(58,785 posts)political event that HE could control is itself extremely damning.
People who imagine Democrats could have done anything to persuade Moscow Mitch to pass gun control legislation through the senate should take a goood look at just what this says about him. And the rest of their leadership. It's clear they'll now do anything to keep power, and includes inciting RW extremist violence.
Notably, 94% of all domestic American terrorist attacks have been committed by non-Muslim RW extremists, the very kind of people Trump AND Mitch are inciting to violence against Democrats. (2% by Muslims, 2% by LW extremists.) These are federal figures and don't include hate crime perps that don't meet the definition of terrorism, but they're very indicative.
Btw, anyone listening to Fox? I saw one clip criticizing Trump, but any sign that they've actually joined him in trolling for violence yet? Beyond the typical fascistic Piro calls to take to the streets and storm congress and the courts.
