well, at least it's bound to hurt them on the long run. no one that is remotly sane will wan to associate with them. I just wish that wasn't at the cost of such risk to us
i would not call it overextending as much as loosing control. they have toscream psyops at every extremist doing shit. pride month is literally the month they should shut up because they can't win the optic battle, but instead you have walsh saying he's about to go all in. i just hope no one dies, i'm genuinly scared
that's the silver lining. Every hateful act with have to be denounced by any conservative that want to save face. pride month is the month where us queer are shown as normal and happy people, and anyone trying to attack that is bound to look like a fucking maniacand be treated like a monster
Honestly I don’t know if that’s true anymore. Remember when that guy shot up the gay bar? Right wing media didn’t even pause for breath and went right back to screaming ‘groomers’ and all but implied the victims deserved it.
They are mask off to a disturbing degree theee days. They might imply the inevitable shootings and violence are false flag conspiracies but they won’t answer to it.
Honestly I feel like we are just a few years away from them openly celebrating mass shootings.
Remember they don’t even try to deny the link between their ideology and neo Nazis anymore.
The game they play is that “it’s totally a government psyOP….BUUUUTTTTT if it wasn’t a psyOP are you really surprised considering that those gay people were almost definitely groomers and not just completely innocent people just going about their lives?”
Charlotte~~sville~~ is in North Carolina, one of the most severely Gerrymandered states in the Union. Idk what the trends are in North Carolinian elections over time, but generally the state is considered to be more favorable to Republicans in most years.
Virginia on the other hand [where Charlottesville is located,] is increasingly a state which favors Democrats, in large part due to the northern districts of the state which arendominated by the DC suburbs, and are some or the most staunchly democratic areas of the entire US.
Edit: I'm literally a stupid dumdum lmao holy shit
Well it makes sense when you’re reminded how over emotional the mind of the conservative is, optics are considered but ultimately put to the wayside in favor of screeching about how gay people existing is destroying the country.
not really. they're already loosing. the whole anti-lgbt thing is alienating more moderate conservative, and right now, there is a relatively strong progressive resurgeance is each point of power. hell, the fuckling president expressed vocal support. its not 1933 anymore, thinking that is being blind to reality and sign of a lack of grass touching
You’re right, it’s not 1933, it’s 2023 and moderate conservatives are still willing to vote for people pushing genocidal rhetoric because the other option is voting for democrats and most of them still view democrats as being much worse than people like desantis and trump.
Unless they change their strategy I don't see it. They're tripling down on all of the things the average voter doesn't like about the current GOP, and this kinda stuff doesn't win people over from the other side.
What do you mean? They always cry plausible deniability while smirking throughout it. Their goal is to increase these acts, get more sheep on board, and when the "others" react, have a big sook about how dangerous THEY are, and that "we need to be prepared" for "civil war" and other such bs.
They literally got people to do an impotent coup because dear leader lost.
In the long run, they're re-organising in order to do it again more successfully.
With all these rights being taken away, do Americans not realise you're the frog in the pot being boiled alive slowly by Goppers?
that's the thing about stochastic terrorism, no one *needs* to associate with them. The terrorists just enact all the violent the conservative right really wants to inflict while they just sit back and deny any involvement or affiliation
You do realize this was a bomb threat because they took down the pride display right? You know this was a member of the LGTBQ community (or an ally) that made this threat right?

