Yep. They’re starting already. This will not end well and Matt Gaetz should be impeached from office. A sitting member of government should not be calling for violence against said government. They’re getting more bold and dangerous with their statements. By the time Trump loses the next election they’ll be inciting them to war.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
This is what I don’t get. What’s the end game here? Why are people so hell bent on Trump winning? Do these politicians not see the ship sinking? What possible motivation could be keeping these people loyal to him? I’m not talking about the regular constituents but the other republican officials in office? What the hell do they stand to gain here?
Because they have made a deal with the devil and throwing in the towel means payment comes due. Thanks to the southern strategy Republicans hitched their proverbial wagon to the Christian extremists (who make up the bulk of the racists the southern strategy is predicated on). Decades of propaganda by the likes of Fox “News”, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Glenn Beck has left their party deeply mired with conspiracy theorists and people with only a tenuous grasp of reality, and an equal number of grifters and con artists preying on those same vulnerable populations. These people are the backbone of Trumps support and they have for various reasons completely embraced him in some cases even as a literal messiah. The Republican party is already struggling to attract enough voters to continue to win elections without resorting to voter fraud, they literally can not afford to give up a single voter, and turning against Trump at this point would shatter their party.
Trump is an existential threat to the Republican party, but one that perversely they can’t publicly attack without inciting the very thing that would destroy them. Like Frakenstein they’ve created a monster, and now it has turned on them. They’re frantically trying to keep its ire focused anywhere but on themselves and just hoping it does more damage to their opponents than it does to them before they can think up some way to contain or kill it.
They want a race war. They want concentration camps and mass killings of anyone they deem a liberal. Reinstate slavery and to hurt a lot of people. That’s their in game. It’s a playbook written on writing a tidal wave of hate and emotions.
They’re at the point of being scooby doo villains, all that’s left is for them to say, “And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling leftists” as they’re being arrested for treason.

They’re getting bold because nothing happens to them.

They want freaking Gilead. I used to think that was just wild hyperbole, but good god are these right wing loonies scary.
Because they are part of a cult that has infiltrated government for decades to turn it into a christofascist state and they’re at their endgame.
Because the only other option, losing, means that they’re losers and they can’t accept that. It’s not any more complicated than that.
It’s mass delusion. They’re operating primarily on lies and fantasy instead of any reality.
In other words, trying to apply logical reasoning to their perspective is not going to work.
They’re at the point of being scooby doo villains, all that’s left is for them to say, “And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling leftists” as they’re being arrested for treason.
