As the NPR link notes about Jan. 6

Democrats have pointed to one phrase in particular as they argue that Trump incited those present to march down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol.

And this phrase was Putin's puppet incitement call "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore,"

As I understand it, Trump mouthed Fight Fight Fight to the crazed MAGA crowd last Saturday after whatever in the fu*k happened in Pennsylvania.

And then RNC people chanted Fight Fight Fight at the RNC convention last night for Trump, while he sat there with some weird bandage on his ear.

All televised. Watched by crazed, angry MAGA assholes.

Inflaming these nuts all over again.

The republicans are a proven threat to National Security. (Hang Mike Pence! Find Nancy! Crush the capitol cop in the door!) WTF GOP

1. They don't want to tone down the rhetoric. If they did, they would say something like the Democratic Party.

Does not murder millions of babies every year like they have been saying for decades.

2. Blood: The Secret Service really screwed up allowing the photo op.

From Doris Lessing's "Prisons We Choose to Live Inside" ISBN: 0-06-039074-3
Page 13

This word "blood." It is always being used by leaders to raise our temperatures.
...
It is not too much to say that when the word "blood" is pronounced, this is a sign that reason is about to depart.
...
All this blood business of course goes back to ritual sacrifice, the thousands of years during which priests slit the throats of first humans, then animals to let blood flow out to please some savage deity.
...
When a leader invokes blood to arouse us to support him and his cause, it is a time for us to be on our guard

The secret service allowed a photo op showing crazed puppet with (supposedly) blood on his face. An image to arouse the already agitated, demented base.

Had they just covered him completely and whisked off to the car, nobody would have seen that. Instead they cowered and obeyed and allowed the mad man to wait wait.

3. Will the review of the Secret Service touch on human psychology?

That allowing images of blood stirs up something in the human brain that leads to unclear thinking? Makes already agitated angry men more stupider?

4. The Civil War never ended. Reconstruction ended.

The Gentlemen's Agricultural Society (GAS) wants its plantations back.

5. DANGER: Also makes the photo a potent political image

The photograph of a bloodied Donald Trump with his fist in the air and an American flag looming in the background is quickly emerging as the pivotal image of Saturday’s shooting, and it wouldn’t exist without a journalist who acted quickly and on a hunch.

“It captures a range of complex details and emotions in one still image — the defiantly raised fist, the blood, the agents clamoring to push Trump off stage and, most importantly, the flag. That’s what elevates the photo.”

“I think it will last and come to symbolize the time that we’re in,” said Ron Burnett, former president of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and an expert on images.

Vucci said that how the image is used in the public discourse is not for him to worry about. “The way I look at it is, I was present and I did my job,” said Vucci,

The time we're in, Mr. Burnett, is fraught. The republicans are actively trying to renew the civil war. Burnett marveled at Trump’s ability to seemingly be conscious of how it would all look.

Marvel away, sir.

Blood can cause humans to no longer be rational. The MAGAs were already not rational. This photo will further raise their dangerous temperature.

They're selling tshirts with this image. Echoes of blood!! You can wear it.

This is dangerous Mr. Vucci. To you even. To all of us. Dangerous to our discourse. Dangerous to our lives.
Piers Morgan can go jump in a lake.

I cannot understand why this threat to national security goes unchecked.

6. Can a psychologist call Ron Burnett and explain

to Mr. Burnett the links between ritual sacrifice, the use of blood and human psychology. And how that impacts reason and how "leaders" use it to raise the temperature of the public.

The contact information is on the web site of his workplace.
