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?
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Yes, it does. Good guys with the best excuses for inaction are the problem.
buncha pussies, try placing that in front of my face. Only leftards try and hide their faces because they know they’re a buncha gutless cowards and cant say it straight to a Trump MAGA supporter.
Left wing terrorists are getting bolder.
The skull looks like Lincoln.
“And they wonder why we need AR-15s.”
You win the Internet. That poster just summed up why there is a 2nd Amendment.
MS-13 and muslim terrorists create chaos and mayhem that the dims want to take advantage of. They have armed security, so they aren’t scared of the animals that they have imported to this country.
Us out here in fly over country have to contend with home grown criminals, imported criminals and now the democrat party’s radical anarchists.
Disarming us would destroy this country.
Not going to happen.
This is another reason why we have the Second Amendment.
NAZI’s did the same, and also tried to close down free speech.
Pelosi needs to reign in her radicals and tell them to stop this nonsense and hatred.
I’m looking to get myself a Tavor
I’m thinking I need an AR style rifle in 9mm and an AR-10. AR-10 parts kits have gone way down as the popularity goes up.
This flier is both bad in words, AND imagery.
Bet anyone if THIS flier turned up at our college campus, we staff would not hear a peep about it from our commie apologist enabler president, who alerts apeveryone to every “white” flier and small carving on a desk as a sign of imminent white supremacy threats. Even though only one appeared and basically no one saw it. But she has to tell everyone and sound the alarm!
I’ll bet there are some leftist peons who would be with the “death camp” movement for real. However, the leftist planners, looking down from their high rise offices, would love to see somebody overreact to the posters, and thereby give DeBlasio or Wray an excuse to have people arrested. You can imagine how the media would cover it.
I like the SA-80 too and it is very accurate. I just like that kind due to it’s small size, but it would be nice if it were 9mm as it would be cheaper to shoot.
Jews who are conservatives are armed is more accurate
The friendly, loving, leftists. As long as you agree with them, all is fine. Disagree with them and they are just like their mighty leaders, Mao, Stalin, Lenin, the North Korean leaders, ole dead Chavez of Venezuela, Obama, the Klintons, disagree and they want you executed. Simple as that.
Yes it does. I may be late to the party but I really do think Trump has delayed their plans to crash the system and take over. All their supposedly “woke” support is in place and the ultra left are ready to hang the bankers. I keep having flashes of Animal Farm and 1984. At this stage Orwell seems like the best prophet outside of the Bible to me. I was watching a discussion with Jordan Peterson and three others the other day and they were talking about continual growth and hierarchies and although they did a good job of saying things my continue they did it with great reserve and even nervousness because there is no accounting for veracity of those who so keen to bring in a new socialism and a New World order. The thing is that it can be done in a virtual world before your very eyes.
I see we’re at the “we were just consciousness-raising” stage. They’ll be blaming Trump supporters next. No sale, pal.
They have already done the dehumanization phase. The severed head of an effigy of President Trump as "humor." Reducingx us all to names like "Deplorables" or "Racists" or "White Supremacists." Then the film The Hunt----only art, of course.
This was in The Sorrow and the Pity. An exhibition of drawings of alleged "subhumans" with Germans showing "great interest" and so on.
Then it will seem easier and palatable to the daily video game ultra violence bred millennials and their 40 year old parents to kill as many "bad" examples of us as they can. I have heard these games involve hunting and joyfully killing as many enemies as possible. I never played one.
The tech leftists are dropping accounts,deplatforming,demonetizing and shadow banning the thoughts they hate (conservative). A modern example of: "First they burned their books. Then they burned the people.:
And then there’s this
