…when you fantasize openly about assassination attempts, about reaping whirlwinds, holding up bloody heads, all of it. When you declare that if somebody wins it’s ’the end of democracy’ because the winner is ‘literally Hitler’.

Time for the left to grow up and knock this off. First off, your democrat leaders don’t believe it and never did:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/progressives-enraged...

"I've had top Democrats say to me, basically, say something like, ‘I don’t know why all these Democrats who think Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy are acting the way they are. But the reason I'm acting the way I am is because I don't think that,'" Klein continued.

"Who the f--- is this?" an angered Miller exclaimed. "Out your sources, Ezra!"

"I find it maddening, but I do find it consistent," Klein responded.

Klein later told Miller, "I think you have to at some point say, whatever these Democrats are saying in public, they're more resigned and more willing to just be the resistance to a Trump presidency than a lot of their public-facing rhetoric would suggest."

"You have a calm voice, but you're skyrocketing my f---ing blood pressure right now," Miller said. "Ezra, I'm just, like, so f---ing mad."


The democrats know they can file up their base of crazies anytime they need some energy. They’re certainly not doing it with outstanding governance.

And this is what happens. Let it be noted that This isn’t the first time. By my count this makes 3.

Steve Scalise.
The guy arrested at Justice Kavanaugh’s house.
And now this.

No more.

Dope1: …when you fantasize openly about assassination attempts, about reaping whirlwinds, holding up bloody heads, all of it.

What lovely projection.

ABC News did an analysis back in May of 2020 of individuals spurred to violence by Donald Trump and identified at least 54, such as:

Aug. 19, 2015: In Boston, after he and his brother beat a sleeping homeless man of Mexican descent with a metal pole, Steven Leader, 30, told police "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported." The victim, however, was not in the United States illegally.

Dec. 5, 2015: After Penn State University student Nicholas Tavella, 19, was charged with "ethnic intimidation" and other crimes for threatening to "put a bullet" in a young Indian man on campus, his attorney argued in court that Tavella was just motivated by "a love of country," not "hate." "Donald Trump is running for President of the United States saying that, 'We've got to check people out more closely.'"

April 28, 2016: When FBI agents arrested 61-year-old John Martin Roos in White City, Oregon, for threatening federal officials, including then-President Barack Obama, they found several pipe bombs and guns in his home. In the three months before his arrest, Roos posted at least 34 messages to Twitter about Trump, repeatedly threatening African Americans, Muslims, Mexican immigrants and the "liberal media," and in court documents, prosecutors noted that the avowed Trump supporter posted this threatening message to Facebook a month earlier: "The establishment is trying to steal the election from Trump. ... Obama is already on a kill list ... Your [name] can be there too."

June 3, 2016: After 54-year-old Henry Slapnik attacked his African-American neighbors with a knife in Cleveland, he told police "Donald Trump will fix them because they are scared of Donald Trump."

Complete list (and Jeebus, this is four years old): https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/blame-abc-news-fin...

Just sit down. And be quiet.
You’ve wanted something like this since Bush43. Well, now you got it.

I used to ask “people” like you to tone it down and got a middle finger in return. We know where you stand.

Good advice that you should follow.

Your crocodile tears don’t become you.

Perhaps you’re unaware of of a few incidents.

Your first 2 links are broken, the 3rd is a Vox opinion piece.
Your political party tried to revoke Trump’s Secret Service protection.

You can join ChatNPC over on the side there *points overs there*. I’ve left a roll of duct tape for you.

Here are the first 2 links again.

The Vox piece includes a long list of Trump’s violent rhetoric. Actual dates and quotes. You know, facts.

You can whine and complain and try to play the victim, but your response obviously demonstrates that you are unable to rationalize your ignorance about Trump’s long history of violent rhetoric.

Violence, and violent rhetoric needs to stop.

Jonathan Turley also has a roll of Shut Up for you:

https://jonathanturley.org/2024/07/14/the-attempte...

That includes claims that Trump was set to kill democracy, unleash “death squads” and make homosexuals and reporters “disappear.”

President Biden has stoked this rage rhetoric. In 2022, Biden held his controversial speech before Independence Hall where he denounced Trump supporters as enemies of the people. Biden recently referenced the speech and has embraced the claims that this could be our last democratic election.

I discuss this rage rhetoric in my new book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.” We are living through an age of rage. It is not our first, but it may be the most dangerous such period in our history.

Some of us have been objecting for years that this rage rhetoric is a dangerous political pitch for the nation. While most people reject the hyperbolic claims, others take it as true. They believe that homosexuals are going to be “disappeared” as claimed on ABC’s “The View” or that the Trump “death squads” are now green lighted by a conservative Supreme Court, as claimed by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.


You don’t want the truth. The truth is that you people have been leading us to this moment since the year 2000. Its time to stop.

More from JT:

For months, people have heard politicians and press call Trump “Hitler” and the GOP a Nazi movement. Some compared stopping Trump to stopping Hitler in 1933. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) declared Trump “is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.” He later apologized.

Others say that Trump “will destroy the world” unless he is stopped.

I do not believe that the politicians or pundits engaging in what my book calls “rage rhetoric” want actual violence. But they have knowingly created conditions for extremist views and, yes, extremist actions.

Jonathan Turley also has a roll of Shut Up for you:

Sorry to disappoint you, but I will not shut up.

For every example you bring up, we have 10 examples from your side. And that’s just from Trump.

Your refusal to acknowledge facts, does not remove your complicity.

Your refusal to acknowledge the truth, belies your fake righteous indignation.

Your bullying tactics do not intimidate me.

Damn Dope, if you could have just got AW to capitulate, our side would have prevailed, now I fear we may be doomed. I give you credit for trying though. <salute>

The truth is the right doesn't like being held accountable for surging gun violence, elimination of civil rights, election tampering, anti-science stupidity.. and finally UNITING BEHIND A RAPIST/FRAUD/PATHOLOGICAL LIAR?

They want the sane world to turn a blind eye to their alt-facts crap.

Nah gah do it.

What an arrogant juvenile response. The fact is that the American right is very violent, and so far we've been lucky on the execution of their ideas.

Every accusation by a Republican is also a confession.

They’re going to keep their priests busy listening to all the confessions. How fast can you knock out a few “Hail Marys” and “Our Fathers”?

Dope, You realize that literally everyone here can see what a joke you are. You literally ignore all of Trump's calls for violence.

Willful ignorance is not a legitimate form of argument no matter how much you keep trying it.

Wake the eff up and realize that America has too many guns and allows crazy people to access them very easily. The reason this happens is because of a-holes like you who keep trying to justify it. I know that you don't like to acknowledge the blood on your hands, but you are complicit.

Leave Dope (and Britney Spears) alone. This board would have half the traffic without him.
