Theyre also projecting. Just like pedophilia, its GOP politicians and evangelical pastors getting caught molesting children, not Democrats or drag queens.
Its the same with political violence. It was Trump who first called for his supporters to punch out protesters at his rallies, saying he would pay their legal fees.
Theyre the ones appearing in campaign ads with firearms, shooting at something or someone they oppose.
Theyre the ones demonizing Democratic politicians. That started with Newt Gingrich.
Their supporters are Nazis, the KKK, the Three Percenters , the Oath Keepers, the Boogaloo Boys, the Proud Boys, and the militias.
Its their supporters, waving Trump flags, who stormed the Capitol, assaulting police officers, spraying them with bear spray, hunting for Nancy Pelosi, and threatening to hang Mike Pence.
They want us to stop reminding voters of Jan 6 and Trumps role in that. Dont fall for it! It was a crime against American democracy and we should continue to rub their noses in it.

(52,720 posts)They're not going to get away with it. There is no reason for us to back off when a Republican shot a Republican because the Republican platform is making people insane and Republicans are all for giving crazy people the right to bear arms and act out on their aggression.
Quite frankly, when you look at it that way, WE are insane if we let them silence us.

(10,354 posts)Not surprising, since Donald John wants to be what Fulgencio Batista and Rafael Trujillo weredictators. Whenever the Soviets did something outrageous and western voices criticized them for it, they said it was anti-Soviet and harmed Detente.
Whenever progressives, moderates, and Democrats criticize Donald John, Republican shills, lickspittles and toadies claim that it raises political tensions.
No free rides to professional liars!
