With 80+ percent of Republicans (Trump supporters) now saying the election was illegitimate and some now calling for the suspension of democracy and or violence... I think the smart thing to do is prepare for bloodshed. I doubt it becomes a civil war because there are no lines on the battlefield that can be drawn to seperate them from the rest of us who respect the laws and tenets of democracy. Wanting legal votes thrown out because your guy didn't win is pure autocracy. Calling for electors to vote against the wishes of the people is dictator-like autocracy. And with the threatening gun toting protestors, the intimidation of public figures on both sides of the aisle via threats, and the lunatic political calls for people to stand up for trump even if it costs your life... violence is coming.
My only hope is that it is contained and limited to a small incident, but I don't think we can stop it from happening at this point.

I hope some of these Gravy SEALs types start acting up. I’d love to see the National Guard show them that drinking Budweiser’s and eating sausages by the platter full at their buddy’s property while shooting their AK’s doesn’t make them trained for squat.
Making threats of violence IS NOT free speech. It's also not cute, it's illegal. And the right is full of Kool aid drinking muppets that think Trump is telling the truth.

That one story is just a small piece of all that is going on Eve and you know it unless you are living under a rock. Republican officials are calling for martial law and suspension of the Constitution to overthrow the duly elected President-elect. Mouth breathers are "protesting" with guns terrorizing children of and public officials across the country. Republicans that don't blindly follow Trump are being threatened. The AZ GOPers called for people to stand and be ready to die for Trump to "save the steal"... wth else do you need as proof of where this is headed?

You are detached from reality. Maybe go outside and see human beings. You believe clickbait articles and inflammatory tweets as truth. Get a grip on yourself. Any random lameo can make threats and you will believe it and start shaking in your boots.
I'm not going to dignify your tripe with any more responses. I'm out every day and this crap is showing up everywhere in measurable differences. When a group becomes as detached from reality as trump supporters and there are 70+ million of them who daily fall further from reality... we are headed for violence and bloodshed. Might be minimal and isolated, but it's coming unless Republican leaders put the kibosh on it.
Have a laugh, won't be the first time I've been 100% right about something that the trolls laugh at just to be proven correct. I put up with that for years from arch and 40... but in the end I was right even though the kool aid won't let them admit that. Trump is a coward and a crook who colluded with Russia. The evidence proves it all. There is no evidence that says different except in maga fools land.
She did that after racist threats and death threats. Very unbecoming and she deserved discipline for it. Only wish the GOPers would reciprocate by putting their own house in order... But NOPE, they seem to want the blood to flow before they get their people to chill out and TELL THEM THE TRUTH THAT TRUMP IS A LOSER.
I don't know how scared I'd be, but if you are making death threats then show up with guns, damn right I'm taking you seriously. And talking about scared, you were the one who ran out and started buying guns for protection when the protests and riots were going on nowhere near you.
I posted a comment on a stupid internet board, you spent cold hard cash and from the pics you posted, a good bit of it most likely... just saying that's crapping your pants in my book. But we all know you like to run your mouth on us to troll, so whatever.
Well, no. The actual reason I bought the guns is because my friend, who is a conservative, has been hardcore on my ass about it. Because he feels the liberals will make it harder to possess guns and ammo. Which is not false based on Biden's platform.
Biden want to forbid online sales of guns and ammo.
I bought those guns but haven't yet been to the range to shoot them.
Not at the top of my priority list. I'm more about getting my new showerhead installed so I can have a proper spa bathroom while I'm stuck in the house avoiding covid.

But, I'm ok with parading my AR around if it makes you cry in a girlish fit of horror. Clearly the right wing protesters with ARs have your number. lmao
The ones like your hero Rittenhouse do, yep. It only takes a second to go from legal open carry to murderer in those situations, and the time is accelerated for idiots toting guns.
Stupid behind a trigger is stupid behind a trigger. Most of those GOPer gun toting thugs are cowards without their guns. Add that to the mix and it's a recipe for disaster.
I would never rent to a Trumpian. So if that is all you can say, calling me "scared girl" and other names that you somehow think hurt me, then you have nothing but pathetic trumpian thuggish rhetoric. Low rent crap like that will never get to me, so try MUCH harder.
To be honest, I have been prepared for that since my early 20's.
I am not saying for any specific reason, more for any reason.
People are foolish to be unprepared.
Ain't that the truth. I could have seen it coming from either side. At this point in time and considering the circumstances and rhetoric being espoused, I would see it coming more from the fringe extreme right. But that can change at any time.
I'm prepared to protect my own no matter which direction it comes from. But no matter what kind of BS Eve spouts on here, as of this moment the things being said can easily fuel the fringe on the right. The fuse is being lit.
Hopefully it fizzles out. But the longer this goes on the more dangerous the message is becoming that could easily fuel a lot of violence. Let's not kid ourselves here.

Why would he? She got nailed to the wall almost immediately.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
Yet they refuse to talk about what happened before she lashed out. I wonder why that is?
Facing racist death threats, Detroit’s Cynthia Johnson won’t back down [VIDEO interview]
Democratic state Rep. Cynthia A. Johnson was among the House Oversight Committee members who heard Rudy Giuliani and others’ testimony last week on what they claim was evidence of widespread voter fraud in Michigan.
Even though those claims of voter fraud are still unfounded, Johnson, who represents Detroit, has received numerous death threats and other unsettling phone calls, text messages and emails. The messages range from racist epithets to actual threats of violence.
Johnson, who has been a state representative since 2019, has taken to social media to address these messages and the hearing that sparked them. Johnson told BridgeDetroit she won’t be intimidated by these threats.
“I’m not changing my phone number, I’m not changing my address, both of which are public. So I say keep it on, come on. Let’s show the world who you really are,” Johnson said.
Johnson isn’t the only Democratic woman in Michigan to face threats. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson this week had armed protesters show up to her house to chant about unproven claims of election fraud.
Death threats against state officials and election canvassers have followed November’s election in Michigan. Republican Monica Palmer, chair of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, says she was threatened by multiple people for initially refusing to certify Wayne County’s vote. Palmer said there were various irregularities in Detroit’s ballot counting process.
Legislative aide Abigail Klomparens says Johnson has reported the threats to the House Sergeants who work with the Michigan State Police.
Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield and Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth today released a statement on a video that Johnson released on Facebook. That video has since been removed.
“Threats to either Democrats or Republicans are unacceptable and un-American. They’re even more unbecoming of an elected official. Rep. Johnson has been removed from her committee assignments, and we are looking into further disciplinary action as the proper authorities conduct their own investigations.
“We have been consistent in our position on this – violence and intimidation is never appropriate in politics. We have said that about threats against Gov. Whitmer, Secretary Benson, Rep. Johnson herself, and others. That applies to threats made toward public officials, and it must also apply when the threats come from public officials. Behavior like this will not be tolerated this term or next.”
