Expectations: They arrest the literal far-left that lurks the internet threatening to “take down the government” and making literal death threats (if you’ve never stumbled upon one, I envy you)
Reality: they arrest Mamdani, Sanders, AOC and also any centre-right liberal they can’t win an election against
EDIT: (Rubio) "They can call themselves anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist, communist, anarchist or Marxist,” Rubio said, according The Guardian. “It’s always the same. It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice liberation — an overwhelming need to tear down, to wreck, what is beautiful and what is right on behalf of people who are only filled with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world through violence and through terror.”

Rubio’s gonna shut down Lemmy ML. Finally. 😂
If they start arresting their competition, and we don’t get violent, it’s over. They win.
You wouldn’t just stand idle and watch as someone put you in chains.
You’d fight to stop them and/or escape.
We are all standing idle and watching our democracy fall.
