Conservatives have started this new hypocritical BS train all about how violent and mob-like the left are. Meanwhile, Il Douche holds his pro-wrestling style rallies where he tells people to assault dissidents and he’ll pay their legal fees.
They seem to start out smiling and happy at those rallies of Herr Trump. Then they do gradually morph into the faces we see in today’s Jim Morin comic. There are monochrome films of Adolf Hitler’s rallies. Quite a bit more organized, but have a look some time, and listen to the words (in translation if you do not speak German). The appeal to the base hate is what it’s all about, along with selecting objects of hate for the masses to feed on. Quite the opposite of what an American leader is supposed to do.
The right wing has cut funding and otherwise tampered with education. They have cast educators as greedy and incompetent, while those educators struggle to do the best they can. I suspect that many of the people in the cartoon are people who do not respect educators and education, have not gotten a good education, and are not interested in learning now.
The moneyed elites have shipped jobs overseas. In some cases this was to stay competitive. In others, it was just greed.
So the people depicted in the cartoon are upset. They see themselves as being left behind, their future at risk.
The Trumpublicans, rather than building a good future for all Americans, decide to give most of the money to the 1% and loot the country’s assets. In order to do this, they need distractions. It’s what the Roman leaders called ‘bread and circuses’. In this case, give the masses as small tax break, and rallies.
Tell the masses that they have enemies. Focus them on the press, educators, Democrats, Progressives, people with black or brown skins — anyone but the people who are really causing or exacerbating the problems.
We need to organize, register voters, and we need to vote. We need to show the masses supporting the Trumpublicans that we are fellow Americans, and that there is a way to a better life for them than the lies, deceptions, and anti-American swill being fed to them by Trump and his cronies.
Trumpublicans — the party of projection. We all know who needs to be locked up, which is the angry mob, which side rigs elections, which Supreme Court nominee has truly been treated unfairly, and which party, if left in power, will destroy any hopes for a good future for this very mob of sheeple.
Aside from the mirror syndrome, it’s part of the cockroach attack. Democrats are “environmental extremists”, “socialists” (like that’s a bad thing), “libruls”, radical, violent, “demon rats”, they want to take all your money that you worked so hard for, they want to destroy the borders and invite in all them “illegal” immigrants, etc., etc.
And we know what happened in Rwanda following the opening salvo of government radio stations calling Tutsis “cockroaches”.
Il Douche should be very pleased with himself. It seems he has accomplished what he set out to do. The country hasn’t been this divided since the Civil War.
Germany, 1933, “Gott mit Uns”, and turning government over to Corporate control (Krupp and Bayer instead of Koch and well, Bayer) yes people oppressed by the Versailles treaty, building hate and a “stronger” miitary machine. Hmm environmental laws that cost profits and limit corporate power, and the need to spend more than the next 12 largest military spenders in the world. Perceived threats, trumped up to infuriate an ignorant populace, yep, we’re there again.
You make it sound like enjoying the advantage of being white and male and living in a society that considers anyone who isn’t white and male inferior is a stupid attitude. Is it? When you know that you were born with those advantages to a family who had managed to cling onto middle class status for as long as anyone remembers, but never did any better, why would you want to deal with a situation where you and people like you are no longer born on second base. Sure, you know that it’s unfair, somewhere deep down. That’s why you have to disparage those brown, black and female people— anyone who has been on the other side of that advantage for the entire history of this country. Obviously, they have to have something wrong with them, that’s the only possible excuse for maintaining your advantage. The hate that these people show is the product of a deep, and quite reasonable fear.
Ah, the ol’ moral equivalence argument. Between the two major parties, it’s apparent which party is ‘The Party of #MobRule’, the party of calls for political violence, of harassment, of screaming, of fascist Antifa, of attempted assassination, of knife attacks, of assaulting conservatives – Demwitocrats.

Crooked liar Trump, who should be jailed, has been calling for Hillary to be jailed for years and now Feinstein.
Hillary complains and all of a sudden Dems are called rude and a paid mob.
Vote out every disgusting undemocratic fascist moron Republican next month.

Isn’t it a sociopathic symptom to accuse others of the antisocial behavior that is manifesting in oneself? “I’m not angry. It’s you who is angry.”

Still waiting for the footage of conservative mobs assaulting people, tearing down statues, burning cars, harassing old people.

Contrast this with Mike Lester’s take on mobs. It’s all the democrats fault as always.
