As I mentioned in another thread, action needs to be taken at the Federal level come February. Put every one of those fuckers on the “No Fly” list and open DOJ files on all of them for “Suspected Terrorism.” Then don’t take any action other than to watch what happens when they try to visit Grandma or take out a mortgage or get a security clearance or apply for Federal Assistance of any sort. ---

Are these what is known as “shy Trump voters”? ---

> [@Drum\_God](#): > > This strikes at my heart. This is not some far-off land. This is my home. I drive on Interstate 35 all the time. My wife is from New Braunfels, where some of the video was shot. I am from Austin. In fact, I’ll be driving a (not a campaign) bus on this very stretch of I-35 tomorrow morning. This is my home. Well and sympathetically said. Has anything like this happened outside of banana-republic dictatorships or Soviet-era totalitarianism? Incredibly, Trump’s response was to tweet “I love Texas!”. I fear that the next few months are going to be ugly. ---

So it’s a fact that the republican party is the party of white supremacy? Hmm, I’m pretty sure that that assertion is actually the opposite of a fact. It gets a pass, like many many other broad based attacks while others don’t because this site is becoming more and more of an echo chamber. It’s just never been so explicit. ---

Instead of clutching your pearls, do your small part in showing the GOP is not a party of domestic terrorism by condemning the OP reported actions of Trump supporters and GOP loyalists. ---

> [@eenerms](#): > > Cite that Reps are all white Supremacists? The claim is not that all Republicans are white supremacists. The claim is that the vast majority of white supremacists, likely over 95%, are Republicans. It’s like claiming that the Democratic Party is the party of Black people. When someone says that, they aren’t saying that most Democrats are Black. They are saying that most Black people are Democrats. ---

Trump is doing nothing less than fomenting domestic terrorism. I find it disturbing that anyone could possibly claim otherwise. ---

No surprise here: > [@](#): > > At a rally in Michigan on Sunday, Trump said a group of his supporters in Texas was “protecting” a Biden campaign bus when the group allegedly tried to run the vehicle off the road, going further than he previously had in endorsing the actions. > > Trump’s remarks at the rally in Washington, Mich., came one day after he approvingly tweeted a video of flag-bearing cars surrounding a Biden campaign bus on the road. The Biden campaign says vehicles with Trump flags attempted to run its bus off the highway on Friday. > > “Did you see the way our people, they, you know, they were protecting his bus yesterday,” Trump said Sunday. “Because they’re nice. So his bus — they had hundreds of cars. ‘Trump,’ ‘Trump.’ Trump and the American flag.
