the National Guard as a show of force just like what the repugs did with Occupy Wall St.

(6,612 posts)It is not desirable, but we have to have push back against clear, unambiguous threats such as this. It is appalling that tRump would be the source of the unrest, but this is what happened when tRump did not get tossed out of office.
He is well known for sending out trial balloons and gauging the reactions to them. So, he commits sedition and no one says a damned thing. He will escalate exponentially until we have a real incident committed by those bozos who think that tRump will have their backs. What will we say when they harm somebody in the name of tRump?

Not only would it take his rallies to the next logical step, but you'd have bigger crowds the next day and in all 50 states.

Coddling these morons not only is endangering others, but it only serves to embolden them.

(51,105 posts)As much as I hate to say it, I believe that the best thing to do with these right-wing Liber-Tea fools is to let them assemble. A lot of these idiots will wise up the hard way in a few weeks and if theyre lucky, theyll be recovering as well as politically discredited.
I hate to think about the public health consequences, but this is a choice between bad and worse.

Don't give these fucksticks an inch, or the next thing you know, the media will be doing 24/7 coverage of a handful of batshit crazy racist as if they're some kind of fucking majority.

That means if one of them uses a gun, shoot them dead.

Is Nietzsche correct or have people always been like this and are just not hiding it anymore?

(6,612 posts)It is a matter of where they chose to assemble while toting guns. And the fact that they impeded an ambulance.
I also think that the National Guard in each of those states should be placed on alert.
For the sake of peace, and at all costs to our Democracy, we will sit and watch while Trump and his minions take it from us. Everyone of those who obstructed the ambulance should have been arrested. And, the obvious threat to the Governors should have been strongly opposed.
Trump is a sorry Mofo who needs to be impeached for sedition.
#Impeachment No. 2. C'mon, Nancy. Fight on.
