Startling threats and violence against GOP voters: Part of a pattern?

Huh. That's some pretty French Revolution Reign of Terror **** right there.

Wake me when the left starts killing people like right wing extremists are doing. Yes, right wing extremists are responsible for the majority of domestic terrorism right now. But, like, go protect your yard sign or whatever.

Whataboutism.

I have no doubt that the violent wing of Trumpistan will inherit the wind if they keep threatening 'civil war' against their opposition.

We have those clowns doing it on the board and elsewhere. They can only lose.

Trump raises passions. If he'd just stop with the tweeting a lot of this would go away.

And people need to grow a thicker skin. Attack the ideas, not the people supporting the ideas.

A little kindness goes a long way.

I'm of the belief, based on the Left's insanity since Trump's election, that he hasn't invoked any of this. He simply exposed it.

And that, ladies n' gents, is why you should be immediately suspicious when someone demands "proof". They usually have no intention of actually inspecting anything. The idea is to either waste your time if you go looking for it (and "it" is almost always easily available common knowledge) then tiptoe away when you post it, OR, to get you to call them out on the game at which point they announce "aha! I knew you couldn't prove it!" and generally act like the just won the internet.

I suppose some also try to say "proof rejected" as if they "win" a prize unless they choose to admit fault...
 
In addition to the commonly known fact that RW domestic terrorism is the real problem, one typically finds that the alleged MAGA victim in DP threads of this variety was going around trying to provoke people, succeeded in his goal, but then lost the fight he invited. In other words, it's usually the fake victimhood routine.

Wake up!


ON SATURDAY MORNING, a gunman at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, shot and killed at least 20 people before surrendering to the police. By all accounts, Patrick Crusius, the 21-year-old alleged shooter, is a fan of President Donald Trump and his policies. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a “Twitter account bearing the suspect’s name contains liked tweets that include a ‘BuildTheWall’ hashtag, a photo using guns to spell out ‘Trump,’” and more.

What is this "you decide" bull****? They're clearly feeding your confirmation bias.

:lamo

You hate Hannity's hallucination of a liberal, so you'll happily snap up any old smear your propaganda site feeds you. In a nation of 320,000,000 people, people that commit 1,400,000 violent crimes a year, a few instances is not a "pattern." But a propaganda site that sells hate to the easily duped would say it does because, hey, it's not like they'll question anything negative if it's said of the left.

Meanwhile, the greatest terrorism threat comes from right wing hate groups. But you know what you don't see? Left-lean posters trying to smear the entirety of the right, like you keep trying to do to the left.

Startling threats and violence against GOP voters: Part of a pattern?

Startling threats and violence against GOP voters: Part of a pattern? | Fox News

A startling rash of threats and violent incidents targeting Republican voters in recent weeks is raising concerns about the increasingly toxic political climate, just as the 2020 presidential primaries are getting started.

The incidents began earlier this month when a Florida man, Gregory Timm, 27, allegedly rammed his van into a Republican Party voter registration tent. According to reports, Timm ran over chairs and tables, and witnesses said he recorded the scene moments after the incident, made an obscene gesture and sped off.


Days later, in Windham, N.H., amid the state’s first-in-the-nation primary last Tuesday, a man allegedly assaulted a 15-year-old Trump supporter and two adults who had been volunteering at a polling site, Fox News first reported.

The New Hampshire man, Patrick Bradley, 34, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct after allegedly getting in the face of the teenage boy, Nate Campbell, who was wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, and slapping him across the face. He also is said to have assaulted two other adults who attempted to intervene.


Also, over the weekend, protesters at the University of California at Santa Cruz smashed a College Republicans information table.

According to reports, and a video posted on social media, two protesters tore up placards and ripped down signage—with one of them appearing to spit on a 13-star “Betsy Ross” American flag that is seen on the ground.


Meanwhile, police at Arizona State University said that they were investigating a video that showed an individual shouting violent threats at a group of pro-Trump students on campus. The video, posted by Students for Trump at Arizona State University on Feb. 5, shows an individual at ASU's Tempe campus repeatedly shouting at a group of conservative students, saying: "Slash Republicans' throats."

Also, last week, retired New York City police officer Daniel Sprague said he got punched in the face at a Tennessee bar, all because he was wearing a birthday hat and a shirt with Trump-like slogans. The man was wearing a hat that said “Make Fifty Great Again” and a shirt that said “Making America Great since 1970.”


Last month a Florida man was sentenced to 90 days in jail and one year of supervised probation after slapping the bill of a man’s “Make America Great Again” hat before telling the man to “go back to Russia you f--- communist” and spitting on him, investigators said.

Lots of use of the word "allegedly". You know what that means, don't you? Now, shall we examine the proven violence that Trump supporters seem to think is acceptable at their rallies-encouraged by Trump, naturally. Enjoy the following, and then we can also discuss the meaning of hypocrisy:

Cowardly, dishonest, and very stupid response.

Your thread was a pathetic attempt to use Fox propaganda to smear Teh Librulz. A dishonest one at that, seeing as it's right wing terrorism that's the problem.

Leftists themselves admit to having mental health problems, according to a recent survey, especially hit are the far left DP-type nutjobs. Depression, borderline personality disorders, anxiety disorders, to name the most commonly reported. This may explain why the left is so violent and angry. Constantly scouring the web for that one gotcha article to post isn't healthy either. I mean, talk about a mental disorder, if you didn't have one before, you have one now. Even mental health professionals say too much politics is not good for you. Especially if your a friend of Globalist Granny.

<en masse (French)>. Really? So I expect you'll link us to these alleged messages, won't you? On the other hand we have your disgusting 'leader', the mental midget, actively encouraging and inciting violence at his so-called rallies:

YouTube

Is that acceptable to you? A simple yes or no will do; evading the question because it's uncomfortable will not do.

What am I supposed to say? His proof is ****? He provided "proof". Case closed. What more do we need to say? By the way I could be doing something away from the computer, some of us do others things than DP.
