Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Finally, some uplifting news. But knowing Republicans they probably did it themselves to play the victim. They were quoted saying "we will not be silenced". Lady you won't even shut the fuck up to hear what people think of you. There's no bigger hint we can give. These people don't care about protests we need action.

Yep, these vibes for sure. That's a fucking nice stencil they got there.
This one has pics of the "vandalism":
Spray painting Biden 2020 and BLM with an Anarcy symbol gives it away that this indeed was self started.
It's so funny when they think Biden has a cult of rabid supporters.
Not only that - who tries to be so neat with an Anarchy symbol? No one who has ever drawn one before.
The stencil in OP is giving me similar vibes, but WTH do I know?
Or these vibes...
"Sir, when you hear the shots, reach up to your ear and squeeze the little packet so the liquid smears on your ear."
"Like this?"
"Please don't eat it, sir."
Surely they would never do such a thing! What's next? you're going to say that people of color DIDN'T do this?
You guys have to figure out if you think setting fire to your political opponents' headquarters is a good thing or not. If it helps you, then why care if it's a false flag operation?
"The Republicans are trying to paint us as supporting vandalism and arson! Glad to see their stuff get damaged, though."
They are the party that is in power and actively trying to destroy elections. In a state that generally votes VERY blue outside of a few rural counties.
I'm not going to lose much sleep over watching some nazi buildings burn. But there is a very real argument that "New Mexico is dangerous" and collecting some insurance money is more valuable to the republicans at this point.
That teeny little stencil looked so huge in their garage. This was done by people who have never done anything like this before. I doubt it was anyone outside of their circle.
I support it. They can torch everything as far as I care.
They're not exactly playing fair with the working class, property destruction gets attention. Fuck em. The time for lovey-dovey liberal bullshit is long gone. Direct action gets the goods.
They're going to use every dirty trick they can against us, this is class warfare.
Alt: you don't need to be a wizard to cast fireball text over a picture of a Molotov cocktail
The GOP crying about political violence after everything they've done is hilarious.
More accurately I'd say ICE==Gestapo these days
There's a lot of overlap
It's a secret police full of Klansmen
Possibly the grossest thing about all this, is how the RNC wasted no time trying to turn this into something it's not.
Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable
While in principle I agree, nobody was hurt. That's because this was arson, not assault.
Today, we see the same dangerous tendencies play out in new forms—attempts to suppress free speech, silence dissent, and use fear to control the political narrative.
Ironic, no? Nevermind the whataboutism regarding the old DNC and GOP roles back in the early 20th.
Their definition of violence is anything harming white people or their property
Substitute "violence" with "terrorism."
Doubly ironic when one considers just how much Republican state sponsored violence is occurring. Fuckin' hypocrites.
"The Republican Party of New Mexico will not be silenced. We will emerge from this stronger, more united, and more determined to fight for the people of New Mexico and the future of our country,"
Bitch, they just burned your office down. You're not fighting for them, you are actively fighting against them.
I believe they've burned their own building down. Now they can play victim and the blame-game.

Indeed. And yet here we are.
Let it burrrrrrrn
This is what we need to see more of
That reminds me, I have to sharpen my guillotine.
Oh, no. Thoughts and prayers.
Anybody got marshmallows?
More of this
Oh hey people in the USA are actually doing something.
I'm sure you, and many other are OOTL, so here's a way to connect:

Damm, it's a small thing, but the fact they used a stencil for the graffiti to save time is a good foresight.
I am still not sure if I come down on false flag or not.
But yeah. Basically anyone who has done "real" graffiti knows to use a stencil. You want to get in, spray it, and get out. And then dump (or burn) the stencil so there isn't anything tying you to it. Whereas people who are rookies are going to try to free hand things.
Oh, dog, I know. They caught me off guard with the style. I'm guessing they used an exacto knife on a trace out on top of card board. It just looked hand done at first. I was more surprised by the fact that they used good graffiti tactics while making it seem hand done.
The question is, why? It is weird, like you said.
I'm thinking they were well researched but not an artist
