“No seriously…how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook?” Atkins said.

Atkins called the 75+ million people who voted for President Trump a “belligerent death cult against reality.”

Replying to @DavidOAtkinsThis is not your standard partisan policy disagreement. This is a conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality & basic decency.The only actual policy debates of note are happening within the dem coalition between left and center left.

After taking heat for his tweets, David Atkins gaslighted by claiming he doesn’t really mean “re-education camps” (he does).

David Atkins
@DavidOAtkins

Replying to @DavidOAtkinsAnd no, of course I'm not advocating "re-education camps" or anything like that. The point is that conservative infotainment is disinformation propaganda indistinguishable from cult programming, and social media algorithms enable it.

Many unhinged leftists agree with David Atkins.

@LauraMiers

Replying to @DavidOAtkinsThank you for starting this conversation. Ignoring the propaganda and disinformation problem would be a grave mistake. We should already have a plan to combat it. Simply replacing the President does nothing. We need actual deprogramming efforts, & we should consult cult experts.

Replying to @awelab1956 and @DavidOAtkinsThis would be a start. But there is a LOT beyond just Fox, Limbaugh, OAN, Parler, et. al. It’s in their churches. The theocratic and white supremacy creep are intertwined. @C_Stroop has done a LOT of work on this and @johnastoehr published an extensive thread on it yesterday. 1/?

@leprechngangstr

Replying to @DavidOAtkins I'm not sure how you do this with the 1A, but the German way has to be the way. Anti-democratic (small d) organizations have to be outlawed. Confederate insignia have to be outlawed. Much as some people like to pretend, more speech really isn't the answer. It's deplatforming.

Republicans call Ventura County Democratic leader's tweets offensive

National Republicans are seizing on a local California Democratic leader’s controversial tweets to try to gain traction in a competitive congressional race straddling Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

David Atkins’ unhinged tweetstorm calling for conservatives to be put into reeducation camps comes after Democrats began compiling lists of Trump supporters, suggesting they will be used to hold the president’s supporters accountable.

Leftists Suggest "Re-Education Camps", "Firing Squads", & Banning Talk Radio To "Deprogram" 75 Million Trump Supporters

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

Leftists responded to a Twitter thread asking “how do you deprogram 75 million people?” by suggesting Trump supporters should be interned in “re-education camps” and that all conservative talk radio should be banned.



“No seriously…how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook?” asked David Atkins (pronouns in bio), a regional director for California Democrats. “We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South,” he added.

Atkins went on to frame Trump voters as a “conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality & basic decency” before issuing a veiled threat by stating, “People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves.”

Replying to @DavidOAtkins You can't run on a civil war footing hopped up on conspiracy theories hating everyone who lives in cities, mainlining Fox/Breitbart/QAnon, threatening to kidnap governors and shoot protesters, without people trying to figure out how to reverse the brainwashing.

i mean, for chrissakes, conservatives are literally giving themselves COVID just to own the libs. They're dying in COVID wards insisting they don't have COVID because it must be a liberal plot.People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves.

While asserting the moral high ground, many of the response in the thread demanded outright tyranny or yet more censorship as a means of ensuring “the good guys” have their way.

One verified user called for “Nuremberg trials.”

Generally speaking, I believe re-education camps are a good thing. But we don’t need to send 75 million people there. Maybe we just need a party that represents their material interests so they won’t be so susceptible to future grifts?

Start by banning trump flags like we should have done with the confederate flag. One of our many mistakes and why we failed at Reconstruction. We should not allow a hate symbol to be flown with pride in our democracy. Germany got that one right after WWII

If you believe in "re-education camps" for Republicans, you may be a Nazi. Try to remember that.

This is why the Bill of Rights, especially the first and second amendments are so important. Seventy million Americans are only capable of defending themselves from these socialists by the power invested to us by the Constitution and Bill of Rights which includes our private gun ownership.
