Imagine living in a country, proclaiming yourself as rabidly patriotic, and not even knowing some of its most basic laws.
Its incredibly common place.
Turns out violent threats are not protected speech under the first amendment. Who knew?!
Fuck around and find out.
“Good people of the jury, my client is guilty of nothing more than merely forgetting to append ‘in Minecraft,’ to his statement.”
He specified using pliers. Are there pliers in Minecraft?
I’ve been told there are mods for everything.
This is why you only threaten politicians that are already dead.
For example, pissing on Ronald Reagan’s grave, the deceased shitty actor just to be clear, is still on my bucket list.
Is there a statue of limitations on pooping on bill Taft or do we gotta form a line
The charged offense is punishable by up to five years behind bars upon conviction.
What’s the over/under on this guy getting off without spending a day behind bars?
He’s not rich, so he’ll probably get something.
This is average Joe. He’s not getting airboat treatment.
They’ve really normalized this shit to the point they don’t understand why it’s wrong…
It’s just like 1/6, there’s a few that are serious and dangerous, and they’re hiding among a large group of fucking idiots and using them as human shields.
Normalizing violence is something fascists always do before the actual violence, they’re getting people desensitized to the idea of it.
My dad was recently telling me a story from back in the 90s when he worked in a rural Wisconsin town close to the Illinois border and his co-workers would “joke” about shooting at cars with Illinois license plates. It’s crazy to me just how long the right has had a culture of sharing fantasies about being violent towards the left. It’s no wonder that the vast majority of mass shooters turn out to be far right nut jobs, they’ve been raised in a culture that glorifies violence against people they disagree with.
“What are you gonna do, arrest me?”
gets arrested
Imagine the level of training to attain such a perspective:

Good job FBI, who knows whether he was serious but there’s a reason there’s an exact statute for this and he actually had weapons - not a good look buddy.
It’s weird the personal amount of attention these people give to hating their politicians and wanting to personally harm them. Like, I hate Trump, but really I just want him to go to jail, I’m not going to throw my life away for somebody that detestable.
It’s because it’s All About Them. Their (as fragile as spun-sugar) ego is all-important, and anything that threatens it has to go. And since they wrap their ego up in Being a Republican, and Being a Strong White Man, and all the racist bullshit that goes with that stance, that makes Harris is a physical manifestation of everything they hate. Such ‘challenges’ to their ego cannot be allowed to exist.
