They’ve really normalized this shit to the point they don’t understand why it’s wrong…
It’s just like 1/6, there’s a few that are serious and dangerous, and they’re hiding among a large group of fucking idiots and using them as human shields.
Normalizing violence is something fascists always do before the actual violence, they’re getting people desensitized to the idea of it.
they’ve never understood it to BE wrong, much less why. all they know is the fear mongering rhetoric of “they’re coming to take your guns, turn your kids gay, and forcibly terminate your pregnancies” along with the whole “you’re not a real man if you’re not violent” ideal, since the GOP stance can’t win on policy
My dad was recently telling me a story from back in the 90s when he worked in a rural Wisconsin town close to the Illinois border and his co-workers would “joke” about shooting at cars with Illinois license plates. It’s crazy to me just how long the right has had a culture of sharing fantasies about being violent towards the left. It’s no wonder that the vast majority of mass shooters turn out to be far right nut jobs, they’ve been raised in a culture that glorifies violence against people they disagree with.
I don’t think the nickname Crapler Harris is going to stick.
Im surprised no one’s come up with Camel Hairs. Vaguely racist/xenophobic and mysogynist with enough wiggle room to pretend it’s neither
In Canada, the Conservatives came up with Trudumb for Trudeau.
Trudope was literally right there. His name is True + dope without the p at the end.
Hmm well i guess you don’t have the yankee (90s? Early 2ks?) slang ‘that’s dope’ to mean something is “cool” up there? If i got the nickname True Dope I’d lean into it.
Maybe the conservatives brought that knowledge up with their trump flags and that’s why you didn’t get that sweet name
Tangential but also relevant; I worked in a larger construction company until a year ago and it was multi state. Imagine my surprise when word spread that the FBI was looking for an employee in another department regarding 1/6. Before Jan 6 he had been filmed jumping up on a table at the local Costco with a megaphone and spewing filth.
There are always signs.
Turns out violent threats are not protected speech under the first amendment. Who knew?!
Fuck around and find out.
“Good people of the jury, my client is guilty of nothing more than merely forgetting to append ‘in Minecraft,’ to his statement.”
“[F]or a comment. This is ridiculous, for a comment,” he allegedly said. “I guess I’m gonna need a lawyer.”
The comment:
Carillo in one post said Harris doesn’t “have a snowballs chance in hell which is exactly where you’re going and soon. I will cut your eyes out of your FUCKING head” and “will make sure you suffer a slow agonizing death."
He said he would “personally” set Harris on fire “if no one else does."
Carillo said Harris is “going to regret ever trying to become president because if that ever happened I will personally pluck out her eyes with a pair of pliers but first I will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a fucking promise.”
What is it that this person believes she has done that deserves such a horrible death? It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around why someone thinks like this
There’s been a coordinated campaign of dehumanization in the right-wing media for decades. This guy has been indoctrinated to see her as the enemy and to not see her as a person
Even the most evil people I can think of. The most I’d want them to “suffer” is the realization of how terrible they are, before they enter the void. I don’t want them tortured. I don’t want to hurt them. I just want them to not exist.
The “comments” this guy made are psychotic. I don’t mean that in a hyperbolic kind of way. I mean in a “danger to society” kind of way.
I used to hear this kind of shit all the time when I had a trumper as a supervisor. I almost did call the feds once when he and several other people were talking about shooting people for living in a city. One of them had just bought a gun and was in the waiting period. It’s obviously just shit talk, but I should have burned them for being pieces of shit.
She probably wore a tan suit or put mustard on a hot dog at some point in her life.
Here is the complete and exhaustive list of things Kamala has done to wrong this person:
- Be a Democrat
I wonder if it is some kind of frustration burst release that finds a convenient path of list effort in the far-right propaganda. Like when people get furious alone inside their own car and call everybody names, or gamers threatening your life online after some loss, because there’s no perceived emotional consequences so they don’t need to restrain themselves, same idea but more extreme. I don’t think most of those people would have the heart of doing such horrible things if they were in front of their target and had to face the inevitable human empathy. Sociopaths with zero empathy are probably much rarer than Trump supporters.
How stupid of him. If only had just said “haha sike naw jk lol lol lol” after every sentence.
“I thought this was America where we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH to just comment on how we’re going to torture, mutilate, and kill presidential candidates, not some communist fascist dictatorship. Except if you talk bad about Trump, you’ll get killed for that.” –Somebody somewhere
will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a fucking promise.”
Real small dick energy
I just want to get to a world where “that is a fucking promise” is actually a promise.
This is like the whole “figuratively” vs. “literally” thing turned up to 11. Are you actually, literally promising to do something? If not, then don’t say “I promise” just to make it understood that you feel something passionately.
”For a comment.”
In this day and age, who hasn’t made incredibly specific ultraviolent threats against an elected official while constantly reassuring others that they are serious/making a promise to enact these threats? Did this upstanding citizen simply forget to cite his first amendment rights to the agents?
Yeah the feds aren’t gonna fuck around with a statement like that.
Especially if you own guns.
