Remember John Mccains speech after he lost to Obama, and someone boo'd in the audience when he said Obama's name. And he shut that shit down in no uncertain terms?
That is what leadership looks like.
These guys aren't leaders, they are a criminal cartel.
Republicans have been repeating this same threat for years. Nobody blinks.
But criticize Charlie Kirk one time.....and you are a "terrorist".
Out of curiosity, I once glanced inside a copy of the NRA magazine.
A publication with national distribution.
I wondered what those weirdos were talking about.
In that one copy, I noted multiple instances of openly calling on "Conservatives" to literally shoot and exterminate "Liberals".
I am not exaggerating.
There's nothing Christian about the things these people say and do. The amount of hateful stuff they spew while simultaneously claiming some moral high ground is bewildering to me.
It's a shame that more people don't recognize how American politics is being massively manipulated by small groups of foreign interests as a way to destabilize the nation. It's not all that hard to spot, and it's not all that hard to find out who is doing it either. As a nation, our focus has been on advanced weapons and technological supremacy for so long, that we no longer recognize simple asymmetric threats. Our "enemies" are defeating us through simple psychological manipulation.
This isn't something that's being done to us, mate. We're doing it to everyone else. America is the center of what is essentially an international fascist movement. We're the ones - with the help of Musk, Zuck, Bannon, Theil, Miller, and all the other freaks and losers - who are spreading far-right propaganda all over the world. And this is the culmination of an intentional, focused, decades-long project (beginning in the aftermath of Watergate, with players like Ailes and Murdoch) to seize control of local government, media and information channels, and the courts.
It was an extremely well-planned and effective project that began well before I was even born, and it has come to fruition now because they finally got the 'charismatic' cult-of-personality-style fascist demagogue that they needed to pull this off. And most of the originators of this project aren't gonna make it another 8 years - they needed to execute this off now if they want to see the results of their life's work before they die.
If you're alluding to Russia, than certainly - they didn't help matters, and there's extensive documentation that Cambridge Analytica et al. collaborated directly with the Russian governments to pull off some cyber crimes - mostly related to the various e-mail and document hacks that helped swing the pendulum during Trump 1. But they are more like 'associates' who are being employed or perhaps even collaborated with for the services they can offer, not the masterminds of this whole thing. The people who actually control and dominate the information ecosystem - that is, people who own things like Twitter, Facebook, Insta, Reddit, the NYT, CNN, MSNBC, WaPo... they're all living here, and collaborating directly with the fascist administration in charge.
Self-own. The shadowy cabal is making you punch yourself? Who elected this gov't again? AFAIK, Billionaires get the same number of votes. Hell, American's have infinite voting power compared to a foreign interest.
Dying movement? They represent 30-40% of the country, friend. And for one of two parties to foment violence against the other is destabilizing to say the least.
Shameful numbers… you would think more of them would wake up after getting smacked with the clue by four the republicans have been swinging. Scandal after scandal, blatant corruption, abject incompetence, warmongering, and the constant daily deluge of lies coming from not only the felon, but all his sycophants as well. You would think at some point, they’d finally get tired of being treated like a bitch while being served shit sandwich after sandwich. It is utterly dumbfounding…
I can find more occurrences of “calls to shoot republicans” in some shape or form online that any other type of threat. That’s a fact. It’s unfortunate that so many see a need to resort to violence but to insinuate it occurs at a higher frequency on the right is so ignorant - its baffling,

Lol, A good chunk of Americans will line up to smell his diaper.
The only saving grace is that they tapped Trump a decade too late to have him seize a third time.

This is 100% revenge for the callousness from Dems after Charlie Kirk murder. It’s wrong, but society chooses to relearn old lessons it seems.
