Three years after a foiled plot to kidnap Michigan's governor, the final trial is set to begin
The final trial of suspects in a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan's governor begins this week
Nearly three years after authorities foiled a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the last defendants accused of taking part go on trial Monday.
Eric Molitor and brothers William Null and Michael Null were among 14 men, described by prosecutors as anti-government extremists, charged in the scheme weeks before the November 2020 election. They were angered by Whitmer's COVID-19 policies, which shut down schools and restricted the economy, investigators said in court filings.

Conservatism should be outlawed. Period.
What would the even mean?
Easy. Just outlaw overt bigotry, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia and xenophobia.
Conservatism would effectively be illegal.
That's not so easy because there's a lot of people that think citing a statistic is misogyny, or that criticizing Israel is antisemitic, or might just have nuanced views about how the working class would be affected from unrestricted immigration (is that xenophobia?).
That's not so easy because there's a lot of people that think citing a statistic is misogyny, or that criticizing billionaires as a group is antisemitic, or might just have nuanced views about how the working class would be affected from unrestricted immigration (is that xenophobia?).
Part of the reason for free speech protections (legally or on some platforms) is that many people apply these labels with very little thought.
In that case liberalism should be outlawed too. Can't have it both ways.

Outlawing conservatism is essentially outlawing liberalism because outlawing thought is absolutely tyranny.
Conservatives are all wrong about pretty much everything pretty much all of the time, but a core aspect of liberalism is that they're allowed to be wrong.
Lemmy users are even stupider than reddit users.
It’s like they took the bottom 5% of the communists in reddit and moved them over here
Yeah, at least half the posts in memes aren't even memes at all. Just cringe statements like a 13 year old newly communist edgelord would make.
Well look at that! Someone named "theyoyomaster" is calling people childish. 🤣
With conservatives, every accusation is a confession!
I mean, I created my standard username when I was starting highschool and haven't changed it. Considering at the time I was literally being paid to yo-yo, it stuck. If your never ending need to project is that strong and all you have to counter what I'm saying is literally attacking a username then go ahead. Maybe one day you'll grow up enough to realize that shit like this never convinces 3rd parties of your views.
