    I’m actually incredibly excited to hear how the Conspiracy peddlers spin this, we’ll study this level of crazy forever.

      I have heard some internet talking head turn their “democracts say fascist, make democrats shoot trump” into “democrats say fascist, even make republicans shoot trump”.

        Ah, a very selective recognition of stochastic terrorism. Except it doesn’t quite fit because calling Repubs fascist isn’t a lie.

        It sure is easier to convince Repubs to shoot since they are already brainwashed. Too bad it is hard to direct them at people who deserve it instead of shoppers and nightclub attendees.

            There are plenty of people who deserve it. Oil barons lying about climate so that they can continue to profit at the expense of millions of lives. Insurance barons lying about healthcare so that they can continue to profit at the expense of everyone’s wellbeing.

              Pass better laws. Get better lawyers. Elect better politicians. You only think murder is an option because you suck at all of the sane ways to handle things.

                That brings up a good point. Murdoch and everyone brainwashing people with propaganda to the point that they allow Repubs to obstruct all progress so they can profit also deserve it as much as the Repubs obstructing all progress.

                  This has got to be the dumbest thing I have seen all day. Murdering people should not be an option. Enjoy your visit with the feds.

                    I’m not participating in radicalizing Repubs so that they commit terrorism. Simply hoping they went after the people who deserve it (e.g., the ones actively participating in radicalization) is pretty well covered under the First Amendment. Otherwise way more Repubs would be in jail before they get to the terrorism part. I’ll let you know if anyone stops by, tho.

      I was told “he’s from Pennsylvania, he’s registered as a republican, but he’s a democrat. You see, the democrats have been voting as republican so they can vote on the republican ticket for Trumps enemies”

      I just can’t. I’m not looking forward to work this week.
