House Minority Leader Pelosi called Waters’ comments “unacceptable” before tweeting that “we must strive to make America beautiful again.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THIS SHIT BEAUTIFUL???? WAKE THE FUCK UP PELOSI AND ALL THE OTHER COWARDS IN OUR PARTY.

Back in the 90's, I thought the extremist, violent rhetoric of talk radio & pundits like Ann Coulter was bluster or comedy, but then it came from politicians' staff, Tea Partiers in Congress, now Trump.

The next step is violence against political opponents as policy.

The model we are likely to see is not the Nazis as much as the Spanish Civil War.

It seems to be a requirement at these things, I guess. Even old ladies are wearing the cap.
Probably has tattoos too.

Can you also wear shirts that say:

Rifle Wall
African Americans (only they'd use the n word)

Knife. Trunk.
Gays (only they'd use the f word)

how about

Bat. Kitchen.
Wife

or

Penis. Camera
Children


Its disgusting seeing how gleeful these idiots are.

They're all too full of Trump KoolAid to see how utterly absurd it is to wear something that encourages murder and lecture someone else about civility.

Forget about reaching those people, we must just resolve to fight them everywhere. They aren't not civil, they hate us and consider us less than human. Fuck them.

In fact, according to the article, the design goes back to the 2000s.

Excerpt:

The shirt in the Minneapolis photo was, according to the lettering (a larger type and different font than in Bob’s design) likely bought almost a decade ago—designed by a conservative blogger known as Misha, who writes at the website Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, and purchased here. Another design read “Celebrate Diversity,” accompanied by an image of 18 handguns.


Trump is definitely bringing these fringe types into the mainstream, disturbingly.

Seems like they are making an implicit threat with these t-shirts especially in light of the actions of the Maryland Gazette shooter?

Sounds like the creator Misha's time has come:

“be grateful that the print on that T-shirt, then as now, is mere hyperbole. Because you deserve far, far worse at this point in history. And if you don’t back off, we predict that you may just one day get it.”

I call that inciting violence.
