The avatar of one of our new righty posters which shows a Republican shooting a Democrat in the head (I guess that's okay) was the catalyst for this thread, because it is demonstrative of the new way of thinking on the right. To wit, the new attitude seems to be..... who needs courts, laws, or institutions, we'll just address our grievances with viollence. I don't like socialism, so I'll shoot a socialist in the head with my GUN!!! I didn't like my back surgery, so I'll go and kill the surgeon with my GUN!!!! I'm pissed at that judge, so I'll just go and kill him with my GUN!!!!
This macho, testosterone fueled bullshit has taken over the right. It is brute force over thought. If you are a Republican, you don't talk, you SHOUT!!! You threaten other posters with violence. You talk about 'taking out' your opponents. You love candidates who are toting a gun in their commercials. Don't like who won the election? You grab your weapons and storm the Capitol. Don't like Dr. Fauci.... go for the 'kill shot'. A US Congressman tweeted out an image of himself killing the President of the United States and another member of Congress. Nothing happens.
This is a frightening and dangerous trend, and you see it every single day represented on social media and right wing media. It encourages violence, and it is certainly fueling the skyrocketing incidences of right wing terrorism.
Why are Republicans incapable of anger management? Why do they believe that violence is an acceptable replacement for the rule of law?
