Everything Trump intended to do was clear long before July 2017.
Incidentally I could have sworn this was something we already knew he had done, but possibly it’s just so obviously something he would do that I’ve been taking it as given. Certainly he’s advocated similar violence in public context with cameras rolling.
During the protests last year, for example, he advocated retributive police murder — and not in the abstract, but giving his blessing to a specific example.

He pardoned a war criminal who murdered civilians. A sheriff who ran a desert concentration camp.

He encouraged New York police to brutalize.

He told stories praising apocryphal supremacist war crimes.

Full page ads calling for the execution of the Central Park five.

And of course this.

This is a man who believes authority killing and hurting civilians is good.

“Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man.

You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.

“Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man.
Again beyond the fact that compromise with fascists is philosophically undesirable and morally unsupportable, it’s also impossible as a simple practical matter.

They desire only domination. They believe only they are legitimate. By definition this leaves no room for compromise.
Since the Obama presidency represented an 8 year commitment to compromise proving definitively that compromise with Republicans is impossible, it’s simultaneously horrifying and frustrating to see Obama’s VP waste the first year of his presidency needlessly re-proving it.

As expected he pulled strings to receive extraordinary treatment unavailable to anybody else, then used his singular example to downplay the risk and encourage more people to engage in high-risk behavior.

Trump murdered people for his own ego. Pig president. Genocidal monster.
Support for Trump is such an unforgivable moral failing. It shouldn't be accepted in decent society. It should make a pariah of anybody who engages in it. It should be political death. It should be shunned from religious institutions.
Absolute psychopath. The day after the Supreme Court celebration, Trump had also

There’s this almost pathological instinct among comfortable people in this country to pretend Republicans aren’t an authoritarian anti-democracy white supremacist party, no matter what Republicans actually do, which is as scary in its own way as Republicans themselves.
Seizing upon any available detail about individual Republicans and making of it a blanket exoneration, while scolding others as “painting with too broad a brush” for the offense of noticing the fascist agenda Republicans are persistently, strategically, actually pursuing.
Insisting that Republicans will never really do the things they’re already doing at every level of government.

Pointing out you’re making a statement about tens of millions of people—as if large numbers conveyed innocence, as if vast numbers make the threat somehow impossible.

When we opened up incarceration to the profit motive, human incarceration became a product.

And capitalism demands that all products grow.
Before allowing capitalism to be involved in anything, we should first decide if we want it to grow.

Even we do want growth, before allowing capitalism to be involved, we should place clear boundaries on how much growth we want, and what should take priority over growth.
Capitalism is a rough beast that desires slavery and will kill to get it. It should be handled as such.

This is true of all terrorists.
The fact that an organization is making a martyr of one of its own fallen, dead in a terrorist action, and using them as a recruiting tool, tells us that it is a terrorist organization, and the delicate dance being performed around this fact is frustrating and dangerous.
To some, Timothy McVeigh, who was executed for the Oklahoma City bombing, was a terrorist. To others, he’s a martyr and seen as a recruiting tool.

Same same.

Just so you understand what Republicans are, this is a mainstream Republican. If you are Republican and you think this doesn’t represent you, you are a fringe Republican. It’s not pleasant but it’s true. Elected Republicans are catering to him not to you.
If you’re a Republican and the sort of thing disturbs you, the way you stop it is by leaving the republican party forever.

if you’re a Republican and the sort of thing disturbs you, and you don’t leave the republican party forever, no it doesn’t actually disturb you.
