Opinion: Republicans are siding with the angry mob

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans in Congress have seen the threat of mob violence, and they are going to do something about it.

They’re going to defend the mob, and make sure law enforcement doesn’t crack down too hard on it.

That’s the clear message being sent from up and down the right — politicians, pundits, and conservative media — in response to a memorandum from the Department of Justice laying out an effort to address the rising tide of angry threats directed at school boards and education officials.

The memorandum itself may have been restrained to the point of banality (we’ll get to that in a moment), but it presented a perfect opportunity for Republicans to reemphasize to their supporters that 1) the Biden administration is tyrannical; 2) conservatives are oppressed and afflicted; and 3) mob intimidation is an appropriate response to any public policy they disagree with.

1. They want to withdraw their students from the public schools.

And they want to take their tax money with them when they do.

Unfortunately for them, it doesn't work that way.

2. The GOP intentionally fed, and nurtured, and grew the angry mob over 3 decades.

Now they intend to ride that mob back to power in Congress and the Oval Office. It is a proxy war fought in public using propaganda of the worst kind to create false rage. The Mighty ANGRY Mob is what the GOP is counting on. The modern update of the fascist 30's Brown Shirts who will be tossed into the nearest pit once the next New Reich rises to power.
