    I’m saving this one. Too on the nose.

    “Christo-fascists are coming!”

    They’re already here.

    “They’re rounding up brown people and LGBT will be next!”

    Been saying concentration camps and trains are inbound for years now.

    “Give up your guns!”

    Perhaps liberals should take a WWII history class?

    “But they’ll kill you if you defend yourself!”

    Yes, that often happens when fighting fascists.

      No shit. They wield the gavel now. Thanks to a bunch of shitheads who couldn’t see clear to stop them. That’s the difference.

      “They’re rounding up brown people and LGBT will be next!”

      Been saying concentration camps and trains are inbound for years now.

      So have the fascists, MAGAts and Qanuts. A lot of people might think about why that is. At any rate, thanks to inaction it’s happening right now. Saying it for years did nothing, but voting would have. I’d say you chose the wrong one, but there’s very little chance you’re a US voter.

      “Give up your guns!”

      What country are you lampooning? Who the fuck has said that, publicly, in the last 40 years? Are you talking about restrictions on assault weapons? Tougher licensing requirements? Oversight of any kind? Not that you’re splitting hairs or anything but those are incredibly different from “Give up your guns!”.

      “But they’ll kill you if you defend yourself!”

      Again . . . nevermind.
