Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
Yeah, I think they made that pretty clear awhile ago. In the interest of keeping their broader coalition together–every last piece of it–they’ve largely abandoned any pretext at compromise and co-existence.
Pushing the moderates away with this was inevitable, so they’ve pivoted to pushing radicalization to try to compensate for that in the long-term. Bolster recruitment with passionate, divisive rhetoric and all. It’s pretty hard not to see some similarities with historical precedent, if you’ve any serious study in history, so this has done a little more than merely raise eyebrows.
The issue is largely that these idiots are a mob and the casual US citizen keeps saying “It’s all talk, nothing bad is going to happen, etc.” When in reality this is exactly how fascism and nationalism began it’s rise to power in Germany, Italy, etc. In the past the Constitution and legal system shutdown these agendas in the US. However, in the last 20-30 years the Republicans have done a lot to weaken and undermine the legal system and set in motion incremental phases that have slowly made this more acceptable to the average person.
In short money in politics through lobbying has allowed a lot of greasing of the wheels to undermine our govt and the average person doesn’t want to be jobless/homeless so they say “not my problem” until it is too late.
Remember when they tried to end elections and install a narcissistic sociopath as dictator by attacking the capitol and doing god knows what to congressmen, setting up a gallows and chanting to hang the vice president, while also planting bombs at the dnc and rnc headquarters while armed white nationalists by across the river waiting to…? Or that time they tried to murder nancy pelosi in her home with a hammer but she wasnt home so instead attempted to murder her husband with said hammer. Or when they tried to kidnap and kill the michigan governor. Or that time dude was stalking obamas house with guns, 600 rounds of ammo, and explosives? This is not a political party, these are full blown fascists using violent terrorist tactics to seize power at all costs and next time they do there will never be a legitimate election in the u.s. again.
