The good news is I haven’t heard about a big Antifa attack or protest this past week.
The bad news is the trend seen in three stories from the last week.
In order of increasing seriousness.
In North Dakota, a town hall Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer, protester got “hands on” with the Congressman over the health care bill.
Republican Congressman Tom Garrett has received a number of death threats, including threats against his wife and children, as a result of the health care bill.
MONETA, Va. — “This is how we’re going to kill your wife.”
That’s the message Rep. Tom Garrett (R-Va.) said he received in a series of recent threats that targeted him, his family and even, at one point, his dog. And it’s the reason, he said, that his town hall here in this sleepy Virginia community on Tuesday night was ringed by law enforcement.
The high security presence, Garrett said later, was the result of threats that Capitol Police, state police and intelligence officials “have deemed to be credible and real.”
A woman in Tennessee recognized Tennessee Republican Congressman David Kustoff driving on the highway and tried to run him off the road.
The woman was arrested. Since then, she has become a hero to Progressives.
The antis used to love calling gun owners insurrectionists. We were always the threat to the public and democracy.
Yet I can’t find a story through Google of a NRA member trying to run Diane Feinstein off the road or getting handsy with Chuck Schumer.
We’re 114 days into Trump’s presidency and some on the left have begun attacking, actually physically attacking, Republican politicians. From social media, what we’ve seen there are many more people who support this, if they don’t engage in physical violence themselves.
Again I am forced to ask, what is the end game here? Do they think they can force Republicans in deep red districts to change how they vote through threats?
I believe that is is such a lack of respect for our government system that they would rather destroy it if they can’t control it.
I’m just not sure if they have though about what the ultimate result of that looks like.
I want to watch my shows next week and the week after that, if they push this, I won’t get to any more. I won’t get to live in peace and fuck off like I want to. I will be very very upset when my family members die in the aftermath of what could happen. I will take it very personally.
I said this to a buddy who got threats in Facebook for some wrongthink:
“Tell him ‘ “Never fuck with people that can do Sub MOA for fun.’ “
“I believe that is is such a lack of respect for our government system that they would rather destroy it if they can’t control it.”
I disagree. It’s been my experience that most folk love the system as long as their guy is in charge.
The CSGV ‘Insurrectionist Timeline’ hasn’t been updated in ages and no word from Ladd Everitt on all these ‘traitors to the gov’t’.
It will continue and escalate until there is a response from those sick of it. Kind of like the ‘blocking road’ protests we’re seeing a lot less of as people are getting run over.
