LaffyJeff Sharlet breaks it down for us. This tweet from Higgins is serious stuff, clear incitement, real & dangerous from an elected Republican (fascist) official.
Via the hellsite. #TrumpIndictment
@batyalee 🌿@GottaLaff We can take it as seriously as a heart attack. There’s absolutely nothing regular folks can do, unless you have suggestions. Republicans relish taking the American people hostage in service to their sick hunger for power, money, and attention.
@batyalee Nothing we can do? Vote, be pro-active, call them out, expose them, call your Congress members, help candidates, donate, etc. There’s always something you can do.
@GottaLaff Yes. You're right. Let's hope that doing those things will make a difference. The subject of the screenshotted post referenced taking seriously the threats of violence done in the name of TFG. That's the part that's just really scary.
@batyalee Agree to all of that
Jonathan D. Cope, Esq.@GottaLaff Higgins is a "poser," a person who wants to instigate trouble, but not take responsibility for what he's started.
@Cirdan Yup, but sadly, it only takes one gun nut to pay attention and take him up on his incitement.
Grandpa DonHe may be a simple doofus using jargon to sound tough, similar to the doofuses strutting sround with long guns and ammo belts. But he's yelling "fire" in a crowded theater and should be arrested and held w/o bond, no outside contact except attorney, tried for fomenting insurrection.

Renée@dbc3 This was my read also, a war poseur and militia LARPer talking tough ... but that's the same talk that led to Jan6 too.
@reneestephen You took the words right out of my mouth. He may be an idiot, but so is Trump, and he incited Jan6. Their vile base eats it up and follows orders. @dbc3
Tom Maxwell@GottaLaff @JeriLRyan It occurs to me that, all other venue considerations aside, Ron DeSantis’ Florida was an excellent choice to be the venue for Trump’s Cheeto Militia cosplay revue.
Gene Cowan 🏳️🌈@GottaLaff @JeriLRyan Tiny penis soldier cosplay. So sad and pathetic.
@genecowan Agree, but those very same tiny peni manage to rile up their base and incite pockets of violence, even by individuals. @JeriLRyan
@GottaLaff @JeriLRyan Yes, it’s those individual acts of violence that are the problem. Just as it’s hard to stop a lone wolf terrorist. Collectively, however, they couldn’t manage to put together an actual fighting force that is a widespread threat, and I think that’s one reason we haven’t seen a bigger response to their posturing. Their calls for civil war are a bit… laughable.
@genecowan I agree, unrealistic. Laughable? Sadly, no. They result in too much harm. @JeriLRyan
@GottaLaff @JeriLRyan Well, I don’t disagree. Maybe finding them laughable is a defense mechanism at this point.
Nicole ParsonsReminder, Republican billionaires fund the social media disinformation campaigns that incite violence.
People like Tucker, Musk, and Thiel are paid to amplify the Jan 6 coup attempt.
Fox News and Newsmax are media outlets paid to incite insurrection, partisan gun violence, and domestic terrorism.

James Glueck@Npars01 @GottaLaff pissant Mike Pence would be selling cheap carpets where it not for the billionaire boots that he’s been licking for the last 20 years
Extinction (our fate)@Npars01 @GottaLaff They have been working toward these ends for literally 25 years.
With no oversight from the FCC, tacit approval of a vast network of right-wing foundations and corporate advertisers, grifters, frauds and Federalist hacks, not to mention of course, foreign money.
Ponygirl@Npars01 @GottaLaff They're all trash.
@GottaLaff
I sure would love to hear @jeffsharlet on the @ThomHartmann show to talk about The Undertow & what all the FAUXNEWS dupes are armed & ready to do

Lenora@GottaLaff Higgins is a failed police officer who thinks of himself as a Cajun John Wayne. #louisiana needs to vote him out of office. He’s terrible. He refused to pay child support for his kids. He’s an embarrassment to the state.
nadin brzezinski@GottaLaff @donmelton this is like zero surprise.
michi@GottaLaff He and his colleagues encouraging violence should be removed from Congress.
@michi Kinda hard to remove them when they run the House.
@GottaLaff Wishful thinking.
JD@GottaLaff I don’t understand how a sitting member of congress can incite violence like this and not face federal consequences. This is above and beyond free speech.
@jag0325 Legally, I don’t think so, at least not with the judges and “justices” we have.
LittleScrapsoftheNorth@GottaLaff All I can say is the classic “I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS”
@littlescraps Can’t imagine why.

John_G_R_Wilson@GottaLaff Clay Higgins is a tRUnt and a treasonous seditionist and should be in prison, not OUR Congress.
