In 2010, Republicans launched a “Fire Pelosi” project — complete with a bus tour, a #FIREPELOSI hashtag and images of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) engulfed in Hades-style flames — devoted to retaking the House and demoting Pelosi from her perch as speaker.

Eleven years later, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) joked that if he becomes the next leader of the House, “it will be hard not to hit” Pelosi with the speaker’s gavel.

For many Democrats, the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband represents the all-but-inevitable conclusion of Republicans’ increasingly violent and threatening rhetoric toward their political opponents — a phenomenon that escalated under former president Donald Trump, who prided himself on his inflammatory oratory and who was often reluctant to denounce white nationalists and others spewing hate speech.

“Sadly this attack was inevitable. Political violence is on the rise,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), said. “And instead of GOP leaders condemning it, they condone it with silence or, even worse, glorification.”

What a pile of laughably stupid bile. Only an idiot like you still reads the WaPo and takes their hyper partisan bullshit seriously. :palm:
 
Is the Republican Party going to kill everyone the people choose in elections?



That’s a lot of killing
 
So I’ll take that as a yes the republicans plan to kill any Democrat the people elect


The threats to Democrats and their families just keep growing
 
The Republican leadership seem to have no opinion on the attempts of their followers killing Democrats
 
The left has made a massive mistake. They have unleashed the beast that is in all of us but in this case the right. The Beast is REAL. It comes from what good men have finally turned into after decades of bending over backwards in the interest of peace, praying for peace even, only to be shit on and told how deplorable they are in every way imaginable. If that isnt bad enuff the beast increases in strength a million fold when thought of as a collective. Tens of millions of people all feeling the same way and feeding off of the righteous anger of each other. You know what the beast is and what it is capable of? Its how little Jimmy from nowhere Iowa who spent his whole life down on the farm and never missed a single Sunday at Church can go to WW2 and slit one German throat after another without ever batting an eye. THAT is the Beast. I wont say its too late to put that beast back in the box,....but Yeah,....its ALMOST too late. If I were the left I would probably start shutting the fuck up pretty soon and start focusing on healing the divide instead of deepening it with yet more antagonist talk. You are picking a fight you have no chance of winning. STOP IT before its too late.
