And you were just scratching the surface of the history of violent rhetoric from the right.
There was Rep. Gosar’s animation of AOC being killed Gosar.
There was Trump and Trump Junior mocking and making jokes about Paul Pelosi and the assault on him by an assailant taking a hammer to his head.
Then there was Trump at one of his rallies, saying “knock the crap out of him, and I’ll take care of your legal bills.”
And this is just three more examples of so many times the MAGA morons have used violent rhetoric and imagery. I’m sure there are many many more examples.
Thanks it really stands out when you put it altogether. As a student of that period, I feel like I'm reliving it - I've felt that way since about 2016. The echos were clear from the start. There is a global war element today as there was then. There is the use of democracy to gain power. The rhetoric is interchangable. Except this time the fascists are here at home too. There is no America to come save America.

Thanks for reminding us just how violent and vile the right wing leaders have been with their rhetoric.
Germans also believed that the sort of fascism they saw under Hitler could never take root in their country.
