(46,918 posts)MTG is very dangerous and is certainly quite capable of having people killed who stand in her way.
She wants to be POTUS.

(5,153 posts)If you can't yell fire in a theater, then how are these scumbags getting away with threatening and inciting others to do the work. Manson went to prison for this.

(46,918 posts)We know that MOCs were part of the 1/6 planning process.
The J6 committee went after Trump but did not mention the other elected officials involved.
We are afraid to touch elected GOP officials, even when they are guilty of treason.

(5,153 posts)After 1/6 even Republicons were running away from trump and his Congress enablers, then the rewrite history began with it wasn't violent, it was Antifa, or it was the Democrats fault for some reason. We need justice for our Democracy, and if that means 140 Republicans in Congress go to prison for a failed coup, then that's what it is.

(2,187 posts)If elected, they will increase their shredding of the rule of law and they will still come after us with even more hatred.
Their is no possibility appeasing them. There never was.

to understand the mechanism. As long as we keep calling the terrorists lone wolves, we blind ourselves to the ways in which they are not acting alone, and blind ourselves to the ways in which they are activated.

(46,918 posts)Nothing new about this at all.
And yes it is a clever way to feign innocence.
Of course there are psychopaths who go the other way with it.
They use a signature killing style, like a calling card at the murder scene.
They want the world to know who they are.
Like serial killers do
Like Putin does.

(70,490 posts)Big protest in D.C. on January 6th, Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting
the day. Be there, will be wild!

Trump should have been arrested on the evening of 1/6/21 or the morning of 1/7/21 for that violent attempted
coup.
And on 1/4/21 the morning blond on Fox and Fiends said, "Well lots of people still have questions about the election."
(I just saw her when I was channel surfing from MSNBC ch 53 up to TWC ch 62 Fox is ch 55) Now, I know she didn't
write that but she and her network were both knowingly spreading a lie about the President Biden's election.

There's documented proof that the White House was in contact with the oath keeper's, and the proud boys.
For all we know, he has mass shooters on speed dial🤷🏾?♀️

Whether one believes it is associated with what happened to Gabby Giffords afterwards or not is irrelevant. The PAC named for Caribou Barbie put that out in 2010 and Palin endorsed AZ-1 teabagger candidate Gosar (who ultimately flipped the (D) seat held by Kirkpatrick).
The issue is the rhetoric that was front and center that has and continues to be used to tap into and trigger often uncontrolled primal violent emotions of some who are mentally unstable.

(25,962 posts)There is no excuse for this behavior, and the people who do it know exactly what they are doing. It's the reason why they do it. They fall back on BS like "but we had no idea someone would take it that way" every time.

(9,760 posts)I knew his election would lead to all of the horrors it has led to and more. I fear too many still don't see the truth and the Rs will take over Congress.
Candidates spewing straight up Hitler hate are tied with or leading against their Dem opponents. We are living in a nightmare.
