Waking up to “we’ve got to turn the temperature down in this country”, the absurd new mantra being uttered by both Democratic and Republican electeds. The “temperature” is high because Trump and his Republican crime syndicate were, are, and will be an existential threat to secular, pluralistic constitutional democracy and rule of law.
@heidilifeldman I turned off ABC News Live because they said that violent rhetoric is coming in from across the political spectrum. They are fanning the flames of hate and anger. I woke up to people of Facebook calling for roaming mobs to hunt down "leftists".

So.... just another average day on FB, then.

Speaking of hateful rhetoric, trump is the one that loves spreading it. I don’t imagine his getting shot in the ear will tone him down, either.

On the contrary. Even though it was a 20 yr old Republican that shot him, he’ll still blame Biden & the Dems. Trump will now be as rabid as a cornered bull in a bullfight.

@heidilifeldman
Well said. It's about time the "others" among us --that is, the *actual numerical majority* of people that aren't privileged straight white men-- boil over.

@heidilifeldman Days ago Alex Jones was asking for Biden to be killed.

Where is the media on this?

The political violence is being funded by some of the richest people on the planet to buy America its first dictator.

@heidilifeldman they say that, and just listening to their Project 2025 push and the Heritage Foundation guy saying there won't be violence as long as we go along like good sheeple.

This is the United States of America, we suck at going along like good sheeple.That's never been our MO.

@heidilifeldman @hacks4pancakes “We’re all looking for the guy who did this”, said the man with the flamethrower.

@heidilifeldman If this isn’t about climate change, I don’t want to hear it.

@heidilifeldman :cosign:

And unfortunately, that crime syndicate has reached the SCOTUS, which has now cut off peaceful means of holding them responsible.
