They are trying to make anyone that disagrees with them the enemy. Anyone that tells them "no".
We must stand united. There are more of us than there are of them.
They will say the Tesla protests justify it. They will say judicial activism justifies it. They will say whatever they think they need to say to keep on board whatever Republicans they think they need to keep on board.
But it was always going to happen.
Comment based on quote from Miller:
"A good portion of the hard left has been violently radicalized. The left must never be returned to a position of national power."
The slow march toward martial law continues.

(6,670 posts)And telling people to vote "Uncommitted" or to run as "Independents outside of the Democratic party" (ie: in opposition to Democrats) and splitting the liberal progressive vote, or weakening the turnout for Democrats... I wonder what effect that might have.

(25,240 posts)This all started with that Georgia psycho Newt Gingrich, who thought it was a good idea to replace courtesy with all-out war on his fellow Americans. He's the one who dreamed up the notion that Democrats and anyone who disagrees with him is the enemy to be destroyed instead of an opponent to be defeated. Instead of calling him out, the GOP imitated him like the little children they seem to act like.
Trump just ripped off the mask of Republican sanity. He's Gingrich on an overdose of steroids.

They are accusing Dems of being violent and radicalized. However they do it with violent and vile language delivering a message of division and attack. They call Dems stupid and robots. The evening shows are full out demonizing of Dems.
Their audience is being brain washed and radicalized. They are being convinced of untruths. They are being primed to act out against all libs and all Dems and what they call the lunatic left. It would be ironic, if it weren't so scary. Because the left leaning have always been the peaceniks and avoiders of violence. The "right wing" has been doing all the gun toting.
It is an upside down world.
