Opinion | Trump rallies are back — and just as dangerous
Trump's campaign rally reboot is more of a re-run, with the same messaging that got us here in the first place.

*snip*

A supporter at the June 26 rally in Ohio said that if Trump is not reinstated by August, "we're going to be in a civil war, because the militia will be taking over."

He doesn't appear to be alone in the view among some Trump supporters that violence to help Trump gain power is acceptable. A poll by Yahoo and YouGov in late May found that only 57 percent of Republicans now think the Jan. 6 attack was "unjustified" — down by 14 points since January.

It's terrifying that as we get further from Jan. 6, a growing number of Republicans don't see the attack as unjustified. Equally terrifying is that Trump's rhetoric hasn't changed since before Jan. 6, when his own words helped incite the onslaught of "domestic terrorism," as the FBI has defined it.

I desperately wish we could ignore the disgraced former president. But we can't, because, as we saw specifically from his recent Ohio rally, he's repeating the identical lies about "election fraud" that radicalized his supporters in the first place.

1. This is why all those spoke at the rally should have been arrested

especially Trump... their has been no punishment for these traitors

2. Trump rallies are back -- and just as stupid

*fixed

3. Don't ignore him...

Arrest his ass for inciting insurrection.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Yes, you CAN ignore him, but you wont.

[Grasswire2]

5. He and they won't stop until they are made to feel significant pain.

When does that begin?

To let it slide is to risk the republic.

[SWBTATTReg]

6. Hey, at least media coverage of this twit's tweets and statements aren't near what they were

when he was pres. in name only, and as each month flies by, it gets less and less.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

7. These are super spreader events

[UCmeNdc]

8. Trump never gives up!

Trump will try to come to power once again, and if successful, this time stay in power.

[DemocraticPatriot]

10. In such an instance, there won't be enough kevlar

to go around...

[DemocraticPatriot]

9. My bet is on the forces of law enforcement,

and military, should that become necessary...


These guys are idiotic romantics, when it comes to the idea of making some kind of "revolutionary stand" with all of their 'small arms".....

One should bear in mind how much all of the elected Republican office-holders have been of the "chicken-hawk" mold...

They can "talk the talk", but when it comes to walking the walk, there are not enough crutches to go around...

The first M1 tank that makes the scene, and they will run like hell. Even the "patriots" in Philadelphia could not hold their ground against an unarmed crowd of dissenters..lol


I do think a lot of Republican office-holders should be forced to spend funds to defend themselves against charges brought by the justice department, based on whatever laws of which can be directed against them. "Sedition"? Amen!

11. God, I hate that ugly face!

I just want him to go away forever. I hate him so much!

[Kaleva]

12. They vowed to hit the streets if Trump didn't win on election day. They didn't.

Despite there being several million Trump voters who live within a day's drive from Washington D.C., only a small percentage of that number was at the 1/6 protest. And of those who showed up at the protest, it was a small percentage who went on to the Capitol.

Also on 1/6, the percentage of Michigan Trump voters who bothered to attend the protest held at the state capital was in the single digits.

It's easy for people to boast and talk but very few are willing to take it to the next level.
