Oh sure they are all for due process up until this.

I could hear some guys in my neighborhood outside yesterday talking about how this won't effect the election. One of them yelled out "Well at least the republicans are the ones with the guns!" Everyone just kinda got quiet and looked at him like he was an idiot.
Remember he's not the only dangerous one. Every vote counts, and all of them are voting red.
My maga friend told me to stock up on food come November. Dude is fucking brainwashed by beanie man Tim Poole
Just when I think Tim Poole can't get dumber, he proves me wrong and gets dumber.
I worked with a guy who was appalled that I was buying go fast parts for my car instead of stocking up on guns and ammo for the upcoming war. He also had his neighborhood mapped out as to who are the democrats so he knows who to go after first. I asked him if he thought democrats don't have guns too and he just stared at me. After a bit he just changed the subject to a racist rant about rap music.
You should report him to the FBI and your work. The statement is enough to probably get him fired and with luck his gun horde will be illegal when the FBI comes knocking
For the longest time I thought this was solely a matter of education; but these days, I'm beginning to think such right-wing extremism is also a matter of mental illness.
Things like poor parenting, brain injuries from football, lead exposure from guns and motorsports, substance abuse, shitty diets, etc. -- all culminate in a banner of people who are... Not of sound mind.
Saying this as a former rural Appalachian Republican from decades ago.
Edit: added "solely" for some clarification.
I agree that a lot is mental illness but I think it's more education. They fall for the lies and get in line and do what they're told to do by sources like fox "news". It's scary how it's changed, I had Republican friends that we could all hang out and even discuss politics with no problems. Now, we don't talk at all, there is no discussion. I am the enemy and I don't even care about politics, just be a good human. I don't think you can be a good human and support the Republicans at this time, it's gone off the rails.
You're likely right that education is still the prevailing issue, but I think we need to get more specific on what kind of education people receive in terms of safeguarding against false rhetoric. Drilling in the logical fallacies, teaching ethics, and even teaching common propaganda techniques so you can identify them. We need to step back and ask ourselves how we managed to escape the rabbit hole when others could not.
The echo-chambers have become so ironclad that it's so difficult to pierce through and drag someone out.
They really love to change subjects a lot don’t they
Is Tim still pretending to be a "centrist" nowadays?
He says he’s left leaning with liberal tendencies 😂
Its already too late for them. The idea would be to scare future jurors. Its not like hell only face one jury.
Anyone calling for doxxing should be tracked down and arrested like the terrorist they are.
Gosh, I hope they were instructed not to carry cellphones into the courtroom.
They want to make sure that the next jury thinks twice about convicting. Truly chilling and completely unsurprising after Trump has been stoking them with lies every day.
Time to throw Ronald McDonald in prison.
FFS, stop letting him get away with everything.
Ronald has a white face though. He also has a charity, too.
He's more of the anthropomorphized annoying orange, but with a following of racist rednecks
Terrorism: The unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.
But I thought terrorists were only non-white non-Christians? I’m getting a MAGA migraine wrapping my head around your comment. /s
No, I’m sure that’s right. They made a number of prime time tv shows proving it. /s
MAGAraine.
That's the lesser form of a MAGA reign.
