When elected officials need to be segregated from the people they serve, they should be removed from their post. You are here to represent the people, not rule over us.
When hillbillies are breaking into homes and killing government reps' familes, something is wrong.
The fact that Republicans have weaponized this particular brand of stupid is immaterial aside from the conspiracy charges.
There is a shortfall here that will create a chilling effect for potential lawmakers to stand up to y'all Qaeda .
Even worse, they’re not even domestic extremists necessarily. Republicans are endorsing Canadian extremists given the recent attack on Paul Pelosi. A Canadian terrorist was the perpetrator there.
The president is pretty segregated from us
There are a lot of psychos out there that want to kill AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, etc.
So are you saying they should be removed from their posts?
That's an interesting thought when you considers that these psychos only think this way because of what the lawmakers across the isle are telling them + fox news
Almost like stochastic terrorism should be fought like regular terrorism instead of given protection under the first amendment.
The cause of it doesn't change the the fact that it's happening. People have a lack of respect for democracy and are willing to do crazy things that no one would've considered before.
Idk if I would agree with that, murder has existed as long as people have. I mean, two of the most significant events in American history were the murders of political figures
So the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and JFK were good events? I'm not sure what you're saying here.
I'm just saying people have always been willing to hurt others
