From RICK WILSON:
1/ This Gianforte assault story is one of those moments where the cultural collapse of the GOP into the Trump Troll Party is captured
2/ First, if you're defending someone assaulting a reporter because "duh lubrul media lies" allow me put the jackboot on the other foot.
3/ How would you feel if the parents of Seth Rich took out a tire iron and beat the living shit out of Sean Hannity for his repulsive lies?
4/ How would you feel if this rule got applied to Trumpbart "reporters" who are lying, tendentious, shitbirds of the highest order?
5/ Is it cool for me to beat that freakish, pasty recluse John Nolte's head in because he literally *joked about my daughter being raped* ?
6/ Are you so past the rule of law, and lack so much confidence in your ideas that this is where you take political satisfaction?
7/ Because if this is where you are, you're not a party; you're a mob. If this is where you are, you're not a conservative; you're trash.
8/ the vast majority of people beating their chests and macho ball-walking on this issue have never been in a fight, never landed a punch
9/ But I guarantee you some of them, including the clickseratives, will defend this even obliquely
10/ the problem with political violence is twofold; first, it accelerates. 2nd, the set of acceptable targets widens.
11/ If you're a Republican or conservative defending this, please stop identifying yourself as either.
