By focusing on the FOX News talking point from 1980 You’re normalizing the part where he and Trump called for the invasion of every blue city and the slaughter of the citizens there you oligarch pig fucking cowards. Become the enemy at your own risk.

You missed the part where Trump ordered the slaughter of civilian populations in major American cities. The drunk will die fast, why are focused on the joke when people need to defend themselves right fucking now?
The War Secretary revealed he will cut down already reduced training, like the law of war, but empower "drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits, ensuring future war fighters are forged"—aka hazing.

So it was worse than you thought. Trump declares war on America in a an order unconstitutional on its face. Also already declared 100% victory in the coming midterms and all prior elections, one party rule. Supporting Republican Party treason at this point, violence is now the answer. YOLO

Hypothetically: at the midterms Republicans win every election in “a miracle of Jesus Trump, savior of democracy” and then the military follows thru with Hegeseths orders to the brass at the coming closed door meeting to invade every protesting blue city and kill the “libtards”. Then is violence OK?
Um yeah. The calls for violence sure do seem to be coming directly from the ’right’ / GOP / MAGA / republicans.

Contrary to Trump’s claim that “the radical left causes tremendous violence,” sociologists find that right-wing extremists account for the vast majority of attacks and deaths from domestic terrorism.
