Trump praises and encourages acts of violence

[KeithD]

Donald Trump fomented the coup attempt and did nothing to try to prevent it. He's guilt of sedition. We're just lucky he's so incompetent at getting anything done.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who has a talent for constructive bluntness, describes a political atmosphere within the GOP heavy with fear. “If you look at the vote to impeach,” she said recently, “there were members who told me that they were afraid for their own security — afraid, in some instances, for their lives.” The events of Jan. 6 have only intensified the alarm. When Donald Trump insists he is “still the rightful president,” Cheney wrote in an op-ed for The Post, he “repeats these words now with full knowledge that exactly this type of language provoked violence on Jan. 6.” And there’s good reason, Cheney argued, “to believe that Trump’s language can provoke violence again.”

Sometimes political events force us to step back in awe, or horror, or both. The (former) third-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives has accused a former president of her party of employing the threat of violence as a tool of intimidation. And election officials around the country — Republican and Democratic — can attest to the results: Death threats. Racist harassment. Armed protesters at their homes.


From one perspective, this is not new. Trump has made a point of encouraging violence against protesters at his rallies (“knock the crap out of them”), excusing violence by his supporters (people "with tremendous passion and love for their country”) and generally acting like a two-bit mob boss. He publicly supported Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager charged with homicide in the killing of two people in Kenosha, Wis. (Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty.) He embraced Mark and Patricia McCloskey for brandishing guns at peaceful marchers in St. Louis. He deployed federal security forces to break heads in Lafayette Square.

If Trump has a political philosophy, one of its main tenets is toxic masculinity — the use of menace and swagger to cover his mental and moral impotence. And the mini-Trumps have taken their master’s lead. When Trump operative Stephen K. Bannon proposed that Anthony S. Fauci should be beheaded, when Trump ally Joseph diGenova said a federal cybersecurity official should be “taken out at dawn and shot,” when Trump lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani urged Trump supporters to engage in “trial by combat,” all of this was more than paunchy, pathetic, aging White men talking smack they could never back up. It exemplified a type of politics where cruelty is the evidence of commitment, brutality is the measure of loyalty and violence is equated with power.

Mark is now running for Senate.

And Cheney has a Trump-backed opponent in Wyoming...a family-values conservative who got a 14-year-old pregnant when he was 19 (she later committed suicide, and the resulting son is now awaiting trial for rape in California).

That’s State Sen. Anthony Bouchard. He should also have been tried for rape.

Six From Trump Cult Simultaneously Indicted For Insurrection

rump loaded his weapon of choice with angry white nationalists, lit their fuses with his big mouth, and aimed them directly at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6. Some of these people were extremely well-prepared and had been training, as any terrorist group does. Others were along for the catapult and fizzled out along the way. Conspiracy charges have begun to turn into conspiracy indictments.

Six men, members of a White Nationalist group, California’s Three Percenters, were allegedly charged by prosecutors for their actions at the nation’s Capitol. Each was hit with a conspiracy indictment for their part in the plot to obstruct the Senate and House’s vote count on that fateful day and hand the election over to Donald Trump.

Wendy Davis, Others Sue 'Trump Train' Bunch for Surrounding Biden Bus on Highway

Newsweek on MSN.com|28 minutes ago

The suit alleges the "Trump Train" group violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 as well as Texas law by conspiring to "disrupt the campaign and intimidate its supporters."

What did Trump say about protesters? Just shoot them. Yep...that is what he said. Tell me again how he isn't a Fascist traitor. Every Republican that refuses to criticize this condones it. And that makes them a Fascist traitor too.

Or....is turn around fair play? Which is it?

‘Trump Train’ drivers who tried to run Biden bus off road sued under KKK Act

Days before the 2020 election, a bus transporting a team of President Joe Biden’s campaign staff to an event in Texas was nearly run off the road by a barrage of vehicles toting Trump flags. Now, two lawsuits have been filed in relation to the incident — one against the Trump supporting drivers, dubbed the ‘Trump Train,’ and another against law enforcement who “turned a blind eye.”

“When members of the ‘Trump Train’ surrounded us on the highway and started harassing and threatening us, we were terrified,” said bus driver and plaintiff Timothy Holloway in a press release.

The plaintiffs claim that the actions of both defendants were in violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, a law designed to protect against political violence and voter intimidation, particularly of formerly enslaved people.

Eric Cervini, another plaintiff who accompanied the Biden-Harris bus in a separate vehicle, described the event as an “ambush” by armed Trump supporters in pickup trucks seeking to run the bus off the road.
“Everyone on the campaign bus was doing what good citizens of any political party should do — engaging in the electoral process,” Cervini said in Friday's news release.

According to the lawsuit, at least one of the Trump Train drivers has been identified as a participant in the Jan. 6 Capitol siege. The plaintiffs further allege that the drivers' actions were spurred on by Trump campaign surrogates, including Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr.

Today's Republicans appear to have a bottomless appetite for violence and destruction. It's important to understand that Donald Trump did not create that appetite — although he fed it, encouraged it and shares it.

