Trump praises and encourages acts of violence

Trump got his fat ass over to Fox news Channel and told Laura Ingraham that his speech to the violent mob on January 6th was "extremely calming".

Now, on an actual news channel, they would have called Trump out for his blatant lying. But Ingraham let allowed Trump to lie constantly and never once tried to correct him.

In Trump's "calming" speech, he repeated false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him and encouraged his followers to march to the Capitol.

"You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong," Trump said in the speech.

"We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

Yeah, do those sound like the sort of calming words that would deescalate the situation?
 
Trump’s tour of Florida with Bill O’Reilly isn’t filling the arenas. Maybe too many of his supporters are in custody.
 
Trump has left behind a Republican party no longer committed to democracy. That sounds hyperbolic but, if anything, it understates the case. Republicans are breaking from the principle that precedes the idea of democracy and is even more fundamental: the belief that arguments between citizens should be resolved by peaceful means. Today’s Republican party is normalising the notion of violence as a means of securing a political outcome.

Start with the case of Paul Gosar, the Republican member of Congress for Arizona. He retweeted an anime-style video that depicted him murdering his Democratic colleague, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as swinging a sword at Joe Biden. Appalling though that was, especially at a time when AOC and others face constant threats of violence, more telling was the response of Gosar’s party. When Democrats moved to censure him, only two Republicans voted with them. The 200-odd others gave Gosar their blessing.

Earlier, Republicans had had to make a similar decision. Before her election to Congress in 2020, Marjorie Taylor Greene had posted on Facebook a photograph of herself holding a gun next to an image of AOC and two other members of the so-called Squad, made up of left-leaning Democratic women of colour. Taylor Greene also all but called for the execution of the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi. Yet when Democrats voted to kick the Georgia Republican off the various congressional committees she sat on, only 11 members of her party voted with them. The rest stood with her.

Of course, the pattern was set with the Republican response to Trump himself, and his encouragement of the attempt to overturn a democratic election by force earlier this year. Republicans could have repudiated the storming of the Capitol on 6 January by joining their Democratic colleagues in voting to impeach the outgoing president for “inciting an insurrection”. But only 10 Republicans did so.

Since then, those 10 dissenters have been pilloried and ostracised by their fellow Republicans. Among the shunned is Liz Cheney, who was stripped of her House leadership role and expelled from the state Republican party in her native Wyoming. She’s an arch-conservative like her former vice-president father, but that didn’t matter. Cheney believes in respecting elections – and that was enough to put her beyond the pale.

Trump and his followers are hardly the first Americans that were opposed to democracy, equality and fairness. In the 1930’s and 40’s, we had Charles Coughlin and his followers.

Like Trump, Coughlin was a Republican and like Trump, Coughlin used the social media of the day to stir up unrest and inspire violence.
Coughlin was openly anti-Semitic and used his radio show and his newspaper, Social justice to call for a "crusade against the anti-Christian forces”.

Coughlin had over two million followers. His followers gobbled up his anti-Semitic, anti-Roosevelt, pro-fascist propaganda.

Coughlin’s followers organized boycotts of Jewish businesses and held parades and rallies. At their rallies, they had speakers who engaged in hatemongering against Jews, labor unions and against President Roosevelt.

Coughlin’s more hardcore supporters formed a group called the Christian Front, which participated in the February 20, 1939, Nazi rally held in Madison Square Garden.

For several months in 1939, Jews were harassed and attacked on the streets of New York City by thugs associated with the Christian Front. Violent incidents including beatings and stabbings. New York City police infiltrated the organization and obtained more than a hundred convictions for the assaults.

Members of the Christian Front organized a plot to assassinate President Roosevelt as well as prominent Jews and high-ranking government officials. The FBI were able to uncover this plot and shut down the front while their violent coup was still in the planning stages.

Coughlin denied having any knowledge of the plot to overthrow the government and claimed that he had no connection to the Christian Front, even though they were doing his will. He had plausible deniability as there were no written records or audio recordings of Coughlin ever giving any orders or instructions to the Front. Although it all looked highly suspicious. Even if the Christian Front wasn’t taking orders from Coughlin, it was quite clear that he inspired them to acts of violence and sedition with his hatemongering against the Jews, and against the president of the United States.

In the end, Coughlin was forced into obscurity. The Catholic Church ordered him to stand down. He lost his radio show and his newspaper. He was never charged with a crime, but he became a dirty little secret that nobody wanted to talk about.

Fast-forwarding about eighty years, we now have Donald Trump and his followers.

The MAGA crowd are also anti-Semitic, although they are far more famous for being anti-black and anti-Latino. They are pro-fascists In many ways it’s like we’re seeing history repeat itself.

Although, when Trump’s supporter attempted to overthrow the government by force, the FBI didn’t arrest the conspirators while they were in the planning stages. They breached the Capitol and assaulted Capitol police offers. The Vice President and members of Congress were forced to flee for their lives while Trump’s supporters ran amok through the halls of Congress.

And while Trump denies having any foreknowledge of the coup plot and claims that he’s not their leader, he wasn’t forced into obscurity like Father Coughlin. He hasn’t become a dirty secret like Father Coughlin.

Instead, Trump is attacking the FBI, the Justice Department, the Capitol Police and the judges and insisting that the violent mob who attacked the Capitol are political prisoners who should be set free. A disturbing number of Republican Party leaders are echoing Trump’s sentiments.

Also, Donald Trump wants Capitol Police to be charged for defending the Capitol from the January 6th rioters.

Over 100 officers were left injured, and tragically, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died the following day after collapsing from injuries sustained during the assault.
But Trump doesn't think that they've suffered enough. He wasn't those who survived the assault on the Capitol to be prosecuted.

This is not the first time we’ve seen Republicans publicly embrace fascism and reject American values, but this time, they’re doubling down. Instead of distancing themselves from Trump, they’re embracing him and promoting his pro-fascist, anti-democracy rhetoric. They’re attacking the FBI, the DOJ and the President of the United States and some of them are calling for even more violence to help re-install Trump by force.
