Fliers reading "Death Camps For Trump Supporters Now!!!" turned up at various locations throughout Long Island, N.Y., this week, including on Republicans' homes and cars, according to Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.).
No community is immune from this political hate. This is happening now in NY-1 (also being placed on my staffers’ homes & cars). Between this, trying to publicly shame GOP donors here & worse, those w hate consuming their hearts are only sowing division! https://t.co/Dpe5tkNotn

Patch reported on Tuesday that a member of a "Shock Theater" group had photographed "multiple fliers" hanging near local businesses over the weekend, but he denied having anything to do with the fliers.
The company said it did not post the fliers and does not know who did. Workers at three businesses on the block told Patch they hadn't noticed any fliers Tuesday.
A spokesman for Suffolk County police said they had not received reports of any fliers on street poles, but that fliers were reported on two vehicles last month. Police are investigating fliers left on vehicles parked on Oak Street in Patchogue stemming from July 25.
On Wednesday, Patch updated its story, reporting that the Shock Theater Collective had fessed up to distributing the fliers "as part of a promotional video for a show."
A member of the Shock Theater collective, a group that creates haunted houses and horror scenarios that people can participate in, on Tuesday said the company was not responsible for hanging the fliers and that it did not know who hung them. On Wednesday, Liam Wallace, who now handles marketing for the company, acknowledged the company had, in fact, hung the fliers, and that the person was not aware of the show. That person no longer works for the collective.
"We had to let go of a Shock Theater member for posting certain things on our Twitter-that the former member should have been using to promote our shows," the collective wrote in a Facebook post. "These certain things won't be brought up because these certain things pertain to something we can't yet talk about."
In another Facebook post, Shock Theater directed the curious to an article at Haunting.net that promised to explain what they were trying to accomplish with the fliers.
The article is about Shock Theater's special summer show, "We the People," where guests play Trump supporters campaigning in the 2020 election before "everything falls apart."
Will Puntarich, co-founder of Shock Theater, stressed that the show was not "a pro- or anti-Trump experience."
He explained, “Trump is basically an atmosphere; this show is about the people living in that world and something happening that could or could not be prevented. It is the simulated real world.”
Rodney Montgomery, owner of The Shadows Haunted House, added: “I think I come from a politically moderate standpoint and Will is very clearly anti-government, which makes the show interesting because you, as a guest, get to see things from both sides. You won’t be shouted at by democratic social justice warriors, or be force fed pro-life, pro-gun rhetoric. You’ll be immersed completely in both camps, and will understand why the polarization of this country is so toxic. That’s why this show is important as an art piece, and a commentary on the modern political climate.”
In a comment on the above Facebook post, the Shock Theater proprietor told an irate critic: "We're really well intentioned people using horror to bring a message of unity." He added: "We're not leftists here. Not by a long shot."
He later explained that their former PR guy had posted the photos in response to far-left Trump-hater Reza Aslan's insane comments on Twitter about "eradicating Trump supporters." According to Shock Theater, the PR guy "was making fun of Reza."
"We want unity. We want peace. Sometimes you need to tell a story to get your point across," he said.
That may be, but in today's media environment, where Trump and his supporters are routinely characterized as scourges on humanity worse than Hitler, distributing fliers advocating for their internment in death camps is maybe not the best idea?
Well, on the bright side, at least these leftists aren’t hiding that they are Brownshirts anymore. They are pushing their violent authoritarianism right up front now.
When a people is psychologically disarmed no amount of firearms makes a difference.
Your comment seems to ignore the fact that there were few Jews in Germany. You could raise ten times the number of armed SA men as Jews if it came to that.

I think it’s good you arm yourself and yes Jews should above anyone understand this even though many refuse to accept this reality
I worked in Ramat Gan and I can tell you they get it too..in Israel
Totalitarian regimes from Bolsheviks to Nazis always disarm the populace and I assume Jews in the Pale were already limited in firearms rights I’d guess even before the Bolshies wrested power from Nicholas
However today Jews like you are around 20-30 percent of he tribe in America
The vast majority are on the other side in this almost hot culture war and will be with the gun grabbers
It’s rare Jews kill one another in wars...they did in the Russian revolution and any number of European wars from Napoleons adventures to the Habsburg wars of dynasty and the Civil War here in America
It’s a hard question but can you kill fellow Jews over liberty and freedom here
I’m pretty sure I know the answer but it won’t be pretty will it
I’d hate to kill my particular kinsmen too ....I get it
Lord knows there has been enough of that already right where I grew up and live now
I understand your points but why do you think I am Jewish?
Yes said “us” last post
But re-examining it I can see how it could be construed as “us
“ as simply gun owners
My bad
Now if you were latkes and applesauce instead of laplata
I guess it means you’re in Maryland or Argentina or Uruguay
La Plata County, Colorado.
I’ll be dadgum
We’re Union the silverton train thread two days ago?
When they retake Congress and the White House—The Democrats will be out for revenge. They will tear down all that Trump did—along with Trump Tower (renamed Obama Tower) Everyone who supported Trump will be arrested and what they have seized by the “People’s Party.” Next stop Alaska Prison camps where hundreds of thousand are sent and few return. Then Canada will be invaded —taken and looted. It will be grim times. The Wall will be build—to keep Americans from escaping to Mexico and Russia for freedom.
I missed that thread. I think I remember you telling me in the past that you know this area.
Sounds like a perfect description of The Little Horn.
Yep.....
I love it when liberals work so hard to ensure Trumps reelection.
Let’s hope they tick off enough people that the Democrap party ends up getting voted out of existence.
It’s called propaganda.
Nazi Germany used the “arts” to normalize the public perception of hatred regarding the Jews.
The very fact that they are creating movies, plays, and fliers calling for the death of Trump supporters should disturb all of us.
Whether we realize it or not, the civil or uncivil war has begun. When Trump wins in 2020 all hell will break loose.
I agree with the thoughts along the lines of NAZI Germany, and they are not idol ones either.
We are seeing the desensitizing of the populace toward mistreatment of Jews and Conservatives.
Our universities should be called out for this.
And any business participating in the creation of racist movies or movies singling out portions of the populace for murder, needs to be confiscated and liquidated.
I’m fine with due process, but Congress should come up with anti-racist laws to facilitate the process.
Mace?
I would suggest skunk spray, but the unbathed antifa types might actually enjoy the smell.
I used to wonder how Hitler got people to kill for him.
Well, we've certainly had that question answered.
More proof that Leftists are the real fascists...
