Why are they praising the MagaShooter? They're justifying violence in preparation for Trump losing.

Trump has been telling us this for weeks now.

If they lose, they will destroy as much as possible on the way out.

They can't let the "libs" win.

Not condoning or excusing here. But all this hateful paramilitary rhetoric coming from Trump and his group is designed to exploit the naive and the aggrieved-- and that goes right to the heart of the angry young white men.

The right wingers aren’t excusing him for being young. They are praising him for self defense.

And they are busy being character assassins for his victims.

If Biden wins, the Republican Party might just go full-on armed insurrectionist, at least in the short term. The rank and file has been working towards this for years, with their “liberal hunting licenses,” the NRA excusing mass shooters, etc. Now the party’s media figures are leaning into it, and the elected leadership will likely follow. They’ve certainly shown no interest in restraining it so far.

I posted earlier that the “If Biden wins there will be violence” rhetoric is starting to sound less like a warning to voters and more like a threat.

Like Biden is president now.

I don't know if this is going to work-- I don't see how it can. Are people so stupid they don't think, huh, if there's all these problems NOW, why wouldn't we blame the man who is president NOW?

But his 35% are that stupid, and that mean.

Can't win with just then.

Haven't the Boogaloo Bois set their date for the Boogaloo as 11/4, the day after voting and regardless of who wins?
