Leave Trump Alone or Else!
 
For Trump and his supporters, the price of social peace will essentially be a grant of absolute impunity to Trump on multiple fronts.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...udge-reinhart/

House Oversight Committee leaders are demanding social media companies take “immediate action” to address a flood of violent online threats against law enforcement, following the FBI’s search of former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/techn...w-enforcement/

Add to this the number of MAGA politicians, talking heads and social media influencers advocating violence against the FBI, DOJ, witnesses and judges who are involved in investigating Trump for his myriad crimes. It getting to the point where not only are Trump and his family a criminal organization, but most of the GOP and wingnut media is fully on board with it.

Disgusted with everyone wallowing in his feces to get his stench on them.
There should be a graphic for this.

We will have troubles. Somewhere between occasional terrorism/riots and going full Northern Ireland.

Lets look at this from the perspective of a Trumper.

They have been told Trump won the election, election was stolen, Trump will be reinstated and President Biden is an illegitimate occupant of the WH. Unfortunately they believe all of this to be true, though none is, nor do they understand why Trump is not in the WH.

So we have an irate cult who believes its their patriotic duty fight for Trump. AR-15s makes them mighty warriors though none are trained fighters and they will drop their guns and run for life if ever challenged by real forces.

And a lot of them are going to die fighting. AG Garland rightly has lit the fuse, now its a matter of how big the explosion will be after the affidavit is released. Trump brigade running for offices will be adding copious amounts of fuel to the ire too.

MAGA is nothing but a crime syndicate animated by a Trumpian revenge fantasy.

Trump, 2016: "I am the law and order candidate."

Trump, 2020: "I am your president of law and order."

Trump, 2022: "The law enforcement of our Country has become that of a Third World Nation."

Oerets 08-19-2022 06:18 PM

I was told last weekend by a Trumper, "they have the guns and are going to use them if Trump gets arrested!"


Proud of this statement too!


Funny how now the way they are looking at this country,

It is a Republic not a Democracy... Funny just how it matches up with Republican :rolleyes: Democrat..... Like the true country and Constitution is a Republic and Democracy is a bad thing. Never was the intent of the framers from what I have hearing.

In any other country, an inveterate liar like Trump who called his own social media "Truth Social" would have been laughed out of town like they laughed at Trump at the UN after his speech.

Yet here we are with the media reporting every one of his words like its "Truth". Truly disgusting to have to read any of his tirades.

After all, he encouraged people he knew to be armed to march on the Capitol.

And there's this nugget from his 2016 campaign.

Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”


Implicit threats of violence against his political opponents has always been a part of Trumpism. It's now gotten explicit.

When people are driven by fantasies, by resentment, by an internalized sense of inferiority, there is no redemption in anything. Winning elections, burning effigies, even shooting at other citizens does not soothe their anger but instead deepens the spiritual and moral void that haunts them.

An interesting piece from Tom Nichols

On a lonely street in Palm Beach FL, outside of a club they'll never be admitted to, containing such opulace they'll never see they parade up and down, day and night , shouting and screaming, holding their banners high
... and are being watched...
