“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s--- is out of control.”

“I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”

And that's not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!

When someone tells you what they are, believe them.

One of the blondes pulled a smooth heil wave during that, and we’re still pretending they’re just a differing political party.

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 172 points 5 months ago

Gee, I wonder why people think Trump supporters are fascists.

[-] resin85@lemmy.ca 76 points 5 months ago

It's astonishing how quickly republicans have aligned to the behaviours of the Nazi party of the 1930s. They're leveraging trump's conviction exactly the same as the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to turn the power of the government against anyone opposed to them.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

They've been working towards that since the 1930s literally. They planned their own coup attempt largely in the image of Hitler's 10 years after his beer hall putch. Wealthy American robber barons and elected fascist, I mean Republicans planned to overthrow FDR and replace him with a business/ fascist friendly dictator. Only to do even worse than him and get caught and humiliated still in the planning phase. As a result they took a step back and decided a slower approach would be better. And have spent the last century slowly cranking up the fascism. Till today when people are finally starting to realize nearly a century too late.

Conservatives are a threat to stable and peaceful societies, and an existential threat to the whole human race due to their climate change denialism. As long as we continue to pretend that conservatism is a valid political ideology and not psychopathy and sadism packaged up to look like politics, they'll continue to undermine democracy and peace until they get the genocide(s) they keep clamoring for

In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.

We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – [narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy,] all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 134 points 5 months ago

Conservatism should be openly treated as the deadly, dangerous ideology that it is. It produces only bigotry, oppression and death.

In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.

They're a little late, the conviction has happened. If they wanted to interfere with the outcome of the trial they should have done that before the verdict. Silly treasonous fascists.

[-] caffinatedone@lemmy.world 51 points 5 months ago

They're not silly at all, they're thugs. They want to influence the next one by showing the cost of going against them.

Now, we're lucky that they're mostly grifting, incompetent, blustery cowards, so the risk isn't what it could be.

They don't care about cause and effect, they are just angry and dumb.

I'm glad the jurors have been smart enough to stay quiet. Now that the verdict is in, there is nothing keeping them from going public with details about their deliberations, but they seem to have all agreed it is best to keep out of the public eye. I wonder if the two lawyers purported to be on the jury advised them of that.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them already has an advance to write a book about it, which we will see eventuallty. I wonder if they get to keep their notes.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 68 points 5 months ago

They absolutely should remain publicly silent until sentencing, personal safety aside. Publicly expressing opinions could be used in an appeal as argument for influencing the judge prior to sentencing.

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

On the flip side, the judge should absolutely use Trump violating his gag order to express his opinions about the case and those involved to impose prison time as part of his sentence.

Gosh! It’s lovely to see that they are such calm, reasonable and intelligent people.

[-] yggstyle@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

No, see- they already know that the votes to convict were miscounted. They are currently on a crusade to overthrow it 😅

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 52 points 5 months ago

Imagine simping for this ugly, rich loser. I’d kind of get it if he was at least hot. Part of me thinks these simps are fake people that Trump and team created.

[-] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Mostly fake, foundationally created by pootin to get his favorite puppet elected, and to foment civil war.

And the uber-loser maga simps bought and jumped all in to racist christofascistlandia.

[-] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 43 points 5 months ago

These people are nothing, but a bunch of unhinged cowards. Fuck'em.

[-] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 21 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

No, some of them are also insurrectionists who've already tried to overthrow their government once.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Yeah I'm not really comfortable with people just blowing this off as nothing more than people blowing smoke.

It will absolutely escalate, I believe trump will absolutely straight up tell his followers to do something and they'll fuckin do it.

Can someone please create an organization called "Pride Boys" and make them so popular that searching for "proud boys" on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 39 points 5 months ago

Disgusting but not too shocking knowing his supporters nowadays.

It's only fitting for the man with the best words to finally get a sentence

[-] SickofReddit@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

I counter attack with, using their names to create an online fund raiser to make these reasonable people rich.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

Notice how there were never any big protests or demonstrations at the actual courthouse.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Looking at a few different NYC election results, about 25% of the population votes republican. Meaning statically 3 of the jurors should be republican. I am sure it could get more granular when you cross that with their occupations.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 months ago

Yeah but it's not a purely random sample, because of the jury selection process.

So we can't really say anything in a statistical sense. I'd guess (not based on any statistics, just common sense) that there would be a higher percentage of independents in the jury than there would be in the general population. At any rate they would people that likely don't think about politics very much. With Trump, if someone is politically minded at all they'd have a strong opinion on Trump (one way or the other) and would be likely disqualified from being on the jury.

Anyway the point of jury selection is to not be a random sample, but a group of people that aren't biased for or against the defendant. The polling on the general populace doesn't have the requirement to not be politically biased to participate, so we can't use statistics for this.

Sorry for being being that guy, but proper use of statistics is important to me! Sorry!