In his capacity as political cult leader, Trump exemplifies what psychologists describe as "the dark triad" of human behavior: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. His followers idolize and worship him, and all too often seek to imitate his antisocial and pathological behavior.

Ultimately, the relationship between Trumpism, the Republican Party and the American body politic as a whole is akin to a parasitic infection. The infection feeds off the host. The host spreads the infection. Other organisms are infected. The cycle continues, and the parasite lives on. In that sense, today's Republican Party, with its embrace of neofascism, constitutes a public health emergency.

So when Biden condemned the violence in no uncertain terms, that really meant he was "sponsoring" it. Right. Must be nice to be able to read the enemy's mind.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a warning on Friday: believers in the false conspiracy theory that Trump will be reinstated have increased their calls for violence if the former president isn’t back in the White House soon.

“Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized,” the DHS bulletin, obtained by ABC News, said.

The bulletin went on to say that the recent increase in “public visibility” of liars like the My Pillow guy, Mike Lindell, is the reason for the uptick in violent online chatter.

Lindell continues to relentlessly push the Big Lie that the election was stolen, going so far as to say that he expects the Supreme Court to unanimously rule in favor of reinstating Trump as president in August.

“Over the last few days what has occurred is there’s been much more public visibility, meaning the discussions and these theories have migrated away from being contained within the conspiracy and extremist online communities, to where they’re being the topic of discussion on web forums, or more public web forums, and even within the sort of media ecosystem,” a senior DHS official told ABC News.

The drunk-on-Trump crowd has been triggered so much that Homeland Security says they are concerned about the calls for violence increasing further.

One of Trump's loyalists stormed into a Walmart in Missouri to threaten the pharmacists at that location, telling that they would be "executed" if they keep giving COVID vaccine shots.

Millions of Trump supporters have bought into the propaganda that President Biden is illegitimate and that violent force is justified to restore Trump to the White House.

Sixty-three percent of the 21 million adamant insurrectionists in the country believe in the "Great Replacement," the idea that the rights of whites will be overtaken by the rights of Blacks and Hispanics. The second most important driver was a QAnon belief, where 53 percent of the 21 million believed that our government is run and controlled by a satanic cult of pedophiles. Those are the two radical beliefs that are really ... the key drivers of the insurrectionist sentiments in the country today.

Transcribed 911 calls reveal that San Marcos police officials refused multiple requests for assistance from a Biden campaign bus that was being harassed on the road by a so-called Trump Train, even as other jurisdictions agreed to help.

In one instance, Matthew Daenzer, a San Marcos police corporal, refused to provide assistance after another jurisdiction recommended he do so, according to the Tribune.

The new filings also allege that officers "privately laughed" and "joked about the victims and their distress."

The plaintiffs also included a group text message between San Marcos police officers that appeared to show that they "poked fun at the attack," with one unidentified individual referring to Democrats who drove through their town with a derogatory term used to describe people with mental disabilities.

Trump praises and encourages acts of violence

Domestic terrorist Cesar Sayoc mailed pipe bombs to Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Senator Kamala Harris, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, actor Robert De Niro, former U.S. President Barack Obama, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as other public figures who have been critical of Donald Trump.

Much more recently, a group of right-wing terrorists who call themselves the Wolverine Watchmen plotted to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and ignite a “civil war”.

And more recently still, a group of armed criminals stalked a campaign bus that was in Texas to promote Joseph Biden’s candidacy. They used pickup trucks to box in the campaign bus and tried to force it off the road. They also rammed an SUV that was traveling with the campaign bus.

All of these incidents have at least one thing in common. Trump has repeatedly and publicly attacked the victims of these crimes, calling them things like “crooked” “tyrant”, “human scum”, and “an enemy of the American People.”

Trump refuses to condemn hate groups and domestic terrorists like the ones listed above and instead encourages them, like when he tweeted, “I LOVE TEXAS” after armed criminals in Texas attempted to force the Biden bus off the road.

America has always had racists, theocrats and right-wing extremists. Trump uses incendiary rhetoric and posturing to incite these people and trigger them into committing acts of violence and terror.

Trump validates the irrational hatreds and fears of America’s extremists. Trump even promotes conspiracy theories to rile them up and urge them into greater acts of violence and recklessness. Trump’s dangerously irresponsible rhetoric has served to incite those who have taken Trump’s words as a sort of permission to do what they’re doing.

Trump has a talent when it comes to triggering right-wing extremists and his accomplices over at Fox “news” give him a bullhorn through which through which he can reach millions of extremists and trigger as many of them as possible.

Trump praises and encourages acts of violence and domestic terrorism in the United States of America. Why has he not been arrested and charged for this? Are we seriously saying that Trump is somehow above the law and that he can seriously commit any crime he wants without facing any legal consequences whatsoever?

Trump laughed hard when “Let’s Go Brandon” broke out during the World Series game he attended! AND, did the Tomahawk Chop! Yup, he’s a violence inciter alright!
