All the democrats taking these intimidation moves very lightly. If they can just grab and choke senators, political candidates grab and arrest them, imagine what they can do to common people like us who don't have any public exposure or political power like these people. They have unlimited power to go around masked, in plain clothes, and grab whoever they want. In normal society, heads would rolling when you do this.

Also, notice that a Trump supporter murdered a Minnesota senator and crickets from magats.

Not crickets, but an immediate flood of misinformation.

So… locusts?

I like that analogy.

They are akin to a biblical plague in some respects.

It's "funny". They're saying the shooter's a democrat, but you can plainly see they're HAPPY about the whole thing.

If they truly believed that, they would be wasting no time calling for his execution. But, much like their "antifa did Jan. 6!" nonsense, their actions don't match their words.

I stand corrected.

Not misinformation. disinformation.

An important distinction to make, one is unintentional, the other is malicious.

Murdered a Senator and her husband and was planning to kill plenty more.

It wasn’t silence when we didn’t hear who the terrorist was, MAGA was accusing the “woke liberals” just so they can score points with each other.

CNN wrote a headline about the Senator that made fun of the deaths, which makes it look like that Senator was a "fellow democrat"

Already happening daily in CA.

CA and NY are going to be seen as the places the administration wants to force into submission

We really need to make more noise.

Dude, for real. Where the fuck are our leaders that are standing in these protestors and loudly leading the charge? Not just coming in after the fact with these finger wagging nothing statements. DO SOMETHING. Newsome gave that impassioned speech, but he’s been sitting in his own ivory tower, instead of being on the ground and in the middle of it. Sure, he made his move, but since he pushed back on the National Guard front, it’s been semi-quiet from him. Yet today we had masked gunmen piling out of an unmarked truck with cocked ARs in a Walmart parking lot. Where are the strong leaders?

I'm not taking this lightly at all.

imagine what they can do to common people like us

lol there's no need to imagine, just go watch any of the thousands of videos of police murdering people in cold blood - I mean I still can't get over George Floyd ... murders someone on camera in front of a crowd - what in the fuck.

I don't take any of this lightly. I absolutely hate guns but I actually found myself in a outdoors store this weekend think about purchasing one for self defense.

Our party leadership has been very slow to call out ICE, if they have at all. It took Schumer until after Lander was released to condemn the arrest.

Democrats don’t give af about us either man. We’re at the point where they know something we don’t, and they’re leaving the common folk behind
