In reply to the discussion: Online death threats against Biden after speech [View all]Novara
(6,115 posts)7. We have GOT to stop being intimidated by these motherfuckers
Bidens remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counterterrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would only inflame an already volatile threat environment.
Tough shit. Fuck around and find out, would you?
I'm getting to the point where fine, let's antagonize them. Let's dare them to come to Washington fully loaded. This is Biden's America. They're not going to be met with a purposefully watered-down Capitol police force that can't keep up. They will be met with the National Guard. So yeah, let's dare them to fuck around and find out.
Maybe putting down these assholes in a massive show of force will make them think twice about threatening "civil war" next time.
And I surely hope the secret service is following up on death threats to the president like they're supposed to. I remember when I was a kid, we were told never to even joke about killing the president because secret service would find out and give us a visit. That may have been hyperbole back then, but we've got to start pushing back on death threats because they've become way too commonplace. We've been allowing these motherfuckers to intimidate us. I am sick of it.

So I guess the President should keep his mouth closed so as not to inflame a bunch

Notice the officals didn't make any warning to the fascist, just a veiled warning to us to not

The best way to get rid of an infection is to rip the scab off to clean the pus out.
