Storm the nation's Capitol, and try to tear it down?
Try to kill police officers?
Try to kill the Speaker of the House?
Try to kidnap the Governor of Michigan?
Firebomb Democratic Party offices?
Stock pile AR-15s, and use them to intimidate people?
Lend the AR-15s to their kids, so they can go to left wing protests, and shoot people?
Blow up federal buildings with giant fertilizer bombs?
Hold tiki torch parades, wearing swastikas, and chanting 'Jews will not replace us?'
Or maybe just drive around in big, obnoxious trucks, rolling coal on Prius hybrids?
Yeah...best to keep appeasing them, to make sure nothing like that happens.

(19,558 posts)They also seem to think Biden is Satan, or at least in league with him, due to his background being red and him delivering such a powerful speech when they were assured he was in the throes of dementia. Overall, I'm not feeling overly intimidated by the MAGA cultist at this moment.
The only ones I saw trying to use the speech to rile up the MAGA Cult we're GOP politicians and talking heads aligned with Trump and his cultist. Oddly, not a one of them said they don't condone violence or Trump's attempts to subvert democracy.

(14,958 posts)really change that. They will spin themselves up one way or another.
We've seen there's really nothing you can say or do about which these nutbags won't dial the crazy up to eleven. Might as well speak the truth, if that's how it's going to be.
Fucking media gasbags. So tiresome.

(51,584 posts)They only listen to their GQP talking heads afterwards. Their translation is NOT what Biden said, it is their twisted interpretation that the GQP cult will hear. It will be 100% different than what Biden actually said and since the 3 main networks didn't even show it (liberal media my ass). The cult will hear the GQP talking points and nothing else. Fuck the GQP!!! Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This country is dumber than dirt and I am thoroughly disgusted. Thank Dog I chose not to have kids when I was 12. Smartest decision of my life.

(17,982 posts)But I am not afraid of a rag tag mob. Many of the former group have been sentenced or are awaiting trial they are not going any where and the gang is being decimated by the law!
I am glad President Biden called them out, is showing what Democrats have acheived over the last year. He did it with some decent Republicans joining in we have much to be proud of.
Fear is not in my personality. I have survived too much to be afraid of Trump and his gang.

(50,935 posts)You are furious. We spend scads of print and media time talking about THEIR anger. This is the first time OUR anger has been respected and voiced.
They are a threat to us. Who knows what we might do about that?
You are right. Long past time to stop the appeasement and this speech needed to happen.

(53,986 posts)We definitely need to be alert to possible extreme reactions from extremist right wingers. But we have an obligation to hold together our American form of government. It literally says in the Constitution they were securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity. If we can't do that, we're not living up to our jobs as Americans.
So sure, there are reasons to worry. But the fact that there are reasons to worry is the most important reason we need to dig in and defend democracy from the bullies and parasites who are trying to gin up a mob to poach our way of life.
