He can sure dish it out, but can’t take it
After 9 years of incendiary rhetoric, inciting actual violence, and personally threatening dozens of perceived enemies, TFG has certainly demonstrated that he can dish it out, but sure can’t take it. He has spent years vilifiying everyone from Haitian immigrants to Dems to Taylor Swift, but when someone starts shooting at him, he’s shocked and appalled when the tables are turned.
Let’s be clear – violence is NEVER appropriate in any instance, political or otherwise. But this monster of escalating violence has been wholy created by TFG and his sycophants repeating his vicious lies about everything from “the deep state”, to immigrants, and to anyone who happens to disagree with him. He’s even inciting violence against schoolkids in Springfield, Ohio, FFS. His social media accounts drip with hate, authoritarian declarations, threats, and lies against millions of people and entire classes of society, fabricated from whole cloth. He even incited thousands of knuckleheads to attack the US Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the US government.
I find it pretty rich that TFG and Vance are now denouncing the very violence they’ve been inciting, but only because that violence has been turned on him. If they want a reduction in violence they need to start that at home and turn down the heat, but I’m not expecting any of that. A little self-awareness would be useful right now.
Someone needs to tell him that Democrats don’t want to hurt him, in fact they want him healthy and ready to start his criminal trials starting November 6th!
1I’m with you, Grandma Ada!
2Then there’s his new advisor elon basically asking TFFG’s magats why Kamala hasn’t been targeted. If that’s not an invitation, I don’t know what is. Of course he says it was just a funny joke. Right, wingnut. As I read yesterday, being under contract with the US for national security/aerospace projects, he should be fired.
And jd vance also took a cue from musk and repeated the same rhetoric. The invitation is out there for gun toting magats to retaliate for what trumpf brought on himself.
3They say that charity begins at home. So does hate.
4I’m with you Grandma Ada, I’d rather see Trump in a cell than in a box.
5Show them films of their own misbehavior and they will swear that it is all a lie cookedf up by ther opposition. So what the hell is the use! I just hope that Kamala and Tim stay safe.
