I keep having thoughts and fantasies of violent revenge on Republicans.

[Le Gaucher]

I know I will never act on it.

I don't own a gun and never will.. I wont contribute one cent of profit to the subhuman pieces of shit.

But the way Republicans subvert human justice burns me up. They have found a way to put private profit above social good in everything from environment to social insurance to education despite the fact the we are the Majority.

I do not want waste my time and energy thinking about those evil scum.. But the anger in my mind gets hard to bear at times..


I have often laughed at the 'impotent rage' of people who were raging in anger about Obama. So maybe its karmic justice that I go through the same thing.

[smirkymonkey]

1. You aren't the only one. Like you, I am not a violent person and I abhor guns.

But I have many fantasies about the demise of certain republicans which I find very cathartic.

[Le Gaucher]

2. Thank you.. I really needed to get that out and wanted validation that

I am not crazy

[Abouttime]

17. It's about to get real

Once we take the House next year and begin impeachment
A lot of tRump supporters are going down or going to jail when they can't accept reality.

[MichMary]

3. Your disclaimer aside,

the title alone of this post is extremely disturbing. And, if I were you, I would probably delete it.

[MFM008]

4. Why??

It is what it is.
This bunch is causing serious depression among people.
They are going to lose their benefits.
Some may die.
I hope all republicans drop dead.

[MichMary]

7. Depression is totally different

from violent thoughts and fantasies, especially in light of what happened last spring at the R baseball practice, and some of the public statements regarding the political leanings of the LV victims. Remember, long before either James Hodgkinson or Stephen Paddock picked up a gun, they more than likely had violent thoughts and fantasies. If this poster doesn't want some attention from law enforcement, it would be prudent to delete the post.

[treestar]

14. How is law enforcement going to find out

about this post, and what are they going to do about it?

[MichMary]

18. Seriously?

I believe there have been cases of Secret Service inquiries regarding posts here. Please don't forget: There are those on "the other side" *coughcavedwllers* who monitor this site, and who would have no qualms about alerting authorities about potential threats.

As to what could be done about it, I have no idea where the line is; I just know I don't want to get close to it.

[cwydro]

19. There is at least one DUer who had a visit from the SS due to a post here.

He posted about it in another thread. I won’t link to it, but this is a long time DUer, and I believe him.

I hate our current administration, but I don’t have violent fantasies about anything. Time will take its course.

Violence solves nothing.

[Stargazer99]

6. Why delete it? It is time the reality for many people are expressed

It is time to tell what destruction to other human beings is being carried out by conservative Republicans....
the post is an honest expression of their feeling which reflects much of the struggling Americans and certainly reflects mine. And I'll bet a vast amount of Americans feelings. By the time this idiot self centered president is finished I wonder how many people will die or wish to hell they had before it is over with.

[MichMary]

8. See my reply above

I can't believe I have to explain why admitting to violent thoughts and fantasies is a bad idea.

[Le Gaucher]

10. While I have a lot of anger.. It doesn't consume me.

I know the difference between a violent scene playing out in my head that I can totally control.. Versus real life.

What I would really like is Zero anger.

[Doreen]

27. Yeah right, us "thinking" violent thoughts why they "perform" violence.

I do not think you can get arrested for "thoughts" like you are supposed to for "actions."

[MichMary]

34. Seems to me,

that "they" aren't the only ones committing violent actions.

And, you may not be able to get arrested for "thoughts," but it could bring on some unwanted attention to this site and to this individual. Just sayin'. People have "thoughts" all the time that they would be well-advised to keep to themselves.

[treestar]

13. It says "fantasies"

[MichMary]

20. Yup.

I wonder if James Hodgkinson had "fantasies" about what he ended up actually doing.

Posting your fantasies on a message board is not a good idea, certainly not in the culture in which we live. Somethings are best kept to ourselves.

[TEB]

5. It is normal

As humans we want to screw those who screw us it is just natural

[shockey80]

9. You are not alone.

When people put your life and your families life in jeopardy it is normal to think about revenge. Its called survival.

[bluestarone]

11. i guess it's normal to

want to protect this country from foreign or domestic terror. And the repubs are definitely in the process of destroying our GREAT COUNTRY. No different from our great soldiers on deployment. They are fighting the same battle. only difference is foreign soil verses domestic soil!! Fighting the same DEVIL as i see it.

[ProudLib72]

12. I do too

So does just about everyone on DU. If someone says they never have a violent revenge fantasy, I'd say they were lying.

[cwydro]

23. Well, youre wrong at least on my account.

I have no violent revenge fantasies about ANYone.

Do you know “just about everyone on DU?”

Really, that kind of post makes us look stupid.

[Initech]

15. I too have had revenge fantasies. Only mine are non violent.

I want to see the billionaires who helped create this chaos go broke.

I want to see the gun nuts literally shoot themselves in the foot.

I want to see everyone on Fox News get caught in a sex scandal.

I want to see every fundamentalist pastor get caught in a gay sex scandal.

I want to see the oil industries' stocks tank.

