So apparently the lesson that Trump took away from January 6 was that next time he won’t wait until after the election to try to overthrow the government.
They are likely unaware of The Night Of The Long Knives. In which Hitler’s gestapo orchestrated the killing of the leaders of the[Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary organization that had helped Hitler come to power.
This will be the fate of those that help Trump come to power… He will eliminate the threat. They don’t study history though.
Actually it was Judaism where the people insisted on a king. Christianity is messianic, it’s believed the end can come at any time. But it’s probably neutral on governmental form, since the world is going to be upended anyway.
This. Christian Nationalism sounds great . . . until you find out that you aren’t a “True” Christian.
Insert Emo Philips’ classic religious tolerance joke here.
So he’s playing 3 dimensional chess? I believe this is giving him way too much credit. He just gets excited like a three year old and spouts out what’s in the back of his mind.
Just yesterday I was having a conversation with a Christian woman who is an ardent anti-Trumper. She was grumbling about how Christian Nationalists aren’t very good on the Christian part. I replied they’re bearing down hard on “Nationalist,” the same way National Socialists were heavy on the Nationalist part, not so much on the Socialist.
The MAGAts want you to think that way. They want people to vote for Trump out of this fear. We cannot let them have it this way, because it’s wholly empty and a false threat. @DrDeth is right and they’re not going to do shit - they’re all talk and no effing action. There is certainly the possibility of some isolated nutbar tantrums, but there won’t be another insurrection again - I don’t believe it at all. The best thing we can do to avoid political violence is to decisively elect the Democrat.
I don’t really socialize with my co-workers but I did accept a FB follow with one, who is conservative. She recently posted, “Y’all, I don’t care who this pisses off but it must be posted. There’s a civil war coming. And it’s going to be bad.”
I believe that’s what they are feeding them at Fox.
Oh, Trump spews and throws tantrums like a 3 yo. But he has 1000s pampering, spoiling and catering to his latest whim.
They play the game or end up indicted, or in jail.
One more step and he’ll just go ahead and have the ones who push back killed.
He’s dangerous in his stupidity and the power he yields over these sycophants.
If he loses I’m sure Harris can round up the nutjobs that go berserk and like the Jan. Sixers they’ll get their day in court.
Anybody smart will be prepared before election day for a shelter in place self restriction til it dies down.
You mean the same ones who threatened civil war if the 2020 election wasn’t overturned? The ones who were going to prevent the FBI from executing a search warrant on his Mar a Lago property by any means necessary? The ones who were going to protect TFG from being arrested? The ones threatening the judges and prosecuting attorneys in his criminal and civil cases?
IF any of them actually try anything, they’re going to accomplish jack and shit. As much of a danger to democracy as he is, he’s not Hitler or Mussolini, he doesn’t have a private army of armed, organized thugs doing battle on the streets against his political opponents. The Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord and The Order posed greater paramilitary threats to democracy by far than anyone TFG could get to hold a gun and attack the government, and look how well they did at provoking civil war.
And of course, as others have asked, how is this your biggest concern and not, you know, him actually being elected back into power?
