I mean that's what they asked for. They've seen how Putin operates and Trump has shown great admiration for his methods. So they should assume he would use those kinds of threats and alleged follow-through.
Counterpoint, send credible death threats when they DON'T oppose Trump's policies.
Guess we'll just just have to threaten them even more physically to get the results we want then
When this tension pops,
People are going to start being killed.
Please be safe
Fascists are cowards. We know this.
Wait until the threats against them for criticizing Trump and those for not protecting their subsidies and pork barrels cross the equilibrum and start to shift the balance.
So what you're saying is they aren't afraid enough of the other side.
Nothing that cannot be helped or fixed.
Basically, lawmakers just advance the interests of whoever is most likely to kill them, real great country we have here.
What has become of watering the good old tree of democracy? Are those politicians afraid it might be their turn? Tsk, tsk.
🇺🇸Nuke the GOP🇺🇲
Remember when his wife made her cause ‘fight against bullying’
Is that true? I haven’t seen any Republican got hurt physically so far.
I say they fear the media more. In deep red states the primary is the real election. Fox News plays kingmaker
So then you're saying they need more threats from constituents for supporting Trump?
Republicans: We're in charge!
Trump and ELon's SS:
Pussies
All thanks to the greatest, brightest, most powerful, best at everything nation in the world🤪
Trump, quick, suck Elon's toes if this is not true.
Pretty soon they're going to be terrified of everyone for the same reason. Grow a spine, and do what's right for your country, not Krasnov
If a death threat makes you back down I want you out of my government. I'd consider it on par with treason or like a soldier going AWOL in combat.
Maybe we should make them more afraid of us than of them? If that's what they're signaling works.
You know, something like this can't happen in the USA because of the Second Amendment. I've learned this from countless of dudes on the internet that screamed endlessly about it, so this must all be a dream. Only woke nations line Nazi Germany can fall for this 🙄
It's easy. You call him a fat little bitch who sucks at everything and who only won because Republicans are all idiots.
And that's playing it neutral. If you like, you can start leaning into it a little.
The tough-talking pro-gun people who, when your kid gets shot at school, says more guns are the answer, won't stick up for your kid or anything else out of fear that someone might send them a threatening message for doing so.
won’t stick up for your kid
Emphasis mine. Why would they give a fuck about someone else's kid? That is how conservatives actually think, including the ones that get fucking elected. It's literally their job and they still can't give a fuck about a thing until it literally happens to them.
They should try that with someone older. I’m 50/50 on whether I fear death or whether to look forward to eternal naps.
Where are they going to find someone older than a member of Congress?
This is one situation where I think telling someone to “man, the fuck, up” is appropriate.
Protect your family, yes. But, also protect the fucking country. Step aside if you can’t or don’t act the victim when the blowback hits you.
