Least schizo Trump supporter behavior

That is some good Christian behavior

You mean the group that burnt down the Serapeum of Alexandria, and gouged out the eyes of Hypatia with seashells?

Yeah, this really seems a step too far for those guys.

At what point does this sort of thing stop being politics and start being organized crime? So now I halfway-hope the vigilantes that try to do this will end up facing criminal charges for it

But, I also halfway-expect cops and prosecutors to look the other way if the victims of this kind of crime ends up being the kind of people they'd be disproportionately policing and convicting anyhow

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

It literally already passed that point. The headline details the elements of a crime.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Yup this is about what I expected.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 months ago (2 children)

isn’t this something else that is illegal? It’s so irresponsible for Trump and GOP to constantly use bullying tactics to silence people. If something happens, Trump and GOP are responsible. These people have become full on terrorists

It'll only get worse if he is elected again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He'll make sure he never leaves and picks his successor. It will literally be game over

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I doubt it. There are far too many that will keep up with tradition. I do think he wants to do what you are saying though.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

These people are TOTALLY NOT RACIST but think it's ok when a Black Child gets gunned down for no reason but it's NOT ok when a white guys gets found guilty in a court of law by a jury of his peers.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I propose: dox the Trump voters!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can't, they dox themselves, but you can throw eggs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

their houses and cars are easy to spot too.

also, red caps in a crowd.

Poor Carmen Sandiego.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Luckily for Carmen Sandiego she can be anywhere in the world.

“Miserable”.

Only takes one extremist in the bunch to do choose to do something violent.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but all of the people who are trying to hound juries are, in fact, extremists.
