Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy response to Sen. Graham. There will be riots in the streets if Trump isn't indicted.
Two can play that game. I am sick and tired of this cult of Trump. They have made Trump a king who can do no wrong. That has to end and there is only one way to do that. Prosecute him for the many crimes he has committed.
If that causes riots in the streets, that's what we have a National Guard for. Most Trump voters are all talk and no brains.
I am tired of the threats from Republicans and the Trump voters. They are on the wrong side of history, the rule of law, the constitution, not us.

(58,785 posts)like the tRumpists, are FAR more prone to violence. And LWers far less. Even aggressive bro-type LW populists/extremists are significantly less violent and bloodthirsty than their RW counterparts, and they're up for at least some.
This may not seem like a strength, but at our nation's founding and over the course of our history, when there've been plenty of RW outrage and violent acting out -- even a large civil war in addition to armed rebellions, over the long term liberal and democratic principles and the rule of law have consistently prevailed. As you say, we're on the right side of history. They're on the wrong side.
That's not to say some people wouldn't march in protest, or that a few angry opportunists wouldn't use a march as an excuse for some window breaking and theft, but the Republicans are not even the slightest bit worried that Democrats would break out into widespread street violence if tRump wasn't indicted.
Btw, I'm guessing you'll have some walls nearby if you needed to punch something at some point.

(58,785 posts)The sarcasm should be completely unmistakable.
Agree Graham's an idiot. Of course.

The Jungle 1
(4,552 posts)The reality is that the 1/6 treasonous insurrection was very unorganized and accomplished nothing. The right does not have an organized movement or a plan! If it becomes organized we will smash it. The right is a pack of sore losers who do not agree with majority rule and believe anything their leader says. They are stupid!
The south was organized and had state government support. What we have now is a bunch of ass hats running around with their pants of fire. It is an fing clown show. They were taught one thing. They can go to jail. That was an important lesson.
If the next lesson is necessary they will learn that the police who they hate will shoot.
We should not not have ignored Cliven Bundy! That was a huge mistake.
I am very impressed with how the Democrats are running this investigation right up to the November election.
Lock him up!

(58,785 posts)It's not that I don't agree with much of what you're saying, but "organized rage" is not a synonym for rioting. The BLM marchers themselves were peaceful and had positive goals. They were magnificent, actually! On just one of the days over half a million people turned out.
They worked, too. Over 3/4 of Americans supported this historic #BLM happening. In spite of the opportunistic violent actors, mostly RW, drawn to some places.

Violence is not spoken in just small circles.
They're ALL locked an loaded. Especially online. Go back and watch the video when Ashley Babit was shot. Funny thing, they were all a bunch of bad-asses breaking that door down, but when shots were fired they all scattered like cockroaches. Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe there are "some" in the loon brigade willing to go all kamikaze, but I also believe the numbers are way way smaller than they verbally spew about. It's one thing to walk around in public armed to the teeth, go to the range or even hunting. But funny thing, paper targets, deer and the moms at Target, aren't shooting back. You got Prod Boys involved in Charlottesville crying on FB how scared they are at the thought of being arrested FFS! And, they have lulled themselves into believing they are the ONLY ones who own guns. I'm not that concerned about them.

The idiotic MAGA goons who love tossing around this Jefferson quote will find out soon enough whose blood will refresh the tree of liberty.

(2,035 posts)There will be no waiting two and a half hours to send in the National Guard. There will be no watching the riots from the dining room of the White House and later rewinding to watch "the good parts."

(200 posts)But I believe it would be incumbent on the interviewer to ask where Senator Graham stands if this actually happened (and you know damn well it's not going to)
As someone on Twitter remarked, there'll be some rioting on some dirt roads but nothing in any city.
