So they ALL know that their own base are terrorists.
They are always acting like the real terrorists are things like BLM or anti fascists. But they always end up telling on themselves.
So they ALL know that their own base are terrorists.
It's not like they were hiding it.

"I just wanted to deport brown people, take away poor people's rights and make myself incredibly rich. I didn't expect consequences"
- some whiney ass Republican
Edit: Article doesn't list a single politician who is actually leaving. Vaguely references "another" after "another" without any actual names. Feels like a bait to try and wait it out until all the bad apples leave.
I think you misunderstand where the threat is coming from. It's not the consequences of mistreating brown and poor people, but rather of not mistreating them enough. The far right are sending death threats and fire bombs.
Strangely the other side just takes it. Or goes to one demonstration every few months. From the outside I don't really see pressure put on politicians to not mistreat others. And no I don't mean fire bombs and death threats from the left. But certainly more and stronger action than happened till now.
Has any media outlet asked these Republicans who exactly they are afraid of firebombing their houses?
Has any media outlet asked them whether the FBI should investigate these threats?
If not then the media is complicit.
The media had been complicit for a long long time
The really funny thing is that the same people who have acted threatened by Antifa and LGBTQ+ for years are running from the base the second they take one tiny step away from pure orthodoxy
Well of course. They knew all along that they've been cultivating a base driven by unreasoning fear and hate, and they know full well how violent such people can be.
There was never a moment when the politicians pushing that fear and hate didn't know they were full of shit.
But I was Told DEMOCRATS are the Violent Ones?
Face the monster you created you cowards.
The fuck did you think would happen?
The so-called "party" of the GOP is going to need a witness protection program for their own politicians.
So they admit that judge’s house was firebombed for ruling against trump
More governments need to fear their citizens.
There is a big difference between fearing you’ll lose your job vs. fearing you’ll lose your house with children possibly inside.
Regardless, these GOP members are fearing violence from the far right side of their party.
I mean the local ultra maga nut job "vandalized" his own house (I seen't it happen with these four eyes) to spray paint let's go Brandon on his own garage and fence. Did a very poor job too, had terrible can control.
While I fear they may lose it and get violent, a larger and more realistic fear is that they'll have an unintentional discharge somewhat fatal. I like his wife and kids (they think he's nuts too).
...and walking right through the ol' revolving door into the lobbyist world?
Por que no las dos?
(Why not both?)
-A famous taco-shell commercial from a few years ago that has suddenly become relevant.
A cursed picture for an accursed party...
I've been using it a lot
Member ls of the face eating leopard party being surprised “I didn’t mean violence against my political party”
