It wouldn’t be so worrisome if they weren’t prepared to resort to deadly violence. They have already done it. The will do it again and again unless they are effectively stopped.
I feel like I should know this, but why August specifically? I first saw people thinking Biden would only stay in office a couple days → a few weeks. But does something happen in August?
This movement is gathering steam. Folk are making comparison to Hitlers rise.. and they are right to be worried. Different for sure, but the outcome is likely the same. America is on the cusp of losing any semblance of democracy.
Assault on Dr. Fauci turns even uglier as Don Jr. jokes about murder and Trump promises worse ahead
On Friday evening, Trump Jr. showed that he isn’t just expecting Dr. Fauci to be killed by the rabid Trump supporters being pushed to believe that a man who has lived his life in service to both medicine and the nation is some kind of monster. No, Junior is ready to celebrate that murder. In an Instagram post, Trump Jr. posted an image saying “I’m just going to jump ahead on this, and said I don’t think Fauci killed himself.” Those words were pasted over a smiling image of the odious and sadistic slave owner Calvin Candie from the film Django Unchained.
Sen. Rand Paul started the latest edition of the smear train on Thursday when he issued a fundraising pitch insisting that Fauci “must go” and claiming that Fauci—who was forced to correct Paul over and over in Senate hearings—was “continuously and deliberately misleading the public at every turn.” He provided no examples, but insisted that someone must “fire Fauci!”
I have wondered whether johnhbagget is really a denizen of the Quniverse or a Russian Troll. I don’t have a particularly high opinion of the average human in some ways, but also have a very difficult time believing anybody could be stupid/ignorant/gullible enough to believe that story.
And it was GOP members of Congress who made the comments in the above cartoon. So why is it that all we hear from that Parties leadership is crickets. Not shutting them down, not even saying anything. Is the GOP doing/saying nothing because those office holders are all big fans of Trump? Or is cray cray tnow the default setting to be a member of the new Republican/Qanon Party
It now appears that you must be totally cray cray to be a member in good standing of the current iteration of the Republican Party
I’ve never had much use for any of the political parties and have lived long enough to watch them change dramatically and even flip positions, but what has happened to the GOP is both very sad and scary. It went from establishment/conservative/corporate to revolutionary/regressive/theo-fascist. Started down that road with Nixon, accelerated under Reagan, turned nasty with Gingrich, and coalesced and came out in the open with Trump, Pence, and McConnell. I don’t think it’s salvageable and wonder what’s going to happen, since we need a rational counter to the democrats and I don’t see one.

They should be disbanded as a party since they are against allowing people’s votes to be counted.

Note that johnbagget’s comments are ALWAYS worded exactly the same, which means they are coming from a server farm somewhere outside Moscow…
