Sean Hannity threatened Taylor Swift on-air: "Think twice."

How very NAZI, the hate. The implied violence. The mob makes right.



Hannity: Taylor Swift should ‘think twice’ about Biden endorsement

Dominick Mastrangelo
The Hill, January 31, 2024

Excerpt…

Hannity accused Swift of hating on Republicans.

“Or maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic. And Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water, and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions,” he said. “If she believes all that, she is believing a lie. Because those talking points are simply untrue.”

“Now, I’m just saying, maybe she wants to think twice before making a decision about 2024,” he added.

Because she has a following, the fascist traitors are afraid of Taylor Swift.

And Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water, and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions"

Kind of like saying "Get your hands off me" is more powerful than saying "Do not touch me". The handsy person selectively hears "touch me".

It doesn't matter how Sean prefaced his statement. The earworm is "they are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic."

I think this is a threat. I think Trump is making careful note of anyone who dares to criticize him. Sounds to me like they have a list of "enemies of the state" who will be taken care of once Trump is back in office. truly alarming...

“I am your retribution,” Trump promised his supporters at a Waco, Texas, rally in March. When Fox News host Sean Hannity asked earlier this month if he would abuse his power to punish his political enemies, Trump said he wouldn’t be a dictator “except for day one.”



Trump shares word cloud linking potential second term with ‘revenge’ and ‘dictatorship’

By Joseph Konig Nationwide
NY1, Dec. 27, 2023

EXCERPT...

The Biden campaign said in a statement that the 2024 GOP frontrunner “poses an existential threat to American democracy and freedom.” The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment on what message Trump was trying to convey by posting the image.

The poll, conducted by the British firm J.L. Partners for the Daily Mail tabloid, asked 984 likely general election voters to say one word to describe what President Joe Biden and Donald Trump “most wants to achieve from a second term.” The most common phrase for Biden was “nothing,” followed by “economy,” according to the poll.

For Trump, “revenge” topped the list, followed by “power,” “economy” and “dictatorship.” “Dictator” was also a prominent choice in the word cloud graphic.

“I am your retribution,” Trump promised his supporters at a Waco, Texas, rally in March. When Fox News host Sean Hannity asked earlier this month if he would abuse his power to punish his political enemies, Trump said he wouldn’t be a dictator “except for day one.”

He’s also praised North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and autocratic Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, while quoting Russian President Vladimir Putin in an attempt to frame Biden as the true authoritarian in the race.

So far she seems to be the only one out there taking on the foes of democracy

by simply encouraging her fans to play an active role in determining the future of their OWN lives

via the basic Democratic principle of the VOTE.

Where are all the OTHER top name celebrities with massive followings who could do the same?

If they weren't just sitting back all quiet like, or too embroiled in pretty s-----?

Hannity tells truth through omission. Correctly stated-

“Or maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they are only racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic. The fact is conservatives and Republicans are happy to hate just about anyone at any time they run up against some perceived transgression setting a person apart. And maybe she bought into the lie that Republicans and conservatives only want dirty air and water, and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions,” he said. "Let's be straight," he said. "Air and water is trivial. We want to pollute you and our poison is in the food supply and in your blood like so many microplastic particles. And the abortion thing? Conservatives and Republicans don't just want to control the forced-birth to employment pipeline, we want to determine who gets pregnant and when they get pregnant. Conservatives and Republicans want it all."

“If she believes anything less than that, she doesn't know the half of our evil. Because that is how the cookie crumbles.”

Or face bad consequences. This is stochastic terrorism in pure form, as Hannity reminds his MAGA minions to "do what needs to be done" in the event that Taylor Swift decides to exercise her Constitutional rights.

All those things coalesce around the central position of hate that drives the Republican party base.
