“I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”

      It’s astonishing how quickly republicans have aligned to the behaviours of the Nazi party of the 1930s. They’re leveraging trump’s conviction exactly the same as the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to turn the power of the government against anyone opposed to them.

        They’ve been working towards that since the 1930s literally. They planned their own coup attempt largely in the image of Hitler’s 10 years after his beer hall putch. Wealthy American robber barons and elected fascist, I mean Republicans planned to overthrow FDR and replace him with a business/ fascist friendly dictator. Only to do even worse than him and get caught and humiliated still in the planning phase. As a result they took a step back and decided a slower approach would be better. And have spent the last century slowly cranking up the fascism. Till today when people are finally starting to realize nearly a century too late.

          They made the mistake of trying to recruit Smedley fucking Butler to their cause. That action alone speaks to the clear lack of intelligence behind the business plot.

    Conservatives are a threat to stable and peaceful societies, and an existential threat to the whole human race due to their climate change denialism. As long as we continue to pretend that conservatism is a valid political ideology and not psychopathy and sadism packaged up to look like politics, they’ll continue to undermine democracy and peace until they get the genocide(s) they keep clamoring for

    In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.

    We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – [narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy,] all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments

    Conservatism should be openly treated as the deadly, dangerous ideology that it is. It produces only bigotry, oppression and death.

    In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.

          i love how you slashed through that socialist/capitalist dichotomy and got down to the meat: right vs. left. let’s narrow it down even further: altruism vs. narcissism. you either have empathy and want to see other people live well, or you’re a selfish asshole. this is the true dichotomy. there are ways within different systems of law and economics to make life better for most people just like there are ways within different systems to make everyone miserable. intent is what matters. my intent is to purge this world of the narcissists.

            Hear, hear! This is really what it all comes down to. I suspect sociopathy is a gradient scale where “woke leftist” is the lowest value on the left and “conservative nazi” is the highest value on the right. It all seems to come down to empathy.

        Communism: an economic theory where the stated goal is achieving socio-economic equality.

        Social conservationism: a social theory based on returning to regressive “traditional values” and oppression of “deviants”.

        Totally the same thing.

        The right have killed significantly more than communists. We just don’t label it as murder when it’s capitalists, because making “lower beings” suffer is the intended effect of capitalism. Why is it not capitalism’s fault when conservative states fail catastrophically and cause the deaths of millions, but when a communist state fails it’s suddenly socialism’s problem?

        Conservatives refuse to acknowledge that capitalism is built on mountains of bones, hubdreds of millions of bones at least, and is still completely dysfunctional. Their criticism of better ideologies is just projection of that.

        Well sure, but only self-identified communism rather than real communism. Like the National Socialism Party, the Chinese Communist Party, or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. They were all “socialism” and “communism” where the rights to everything were held exclusively by the state which was controlled by small groups of individuals. To me that doesn’t sound like it fits the bill, but whatevs.

      They’re not silly at all, they’re thugs. They want to influence the next one by showing the cost of going against them.

        but it shows what happens when people start to get organized in retaliation. they could very well start to affect cases. this is not something to laugh at.

        we could use these same techniques in support of progressive causes, or we could fight back against their strategies. either way, don’t underestimate the power of this kind of resistance.

          Yeah better to overplan and look silly when they give up and go home partway into phase 1 than to assume they’ll just go home but instead find yourself in phase 2 of their plan.

          That said, it feels like we’re in phase 30 of a plan that was probably started soon after the business plot plotters realizing they would get away with it completely.

    I’m glad the jurors have been smart enough to stay quiet. Now that the verdict is in, there is nothing keeping them from going public with details about their deliberations, but they seem to have all agreed it is best to keep out of the public eye. I wonder if the two lawyers purported to be on the jury advised them of that.

    Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of them already has an advance to write a book about it, which we will see eventuallty. I wonder if they get to keep their notes.

      They absolutely should remain publicly silent until sentencing, personal safety aside. Publicly expressing opinions could be used in an appeal as argument for influencing the judge prior to sentencing.
