Leftists suggest 're-education camps', 'firing squads' and banning talk radio to deprogram 75M Trump supporters

Leftists responded to a Twitter thread asking "how do you deprogram 75 million people?" by suggesting Trump supporters should be interned in "re-education camps" and that all conservative talk radio should be banned.

"No seriously...how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook?" asked David Atkins (pronouns in bio), a regional director for California Democrats. "We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South," he added.

Atkins went on to frame Trump voters as a "conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality & basic decency" before issuing a veiled threat by stating, "People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves."

While asserting the moral high ground, many of the response in the thread demanded outright tyranny or yet more censorship as a means of ensuring "the good guys" have their way.

"Reeducation camps for those salvageable," said another. Firing squad for irredeemable malcontents. Round up entire families to ensure the disease doesn't spread."

Another respondent called for "banning Trump flags." Start by banning trump flags like we should have done with the confederate flag. One of our many mistakes and why we failed at Reconstruction. We should not allow a hate symbol to be flown with pride in our democracy. Germany got that one right after WWII.

And finally, A last contributor had this to offer [Twitter refused to connect]:

Fox, Facebook, OANN, Newspeak (?), right wing radio.
Cut them off completely. End the flow of false information suddenly and immediately.
Starve out the conspiracies. Let them die. Pump the truth out 24/7 on all platforms remaining.
Do all that for 5 years and 25% will remain.

HashAttack2 Great, first we had to deal with them as walking dead, next we'll have to deal with as stone-cold dead.

Of course they'd propose it - and they'd happily do it and convince themselves that they were being 'good Americans' when they've awlays been ameriKants.

Of course, by and large, they can't fight, shoot, drive a car, build a house, plant a garden, et al., so attempting such, for them, will surely be fraught with peril.

This is the same sort of rhetoric that was used in China during the Cultural Revolution.

Believing you are better than someone else and you are right and you know what is best: this is the root cause of all the wars in the world, including the domestic war in the US.

Yeah, firing squads are the gentle way of re-education, according to leftards. These people are moonbats, to put it mildly..

Neizvestno · 2020-11-21T02:09:40Z

Do they hear themselves?

Atkins, I really want to congratulate you on inventing that diet, it's been amazing, worked great, I lost the weight and it hasn't returned, I'm sincerely grateful; now, sir, please take some advice from those of us here who care about you: please pour yourself a beer, sit the fk down and chill the fk out, ok dude.

Rowan Cocoan · 2020-11-21T08:38:22Z

life With Fritos, tortillas and potatoes & hell - why not? Go buck wild! Have a stout too! RC

P.s., (Edit) Bradly, infra: reading what you wrote, I thought..."Hmm. Popcorn...."

Thanks!

Rowan Cocoan RC, yes sir, a Murphy's Irish to start, followed by some local stout. [Link] Stout's ability, imho, to resolve mountains back into molehills (due to the feeling of having eaten a wheelbarrow of oats ? ) is absolutely wonderful; i'd invite mr. David Atkins up here to chill out over stout anytime. cheers !

Bradly · 2020-11-21T06:59:56Z

So a revolution is on the cards... I think I'll get the popcorn..

Joyly · 2020-11-21T16:15:40Z

Bradly Popcorn And beans and rice. Apparently as soon as Trump is announced as POTUS It will be on. Stay out of the cities and hunker down. It is the next step in the plan: blame Trump for civil war and ask the UN to take over the US.

Bradly Bradley, excellent observation, may be a revo but undoubtably a sh!t storm ! While you're picking up munchies some additional groceries might be a good idea too, along with some commi/fascist repellent in, the large box, marked .308.

Bradly · 2020-11-22T01:48:02Z

life Commies I'm ok with.. but the fascist repellent could be handy

Good Optics · 2020-11-22T01:51:32Z

Bradly I have a big aerosol can of that, It's called' "Fuck Off Spray".

Joyly · 2020-11-22T01:56:15Z

Good Optics I think there could be a big market for that.

Good Optics · 2020-11-22T02:00:34Z

Joyly There is. One night I took it into a club where I've known the staff for years, the guys thought it only amusing but the women were all over me wanting to buy, like, three cans, and could I put it smaller, purse-size cans. :-)
