"In Ohio, Trump predicted that there would be a 'bloodbath' if he lost the 2024 election, said that immigrants 'are not people [and] in some cases they are animals,' repeatedly referred to President Biden as 'that son-of-a . . . .', said he did 'not give a sh*t' about Republicans who don’t support him, referred to California Governor Gavin Newsom and 'New Scum,' and made a vulgar comment about Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis."

"In a wild rally in Ohio and Fox News sit-down interview, Donald Trump continued to demonstrate this weekend how utterly unfit for any public office he is, how disastrous a second term would be, and how much pain and suffering he would inflict on actual people."

"Trump casually engaged in dehumanizing rhetoric, threats of violence, vows of retribution, and unhinged commentary. Nothing new, you say? Perhaps. But at this point if you can no longer register alarm for the country or for yourself, muster it for those who are and will be direct targets of Trump’s fantasies of revenge and systemic violence."

Quote included in this article:

"Yale historian Timothy Snyder:

"Strongman rule is a fantasy. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won’t. In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. But the vote you cast for him affirms your irrelevance. The whole point is that the strongman owes us nothing. We get abused and we get used to it."

@wdlindsy It's hilarious whenever Republicans talk about 'decorum'.

@MasterMischief I know. I was just thinking about all the years they told us that they were all about "civility" and "morality" and that the Democrats are the barbarians at the gates.

Everything they accuse others of is their own glaring failing and agenda item.
