2. "Bombed" ? Really? F* that. eom

[Pachamama]

3. This is how the fascists and in the case of the Nazi's with their Schutzstaffel and Brownshirts were

....able to scare and threaten people in Germany and eventually control and take power and kill democracy there.

Pay attention folks and my message to true Conservatives who are members of the GOP and have a memory and integrity: Don't play along with this and fight it and fight back and speak the truth. Go study the rise of the Nazis and Hitler and pay close attention of how it happened and the government officials who went along and enabled it, only to deeply regret it later and having played a key role in the downfall and shame of their nation.

Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen is a case study in this kind of cowardice, exactly and precisely. He thought he could outsmart Hitler and ended up getting played and disgracing himself. Now he lives in infamy. He's Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and Ron Johnson, and every damned one of the GOP.

I sincerely wish people would dust off their Third Reich histories. The playbook is right there, every stage of it.

21. here and now it's the rw radio - and in pa 14 limbaugh stations depend on 3 pa unis

Penn St. 11, Pittsburgh 2, Temple 1- support 14 limbaugh stations by broadcasting sports on them

limbaugh continuously lies about stolen elections etc and the local blowhards at those stations will mostly repeat that shit, or maybe ignore it if they feel brave

all the advertisers, universities, and pro sports teams that use rw radio stations share responsibility for the entire trump disaster

6. I am trying, very hard, to muster any sympathy for the people who enabled this monster and

his insane loyalists.

[whopis01]

7. You should at least to try to have the same amount of sympathy for them as they would for you.

That only seems fair.

[niyad]

9. You are, of course, quite correct.

[KS Toronado]

10. LOL, you mean 0%

[calimary]

13. And it is indeed a VERY trying experience.

I’m trying to understand these people. And I can’t get there. I get stalled at the “you break it, you bought it” point.

Or, perhaps it could be said of these lost souls: “you knew he was a snake before you took him in.”

[KS Toronado]

8. Republicans threatening to attack republicans? Go for it, more power to 'em

donnie is splitting their party, good for him.

[Freedomofspeech]

11. I despise that woman...

She has been our rep for years. She held a huge maskless party a few months ago...she thinks she is the most attractive and brilliant woman ever.
She was in line in front of us at Giant Eagle a few years ago...the song Brickhouse started playing and she broke out in a dance for all us....it was ridiculous.

[Hekate]

27. Sorry I don't have time for a long reply just now, but you need to look up "stochastic terrorism"

Also, check where serious researchers say our biggest threat right now is white nationalism.

[LudwigPastorius]

28. "Do you think they really would though?"

The Arizona Republican Party has been asking on twitter (on since deleted tweets) whether its supporters are willing to die to overturn the election.

[Marcuse]

14. Not exactly Schutzstaffel versus Sturmabteilung - just yet.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. They are watching the same shitshow we are all watching.

She is a typical RepubliCON politician......they are all chicken shits, down to the bone.
They have zero integrity, morals, honor for doing what is right.......
They are egomaniacal assholes that are only doing what is best for them, and fuck the people they supposedly represent

If they were in any way decent people, they would just quit the Party that delivered Trump to the presidency.
Next fucking surprise statement from the RNC will be that the DEMOCRAT Voters corruptly installed him as president in 2016 to fuck up the Republican Party....NOT LOL......(And there are 70 million microcephalic Trump Humpers that will believe it.....)

[bucolic_frolic]

16. What surprises me is a strategy that thought courts would bend to this nonsense

Maybe working the court system with endless lawsuits and fringe legal positions works for overturning building and environmental regulations in big city development projects, but it always was a serious miscalculation to think it would play in the nation's most historic, treasured, and vital foundation political principles. It was just bunk from the get go.

I don't say all or most MAGAts are prone to violence. This state Senator is worried about a few dozen groups of activists and who knows if any might go over the line. It's meant to get her attention, and it did, and who knows what's behind it, principles or money.

17. Thugs, goons, misfits, freaks, wackos, extremists, traitors...

And wrap it all up with bow they call their "American Values."

18. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Republican is synonymous with Gestapo and Authoritarianism. FOREVER!

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. It seemed pretty crazy when even pretty hard right (for the time) GOPers were being primaried.

Which of course dragged the party to the right with a hell of a yank, more than a gradual shift.
They've gone from a fear of voter idiocy to a fear for their very lives.

Kinda serves them right, but it is a singularly unnerving thing to watch.

[rickyhall]

22. What's that old saying? "You made your bed, now you gotta lie in it."

[58Sunliner]

23. I appreciate that there are crazies, but she needs a spine. Bombing??

That would be an anomaly. Report threats to the authorities. Funny that libs have been threatened for years and now she wants to wake up??

[Initech]

24. And then there was that guy yesterday in Arizona who said this:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142644033

That escalated quickly.

[herding cats]

25. They're scared to stand up to the bullies? That's their defense?

If these elected leaders cannot stand the heat from doing what's right and lawful, they need to get out of the proverbial kitchen posthaste. If not, I'm completely certain they'll be experiencing more of the same in the future. Once a bully, especially lunatics like these, know they can intimidate you and get their way, they'll never stop.

29. Cowards,all of them

Republicans have no conscience or guilt sending men to probable harm or death for "democracy" but if it is their precious possessions or life, well, not me!
They would rather destroy America than put themselves in the same danger they so cravenly send men to die.
She and they need to be reminded how hypocritical and cowardly they all are.

And it seems her enemies aren't foreign, but her own base.

What a piece of shut she is and ANYONE who supports her or any Republican!

[Delmette2.0]

30. What does she think it will be like in 4 years if she opens the flood gates?

If by any small chance Dipshit changes the EC then we will be a dictatorship. She needs to think of all the soldiers and civilians who died keeping democracy alive. Step up and call their bluff. Get extra security at your home until 1/20/2021. You are a woman ( Listen to the song I am Woman) elected by your citizens to protect them, not just yourself.

@JohnFetterman
Leader Ward was just recently elevated to the 2nd most powerful member of our Senate.

This is a *remarkable* quote from today’s NYT and speaks to what I’ve said how *intense and unprecedented* it is to acknowledge the truth as a Republican.

Credit to her for speaking out.

32. So I wonder what role...

Betsy's brother is playing in this terrorism game. I think he's the head of isis so I also suspect he's working under the radar to make the fascist dream come true even down the road long after shitneck the orange is gone.

[Crash2Parties]

33. Radical, or simply dishonest & greedy?

[BrightKnight]

34. It will get more uncomfortable if the coup succeeds. nt

37. They're reaping what they've sown for decades.
