    The Fauci hate from Trumpets is absolutely bizarre. Trump hired Fauci for his Corona virus task force. Trump could have fired him at any time.

    So let me get this straight, a lady in Texas upsets an insurance company and gets arrested for threats. Someone makes, hangs, then posts this and it’s fine?

        the word threat is just used to hammer people you dont like now.

        the texas lady was “threatening”

        Apples to Tomatoes, but I lost my reddit account permanently because I said “If Trump was to do something insane, like start aiding Russia, thats how you end up with a dead president” and some snowflake took exception to that, and said I was making threats against his idol.

    You don’t need to be a Christian to question the mental stability of someone who decorates their home with lynched effigies of people they hate.

    So I’m confused, is saying you want the elite to die something the right-wing talking heads are in favour of, or is it beyond the pale? Because they’ve gotten awfully inconsistent about this one in the past few weeks.

      You referring to Luigi? I thought even republicans were supporting him. (Voters anyway.)

        The tweet in question came from a (former?) US Republican congressman. Derrick Evans. He was also there on Jan 6 if a cursory Internet search is to be believed.

    It’s barbaric for sure, but isn’t that Christian behavior? For starters, they decorate their rooms with a replica of the mangled corpse of their savior. Same with any cross symbolism, really.

    The best part is how the person would have gone to so much effort, organization, time and headaches to find those little dolls that look like the politicians they wanted … if they couldn’t find them, they probably had them custom made … all to hang on their tree like this and post it online.

    Damn, my inlaws wanted xmas photos of all the family holding guns. They did this before. Even at the time i thought, “i dont think this conveys good will towards man” as well as you may think. I just wore my anarchy raccoon shirt :)

    It honestly seems like the sort of thing the MAGAts would try to turn into a new american tradition, the lynching in effigy of whoever they declare enemies of the state.
