But this type of projection scares me.

My gut instinct is to call this fucker out for the moron that his is, but it's naive to think his followers aren't hearing the message loud and clear. Two weeks ago Qusay Trump said that he didn't even view Democrats "as people", after the shooting in VA last week the left was demonized by the right...it probably even contributed to a small degree to Ossoff's loss because they made fucking commercials that suggested the attack was the result of the "radical left" and that people should take a stand against the left, and now these nutters like Jones are continuing to stoke the fires of violence.

We are facing the pentultimate result of this type of political discourse. The right has become more and more extreme to the point that violence against the left is the only solution left in their arsenal. We're not people, we're stoking civil war, we cause violence...ergo we're a threat that should be eradicated. That's the mindset of these nutters.

Sorry to be Debby Downer this am...but I think we dismiss this nonsense to our own peril.