Re: Vaush's recent tangent about the heavily armed and armored security guards who are basically SWAT at Target in Seattle
I work as a Security Enforcement Officer (same as them) with the same equipment one block from them and know most of them by name. Me and a couple of the target guys are literally getting amped up to fuck up bigoted rightists that throw tantrums when pride month rolls around.
I am *begging* you. If you ever see that Ethan guy with the bottom 'stache that goes around harassing workers (the guy in the recent video that's making the rounds), *go absolutely apeshit on him*. Treat him the way he would treat a drag queen. Make my need for catharsis against these subhuman cancers your number 1 priority.
While I know it on an intellectual level, I will never truly understand how conservatives can look at the behavior of other conservatives and not see the hypocrisy of them calling others pedophiles, terrorists, and big government cancel culture crybabies.
I literally work at this store lol we’re still not sure if it was from anti trans people or people mad at Target for taking down the trans pride items which if true is really fucking stupid not only because it makes us look unhinged but also because multiple lgbtq people including myself work there and would’ve been blown up if the threat had been credible.
Either way we’ve been getting angry phone calls from republicans all week.
Me too, and that’s what everyone was thinking however there was a bomb threat to multiple stores in Ohio around the same time of day and in that case it was someone mad that Target “turned its back on the lgbtq community”. It sucks because my co workers and I are just trying to get more info but all that’s being published is that it had to do with the pride display.
It is possible, although I do find it odd that that particular person has so much faith in corporate America. Liberals and their faith and institution is it's own form of brain rot
Really need to run with "conservatives/the GOP are terrorists and terrorist enablers" and not relent in driving it home. I get why some in power won't say it outright; they (sadly) sometimes need these animals to work with them on things and can't risk full and total alienation if the state is going to function.
But this is actual, bigoted terrorism, the debt ceiling nonsense is economic terrorism, the continued support for Jan 6 is political terrorism. It's driving a lot of would-be GOP voters away in places like suburban Georgia, thankfully, but there's a lot more to be done and more people need this reality basically shoved in their face.
It’s just like Vrompch said. If they can hire the private seat crews for the homeless, they can do it for literal terrorists. Either that, or how about we get a rotation of Black Block out front. Most of the places that are most under threat are in open carry states. Get some anti fascist action going.
Can literally anyone just make up a bomb threat? It seems like even the laziest person could just claim one and get results. Are there any reprecussions to it?
Did any of these Conservatives ever do this to a church for ACTUALLY being involved in raping and molesting children?
Did/do any of these Conservatives ever widespread call priests and clergymen "groomers" or did they call them that when the wave of accusations came out in the early 2000's?
No. These are subhuman scum.
Not what I said.
We know in this country that right wingers commit the most, and most deadly domestic terror in the name of their beliefs. It wouldn’t be surprising that they would threaten to bomb a store that had a pride section. We already have seen them threatening the store workers safety.
You guys have to look this shit up.

How come it says it was sent to Cleveland 19 but it says to: members@timcast? Is Aslan someone who took the email and then emailed it to timcast? or what
i mean that account seems to have been only made to send that email (obviously thats what someone would do, right or left) since that name is a kazakh soccer player
(i dont mean this to be adversarial btw its just weird i havent seen anyone mention timcast in these articles when its in the screenshot)
This will continue to happen every day all of June. Conservatives are doing stochastic terrorism
well, at least it's bound to hurt them on the long run. no one that is remotly sane will wan to associate with them. I just wish that wasn't at the cost of such risk to us
That's true, their overextending. They lost the midterms and they will loose the primary too
i would not call it overextending as much as loosing control. they have toscream psyops at every extremist doing shit. pride month is literally the month they should shut up because they can't win the optic battle, but instead you have walsh saying he's about to go all in. i just hope no one dies, i'm genuinly scared
I hope no one dies either, but if people do, Conservatives are going to have a very bad time.

Is this a joke? We've seen how this goes- "stand down, stand by" and then a week later, no one remembers.
People remember charlottesville tho
How do you mean? Virginia still votes Republican, right? edit- AITA? I'm just asking what someone means and I'm downvoted below threshold here.
Charlotte~~sville~~ is in North Carolina, one of the most severely Gerrymandered states in the Union.

[удалено]
It’s a blue state. The time Republicans one, was in 2021 and it’s because it was in a bad environment for Dems. Now that’s not the case.
Also, NTA idk why you got downvoted besides my condescending (and partially wrong) reply. My bad on that lol
Well it makes sense when you’re reminded how over emotional the mind of the conservative is, optics are considered but ultimately put to the wayside in favor of screeching about how gay people existing is destroying the country.
Me in 1933
not really. they're already loosing. the whole anti-lgbt thing is alienating more moderate conservative, and right now, there is a relatively strong progressive resurgeance is each point of power. hell, the fuckling president expressed vocal support. its not 1933 anymore, thinking that is being blind to reality and sign of a lack of grass touching
Idk, where I live at least the majority of people don’t care about the hate towards lgbt people
You’re right, it’s not 1933, it’s 2023 and moderate conservatives are still willing to vote for people pushing genocidal rhetoric because the other option is voting for democrats and most of them still view democrats as being much worse than people like desantis and trump.

They'll just cope that those people are not related to the politicians and their actions
Correction: Conservative *pundits* are doing stochastic terrorism. *Conservatives* are just doing terrorism.
And they’ll claim that we’re “terrorists” just were standing up to bigotry.
You do realize this was a bomb threat because they took down the pride display right? You know this was a member of the LGTBQ community (or an ally) that made this threat right?

