Threats? We have people murdering their parents. How about violent actions.
*Still a good article worth the read.
There are probably thousands of times more threats than actions.
The point is that the MAGA movement is already extremely violent. Their threats are being carried out. The issue is bigger than idle “threats”. The actions of these domestic terrorists have already warped life in America.
This isn’t a contest of what’s worse. The point of the article is that the threats are making it so that people who are critical to stopping Trumpism afraid to the their jobs, meaning they in a lot of cases they don’t do their jobs. The acts of violence aren’t going to kill enough people to cripple the left, but the threats might actually terrorize enough people into standing idly by while the fascists take over.
Don’t use one problem as an excuse to write off a related problem because it’s “worse”.
Especially when a relative few people being killed isn’t actually worse than a fascist takeover.
(Yeah, I said it: people dying are acceptable losses if the alternative is fascism.)
Which is definitely not a good thing either way.
Wait what this about parent murder?
Of course given it’s the current NYT a follow up article noting how this is bad for President Biden will surely follow.
I mean emboldened fascist ideology normalizing violence to achieve political ends is bad but Biden is old so they’re basically the same threat.
I see you didn’t read the article.
MAGA is the largest terrorist threat this country has faced since the 1860s
Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims.
Good. Fucking. Point.
“You keep speaking, and I’ll stand guard.” We need more of that. Much more.
Yeah, that’s an A+ officer

That’s a funny way of saying shoot them
That’s called PATRIOTISM! Unless LIBRULS do something similar like Protesting in which case THAT’S Terrorism!
