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..

(12,300 posts)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 maybe because it is that they do so much wrong) it does not even make the news the next day usually..

(9,670 posts)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.
