1. He blamed the Potomac River plane crash on DEI. Also no evidence. Jake Tapper and the media never held him to account.

[Deuxcents]

2. There is no evidence to the accusations but some are saying we started "the war" and it's all our fault

Dangerous rhetoric while every Dem leader is trying to get them to tone it down

[surfered]

6. Newt Gringrich and Rush Limbaugh started the demonization

[spanone]

3. He said that yesterday in his 1st statement about Kirk.

4. Psychopaths love to blame their victims and other innocent people.

It is how they roll.

[patphil]

5. What radical left? There isn't any.

[ancianita]

9. You're still not getting it. It's so because he and his echo chamber henchmen say it's so.

Elon Musk posted to his 225 million followers, “The Left is the party of murder.”
2.
Laura Loomer: to her 1.7 million followers called for the Trump administration to “shut down, defund, & prosecute every single Leftist organization,”

6.
Jesse Watters, FOX News host claimed: “Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us.
And what are we going to do about it? How much political violence are we going to tolerate?” “This is a turning point. And we know which direction we are going.”
7.
Darryl Cooper, a far-right activist who posts and podcasts under the name “Martyr Made,” “Fascism is just the word used by freaks and degenerates when normal people realize that the Left won’t stop unless it’s forced to.”
8.
pastor Joel Webbon, a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist old his 51,000: “The Left will not stop until they are forced to. The Right must gain power, keep power, and wield power righteously. @realDonaldTrump, you have been appointed by Providence. You are commanded by Scripture to be a TERROR to those who do evil. Give them hell.”
9.
William Wolfe, another Christian nationalist “The. Left. Must. Be. Destroyed.” In a separate tweet, he wrote, “The Democrats and the Left must be crushed.

Wake up. THIS is what incitement to political violence is all about.

12. these people are all deranged lunatics and the good thing is most Americans don't listen to their bilge

[ancianita]

14. I don't understand how you can think that most Americans' ignoring them will make them go away.

It was ignoring the importance of election narratives that got us where we are now.

[LymphocyteLover]

20. I'm not saying to ignore what they say. I'm just saying most Americans don't pay attention to these lunatics

though obviously way too many people do listen to them.

[Wiz Imp]

13. How stupid do they think we are?

Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of the Federalist, “When Democrats lose elections they couldn’t steal, they murder the people they were unable to defeat.”

Has there been a single Republican politician murdered in this country in the past 10 years? That is murdered by anyone? I found a grand total of one. That was Eunice Dwumfour, a member of the borough council of Sayreville, New Jersey, was assassinated on February 1, 2023. The murderer was Rashid Ali Bynum, a resident of Portsmouth, Virginia, who was a former resident of Sayreville and had been a member of the Fire Congress Fellowship, a religious organization with offices near Sayreville that Dwumfour helped to lead. So he wasn't a Democrat who lost an election to her. The murder seemed to revolve around the religious organization they were both members of. The next most recent Republican politician to be murdered while in office was a Federal Judge way back in 1988.

There have been numerous Democrats murdered during that same time.

Christopher Rufo, who made a name opposing critical race theory, called for swift action. “The last time the radical Left orchestrated a wave of violence and terror, J. Edgar Hoover shut it all down within a few years,” he posted to his 832,000 followers on X. “It is time, within the confines of the law, to infiltrate, disrupt, arrest, and incarcerate all of those who are responsible for this chaos.”

Hoover was in his heyday in the 1960's when there were 5 major political assassinations. All those assassinated were on the left side of the political spectrum: John F. Kennedy, Malcom X., Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy & Medger Evers. Doesn't seem like it was the "left" orchestrating a wave of violence & terror, nor does it seem like Hoover shut it down.

15. "We" aren't their audience. There's an audience that do not trust science, trust liberals, trust their eyes.

Nor do they want to know, read, or learn the difference between facts and story.

[Crunchy Frog]

18. So this means they're going to what?

Carry out mass purges, mass arrests, show trials with executions? Will we wake up one morning and find that DU and Daily Kos are unreachable?

They've been chomping at the bit for this for decades, but our side never took it seriously.

This all feels very planned. These are not the spontaneous ravings of a bunch of crazies. It's highly coordinated and disciplined messaging.

God help all of us.

[ancianita]

19. Worth considering that in the next year or three, they're better directed and organized.

It's also presented to make us feel that it's planned, too.
That's part of the messaging, that what they're doing is INEVITABLE. But mental resistance is more important than being right about who they are and why they say/do what they say/do.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. No. tRump & the Cons think the wobbly middle of the electorate is really stupid. Almost as stupid as their base. . . .nt

[Ilsa]

8. The "tone it down" directive is for

everyone except Krasnov. He believes laws, rules and such are for chumps.

[LymphocyteLover]

10. that's all he ever says

[Tetrachloride]

11. also beware of a dem congressman on cnn this afternoon

[ancianita]

16. Who? Why?

[Tetrachloride]