I want to see every hedge fund billionaire like Martin Shkreli get arrested for fraudulent business practices.

I want to see Trump voters lose their voting privileges after being arrested for felonious crimes.

That's the kind of revenge I want to see.

[Madam45for2923]

16. I get the feeling but VIOLENCE means people stop using their minds.

VIOLENCE leaves behind people that are too young, old, sick, etc.

[mreilly]

21. Same here...

.... when I encounter sniggering trolls online spewing garbage talking points, ranting and raving about Hillary and/or Obama, and smugly repeating the babyish insults ("snowflake!&quot and excuses ("fake news! NUH UH! FAKE NEWS!&quot I just want to teleport to where they are and beat the living shit out of them with a 2x4. It's just a vision and one I would never act out (tough to teleport anywhere since the technology doesn't exist).

I'll stop short of ending their lives in this little vision which plays out in my head, but I very much do entertain notions of breaking their limbs and brusing their bodies with my 2x4 and sending them to the hospital for months of pain and therapy. After spitting in their faces.

That's how despicable and disgusting these "people" are, such that I feel even basic considerations of human interaction (my core principle is I won't commit violence except in self-defense or defense of others) are being eroded thanks to their dishonest, childish, evil behavior.

[cwydro]

25. Wow.

So these people are in control of your feelings, thoughts and actions?

I find that very sad.

[A Morpheus Felinae]

28. I think mreilly meant they 'elicit' these feelings

but I could be wrong. In any case they certainly elicit those feelings in me. And yes, it is sad.

[cwydro]

32. Perhaps you are right.

But I would think if another person can “elicit” violent feelings in one, one should look into oneself. And really do some self-exploring.

[mreilly]

35. Thank you, you are correct...

... and now that I think about it these "people" are most likely Russian bots, not actual people, and not worth getting upset over.

[snooper2]

45. Well, that isn't very Merrily of you

and a 2x4 isn't very creative. How about running over their legs with an old rusty gas powered tiller?

[MichMary]

22. Who are these Republicans

you are fantasizing about? The President? Members of Congress? Ordinary voters?

[Le Gaucher]

24. Sometimes it is Trump.. Sometimes it is the Kochs

Other times their enablers on the right wing media.

[PJMcK]

26. I'm with you!

Let's use our nukes!

[struggle4progress]

29. I keep having thoughts and fantasies that we will get off our butts and organize

[Doreen]

30. My FANTASY is for them to destroy themselves.

No help from me or anyone who feels as I do just watch them implode in on each other. Let them feel the pain of what they are forcing on those of us who have never hurt others to get what we want.

[kimbutgar]

31. I dream of martians from outer space zapping rethugs at one of their major gatherings

And the Koch Bros and Mercer’s and other odious rethug donors private jets being shot down with them on it with various rethug cretins on it. Fox cable channnel satellite being destroyed where they can no longer broadcast. Clear channel going bankrupt and shutting down their stations.

[gordianot]

33. I limit such thoughts to Republican relatives but do not bother with rage or revenge.

A few well placed words does the trick of removing them from our presence.

[cutroot]

36. They are trying to burn you out with constant frustration and anger.

It is a tipping point of madness. Do not let them live in your head rent free. Do your best to discover the truth and use that as your currency to step out of the door. If you react and waste your efforts or get angry and cause yourself to encounter legal difficulties, they win. Your vote is your most valuable tool. I felt the same way about nixon.

[jmg257]

37. Hmm...do your fantasies involve the use of guns to commit this violence?

They are prominently mentioned in your OP.

[Skittles]

38. sorry, no, you need therapy

I despise repukes but I would never wish them physical harm, NEVER

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

39. Take your anger to the polls next November.

And maybe to the local party headquarters in the months preceding next November.

Vote your anger.

[Fresh_Start]

40. My fantasies include all remaining trump supports being declared incompetent

and losing access to their beloved guns

[Wounded Bear]

41. You are not alone...

[roamer65]

42. Well...we know what RW nut jobs do in the past.

They commit GENOCIDE.

Nazi Germany.

I understand your feelings and so do millions of souls who perished in a world war.

[maveric]

43. I'm one for public shaming.

Laughing at them to show the world how really fucked up they are.

[lpbk2713]

44. They arouse rage and anger.

You should only be concerned if you are driven to act on your impulses.

[Amishman]

46. If you really have fantasies about mass murder please seek help

It is not normal or good. Please talk to someone and find an acceptable outlet.

[Le Gaucher]

47. Mass murder.. Heck no..

I would like to slap the bejesus outta Grover Don or throw him into a pit of fire ants.

[Le Gaucher]

48. Also

In my typical fantasy.. The person doing the hitting is usually a big and strong black or Latino guy working for CIA whose sight the asshole would really hate... This dude would have access to secret Whitehouse entry.

After beating him up.. He would pee all over Donald Trump..

Donald is very ashamed and can't admit this to anyone...


Sometimes instead of Donald.. I imagine it would be the creepy NRA dude or Rush Limbaugh
