We will not tolerate a right wing fatwa call to attack our military, fbi, police. we will NOT

tolerate this as a country...

(And before my fans jump in to tell me that a fatwa is a religious reading of the law.. I know I know.. I am using the word as in an irrational reading of a law to do harm to others and is the fatwa against Salman Rushdie )



But this exactly what is happening online and among the hordes of Trumpians.. they are calling to attack our government.. to threaten, and intimidate, we even have a congress critter Rand Paul calling to do away with Espionage Act.. anything to protect the Trump..

We will not let the Trumpian followers destroy our country..

and many Republicans don't want democracy destroyed, and are not as rudely loud like RWers. There is a good % of them. Many big wigs are working behind the scene. As with the Democrats as well as Indies.

But alas the corporate media loves RWers and the crap they spew. They love the violence and hatred because I guess it brings in the ratings. RW hate media is the worst and truly I do not believe they care that innocent American blood may be spilled, because it is all about ratings.

and why does the media demand that this otherism.. is it in order to keep people ginned up and tuned in.. for money.. my guess is that it is.. because if a Democrat or someone identified on the left side of the aisle.. and they do something out of bounds.. it is non stop demands from anyone who comes on their station on why did that person do this.. but if the same thing happens on the right side of the aisle.. (and maybe because it is that they do so much wrong) it does not even make the news the next day usually..

And some people want to ostrich, stick their heads in the sand. I am frankly sick of hearing about the misunderstood, peace-loving Republican. If they are still supporting Trump, then they are proto-Fascist if not out-and-out Fascist.

They have become a veritable abomination of themselves and many are so blinded by the propaganda that they cannot see the crimes when they're staring at them.
