c
He also plays the relevant part of the monologue twice.

Why they using that smug fucking thumbnail. It pisses me off. Want to punch him in his smug face.

I love this thumbnail because of South park. All I can think of now is his small penis and trying to sleep with Satan.
That's the point exactly.

As a Canadian I don’t get the whole gun thing and I’ve tried arguing it even with people on the left who love guns. The reasoning is that you want guns to stand up to tyrants. Well? What the fuck are you guys waiting for??

I think people are waiting for a chance to make an actual difference in acting. They're waiting for leaders to come along, so throwing your life away is not the only option to do something, where you could be a part of something that is working towards a greater goal, all legally should go without saying we have a right to defend ourselves from unlawful attacks.
The 2nd isn't what you jump to right away. We're getting there but we're not there yet. It's a last resort. Right now the left needs to be getting real comfortable with owning firearms, because the fascist are already heavily armed and are wanting to be oppressors.
- The 2nd has been redirected in support of the new regime. Note that all other rights are under attack save that one, they need to keep the Right Rabble in line and ignoring the increasing temperature of the pot of water they’re sitting in by demonizing, blaming, and silencing critics.
An invite.
It was always a lie to sell more guns propped up by a bunch of dumbasses that don't realize it.
Having a right to gun is a pretty arcane concept and doesn't exist in the same capacity anywhere else in the world.
It'd one of those unique and bizzare American quirks.

I’ve heard rumors that there are a bunch of new Reddit accounts randomly asking people about their opinion on the Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie Kirk.

That is interesting, what are your opinions on Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie kirk?
- I'm not American so I've not heard about one of them, but I heard the other one is a pain in the neck...
- They have very American sounding names.
- 🤐
- Who?

If you really want to know who Trump is, google:

Case 5:16-cv-00797-DMG-KS

See section 12.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

The empire has won, Voldemort has taken over the ministry, Gilead has arrived

It's not over by a long shot. If it was, they wouldn't give a shit what some late night hosts say. The whole reason they're so sensitive about criticisms of Charlie Kirk is because even after becoming a martyr, people still find him, and them, repulsive. That scares them.
- unfortunately I don't think so...
  I don't think they actually care about Charlie Kirk at all... half of maga hated kirk. Laura Loomer was bashing kirk while he was alive (obviously for very different reasons than us).
  His value to maga just went up massively BECAUSE HE'S DEAD. They've wanted to crack down on free speach in the left for ages, but they've lacked the right hook. They wanted to do it with Luigi and Brian Thompson... but sadly they realized that average american's were very familiar with the predatory nature of the health insurance industry, and even brainwashed right wing maniacs have horror stories involving health insurance.
  Kirk is a pawn, they aren't trading their values of free speech to protect Kirk. Removing free speech was their values, and Kirks assassination is an excuse to make it happen. If we gave trump a time machine to go back and save Kirk, he'd absolutely turn down the opportunity.
- It’s also an excuse.
- They aren't scared at all.
  The only thing they have to worry about is pissing off enough people with guns, if enough of their own base infights too much.
  ... They have most of the guns. In that base, in the military, in ICE.
  The rest of this will just follow the literal Nazi playbook.
  The law is whatever they say it is, dissent and be jailed, extradited, shot, whatever.
  They will soon totally control almost all the media, and reality will become what they say it is, and most people will mostly believe it.
  ... Unless an organized and disciplined resistance appears... and we all know how great the Dems are at that... then this has a very predictable, very bad ending... just look at history.
- I wish I lived in your reality.
Never read the books or saw the movies. How does the rest of it go?
- In all of those franchises, the good guys win eventually. In Harry Potter, they got lucky and ended the fascist regime in only a year. In Star Wars, they had decades of this shit and it came back again in the next generation.
- The empire is still strong. Voldemort is a shriveled piece of flesh (unable to die because of his magic). Gilead eventually falls.

All this over a rapey reality show loser.

I can not wait for the next South Park episode

It’s crazy that American citizens are being disappeared into gulags based on their race, free speech is being silenced by fascists, your rights and services are being stripped, and the best you guys can do is a Disney boycott. As a non American this is so frustrating to watch
- It is even more frustrating to watch as an american. But without leadership there is little to do and we are completely bereft of it. Our opposition politicians are less than worthless and we have no one bringing a strategy to enlist us in. Which is all by design, the Democrats' main job as they see it is quashing any sort of popular reform. Winning elections is secondary if that. They are good cop to Republican bad, even as Republicans are openly playing hitler.
I liked this one in particular:
Need a more reliable source, preferably from Disney themselves. This is fishy as fuck

The article describes the history of civil wars being tracked by following the violence down from the apex of a hierarchical pyramid, with politicians first, followed by the fourth estate, etc...

Maybe like, I dunno, don't structure your society as a hierarchical pyramid?

What does it say?

We're fucked WE'RE FUCKED