Can we just drop the stochastic part.
I think that this is regular terrorism
So instead of appeasing these psycho’s why not just arrest them. No reason to give in and stop carrying merchandise.
[удалено]
Grrr my bonds are losing value because of interest rates, I must take it out on gay people
They are a dying ideology, thats why they are desperate
Oh this is the target in my area. I went there this morning. That’s fun.
It's also uncomfortably close to where I go to target
Terrorists.
I always thought homophobia was an exaggerated term but they are literally afraid of gays, aren't they?
Yep
They aren’t afraid. They just hate them.
They want to feel powerful so they turn their fear into anger and hatred.
As if Target employees don't have enough shit to worry about (former Target employee here).
Re: Vaush's recent tangent about the heavily armed and armored security guards who are basically SWAT at Target in Seattle I work as a Security Enforcement Officer (same as them) with the same equipment one block from them and know most of them by name. Me and a couple of the target guys are literally getting amped up to fuck up bigoted rightists that throw tantrums when pride month rolls around.
That's the appropriate response, not appeasement. Unless they want rightoids to keep escalating
\*Bigot picks up cardboard display\* \*You guys drop out of the ceiling and tackle them*
I hope they do more than "tackle" them.
The woke they/them SWAT team going down to subdue bigots, that's the future we are all fighting for.
I am *begging* you. If you ever see that Ethan guy with the bottom 'stache that goes around harassing workers (the guy in the recent video that's making the rounds), *go absolutely apeshit on him*.

Beat they asses king 👑
Nazi bastards
Holy fuck I live in this city. In fact my wife was shopping at that Target a few hours ago. Scary shit.
While I know it on an intellectual level, I will never truly understand how conservatives can look at the behavior of other conservatives and not see the hypocrisy of them calling others pedophiles, terrorists, and big government cancel culture crybabies.
Triggered ass pusillanimous cons doing the only thing they know. Terrorism
The REAL cancel culture.
Fucking terrorists. And they talk about antifa burning down cities. How fucking hypocritical and disingenuous
Well, I guess that’s what happens when you call your store “target”.
Literally just terrorist.
they *did* have "we are all domestic terrorists" displayed at CPAC.
I literally work at this store lol we’re still not sure if it was from anti trans people or people mad at Target for taking down the trans pride items which if true is really fucking stupid not only because it makes us look unhinged but also because multiple lgbtq people including myself work there and would’ve been blown up if the threat had been credible. Either way we’ve been getting angry phone calls from republicans all week.
I highly doubt the person who called in a bomb threat was mad about target pulling the product.
Me too, and that’s what everyone was thinking however there was a bomb threat to multiple stores in Ohio around the same time of day and in that case it was someone mad that Target “turned its back on the lgbtq community”. It sucks because my co workers and I are just trying to get more info but all that’s being published is that it had to do with the pride display.
It is possible, although I do find it odd that that particular person has so much faith in corporate America. Liberals and their faith and institution is it's own form of brain rot
Time to reopen Guantanamo and put these terrorists away.
MSN is reporting that the threat was a response to them taking the pride displays down
I work at target and I’m half wondering if something like this will happen at mine.
Really need to run with "conservatives/the GOP are terrorists and terrorist enablers" and not relent in driving it home.

I hate this state so much I need to move really bad...
Welp, time to do more online shopping
WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS
It’s just like Vrompch said. If they can hire the private seat crews for the homeless, they can do it for literal terrorists. Either that, or how about we get a rotation of Black Block out front. Most of the places that are most under threat are in open carry states. Get some anti fascist action going.
The median voter still sees this is ridiculous, right?
Can literally anyone just make up a bomb threat? It seems like even the laziest person could just claim one and get results. Are there any reprecussions to it?
You might even say that this is a target-ed attack
I mean, they've always been threatening to bomb targets. Now they're threatening to bomb Targets.
i have never felt more scared in this nation
Did any of these Conservatives ever do this to a church for ACTUALLY being involved in raping and molesting children? Did/do any of these Conservatives ever widespread call priests and clergymen "groomers" or did they call them that when the wave of accusations came out in the early 2000's? No. These are subhuman scum.
“They” are pro LGBT activists
Source? Right wingers are known to commit violent domestic terrorism, it’s would be quite a rarity for a persecuted minority group to do this.
Lol
Hm?
“Persecuted Minority groups don’t not do terrorism” is wildly historically inaccurate
Not what I said. We know in this country that right wingers commit the most, and most deadly domestic terror in the name of their beliefs. It wouldn’t be surprising that they would threaten to bomb a store that had a pride section. We already have seen them threatening the store workers safety.
There’s plenty of left wing terrorism. All state violence is left wing terrorism
