On social media and web forums, users called for jurors, judges and prosecutors to be killed after the former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts.

“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s— is out of control.”

“I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”

    I understand you are opposed to violence. In most circumstances, I am as well. My opinion on the use of violence changes, however, when it will be used against my loved ones.

    Seeing the violent threat that conservatives pose against the normal people, and seeing how it has played out over and over again throughout history, it is obvious to me that the threat is deadly real and must be stopped. Force is, unfortunately, the only way conservative oppressors have ever been stopped.

      Violence is a last resort. I don’t see how you can be sure of any opinion like this unless you can know the future. Knowing history doesn’t mean you know the future.

        I think our best method of understanding our current position is to understand our history. If history is our guide, attempting to respond with violence after conservatives have secured supreme power will be ineffective without outside help.

        There is no one coming to save us. We must save ourselves. We will only be able to do that by acting before conservatives achieve their win-condition.
