*chit chat* Excuse me.Can someone please tell me in what way do MAGA Republicans "embrace political violence?" I'm really struggling to understand this whole association and for the life of me I cant find one single example that would support that claim.

Usually a provocative claim like this can be readily backed up with facts and figures from multiple sources, but I cant find a single one. Since this is coming from the "commander in chief" and broadcast to the entire country, who is it that is going to step up and finally ask "where is the substance to this "political violence" claim" and also the claim that "MAGA Republicans threaten the very soul of the United States?"

It cant just be simple 'projection'...not something this serious. Who tf is going to just listen to this stuff without saying "now wait a damm minute...." Not me.

Right.

The fictitious concept of “words as violence” must be (selectively) asserted and established as (bizarro world) reality in order for this ruse to function as intended.

Without video evidence proving that Rittenhouse was being pursued with utter menace and obvious threats of violence and death, it seems likely that the prosecutors’ murder case against him would have succeeded.

The fact that he successfully defended himself against the unjust charges brought against him has the feel of a secular miracle.

Using slavery alone as the cause of the Civil War is lazy; it was symptomatic of the problem facing the primarily rural South against a more heavily populated, more industrialized North. Most Southerners couldn’t afford slaves, and the treatment of blacks in the North before, during, and after the Civil War doesn’t support the claim of being saviors. Two slave states fought for the Union, and their slaves were NOT freed by the Emancipation Proclamation.

Regional differences were the root of the problem, even as far back as the War of 1812 (in which New England states threatened to secede as their trade was threatened); to many Southerners, the DC government had simply become the new Redcoats.

I’m there with you. I work with a bunch of woke idiots that spew the same crap. I used to think they were stupid but I have come to the conclusion they’re pissed off at life or God and need to take it out or blame something else. We are it…the media and left are lying and getting innocent people killed.

The left believes that verbal expression and even thought may constitute violence.

Lincoln promised an amendment to guarantee slavery in the southern states before the war. He didn’t free the slaves until several years into the civil war. And he wanted to ship all blacks back to Africa after the war. The enlisted may have done so over slavery but the politicians did not start a war over it. Control and tariffs were far bigger concerns.

They may be referring to the swarming of the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021.

That’s because there isn’t one.

It’s called dehumanizing propaganda. Do you think Jews did the stuff the Nazis blamed and scapegoated them for? Yet the German people believed it because propaganda when used repeatedly and with authority works.

The left has control over the institutions of society; when those institutions all agree on a politically motivated propaganda line, many people will accept what they are told as if it is undeniable truth without questioning anything—and then go back mindlessly to their bread and circuses.

This is of course why Biden repeats the lie that Trump supporters murdered people on Jan. 6. It’s his Reichstag fire lie, and he and the propaganda media have convinced many Americans that it’s true and no questions ever need be asked about it. A large portion of the country doesn’t even know that the cop Biden claimed Republicans murdered died of natural causes, nor that the other dead were all Trump supporters. It doesn’t matter any more what the truth is when the radical left has control over the government, media, schools, entertainment industry, etc. and they are willing to use those institutions to propagandize and slander anyone who opposes them.

The answer is east. The very presence of MAGA Republicans forces the Marxist left into committing acts of violence. Thus it’s our fault.

“They do not respect the Constitution”

This from the political party whose ideas and legislation that has been overturned by the courts as unconstitutional countless times over the past 150 years.

Whatever. It WAS slavery. Deal with it. A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery. In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict. A key issue was states' rights. The Southern states wanted to assert their authority over the federal government so they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering with the South's right to keep slaves and take them wherever they wished. Another factor was territorial expansion. The South wished to take slavery into the western territories, while the North was committed to keeping them open to white labor alone. Meanwhile, the newly formed Republican party, whose members were strongly opposed to the westward expansion of slavery into new states, was gaining prominence.

Because what they FEAR the most is MAGA Americans. It is all about FEAR and CONTROL. We impede that control.

MAGA Americans want small government because we have the ability through God to be moral self-governed persons. We DO NOT NEED a big government to live our lives. We live and move and have our being through Jesus Christ and His example of being a man on earth!!!! This blows their mind. We use our minds for God’s firm foundation from The Word God gave us in the Bible. They freak that what He said thousands of years ago, that what Jesus did on earth, etc. and we have The Holy Spirit if we want it!!!

When political violence is forced upon you your options are limited to embrace it until toy win.
