The
ICEGestapo agents, more likely.If it comes to the point where the government is so bad that civilians have to fight against it, then the soldiers and police officers should join them.
That would be nice, wouldn’t it ? unfortunately cops are lawful evil, meaning they gave allegiance to DAS KAPITAL
Most will not. Look at history.
I said “should”
Yea, so here’s the thing bud, those guys are there to protect the capital owners… Sorry. Pete’s right about their inclusion however not accepting if they fail to stand down then they should go too.
If those soldiers and cops are there solely at the behest of s despot like the current one in office then they are expendable
Where does ICE fall in this paradigm?
Target practice.
He thinks he’s talking to conservatives, playing on their “thin blue line” sympathies. But like every other rank-and-file Democrat, he has failed to read the fucking room. The right-wing in America showed us on January 6th 2021 that their support of law enforcement is purely conditional, and will be revoked the minute they don’t get their way. And the Left? We always hated cops.
His message reached zero people.
It took me a moment to realize it was about AR as in AR-15 the gun and not augmented reality
It would be cool to see an arrow with a pig emoji pointing at police out of uniform.
It also involves the fantasy that you and your freedom buddies will survive a serious encounter with US armed forces because you have camos and tactical boots.
Well, based on the average marksmanship displayed by most American shooters, those cops and soldiers can probably expect to go about their business with absolute safety.
Their fantasy is specifically a David Koresh moment where the ATF and FBI come at them for fucking children.

I think this is directed at the right
Leftists with guns: this is fine
Yeah no shit buddy. It’s come to that point. I like you Pete, but don’t bury your head in the sand on this one. American soldiers defend fascism.
I like you Pete
Why, though? He’s a Neoliberal proponent of Reaganomics Lite and McKinsey grad (but I repeat myself) who keeps failing upwards.
Nah, every time pete pops up it’s something stupid that makes me like him less and less.
They’re talking about how this tweet is from 2018. Different situation then.
Maybe because he would be a fairly normal right wing figure in another country?
2018 was a different time
No, we knew it was fascism then too.
No it wasn’t. Hell, it was even 2 years into the first Trump term.
Do you think he would say anything different now?
I think his audience has shifted
In what ways?
What has Pete done to make you believe he is going after an audience that would disagree with this statement and/or that he would now disagree with this statement?
Your initial comment was that “2018 was a different time” I’m trying to understand what you think has changed so drastically since then.
I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.

Of course this is what it means. The people who wrote down this existing right had done the same to their equivalents. It’s not a fantasy.
To answer Pete Buttigeg:
That’s the point! We’re not Benjamin Netanyahu who enjoys targeting everyone but soldiers and police officers.
You know those Russian soldiers dropped their weapons during the October revolution.
If American soldoers are wise, they’d do the same.The “don’t step on me” people who talk about the right to bear arms often celebrate the police and the military
Well that sounds like more people need to bear arms.
