GOP Fascist party has a lust for violence.

GOP Senate hopeful told supporters they can "strap on a Glock" to be prepared for the intensity of the 2024 campaign and urged military and law enforcement veterans to be "ready," as her race heats up in a key battleground state.”

@GottaLaff it's always illuminating when they want OTHER people to do their violence. That seems to be a trend with the authoritarian minded, internalize the benefits and externalize the risk and fallout. Business, crime, government, etc. All have that model.

Yah, very much an externalities gambit. What is so very weird is watching the followers doing the dirty work and taking the risks, often KNOWING that this is the deal, and that for no reward for taking the risk, they are placing themselves at peril for someone who will disown and deny them the instant the risk turns into a reality.

@GottaLaff Not just for violence - but for a violent coup d'état. These people talk like in every autocracy from Iran to North Korea. In the past, Americans would have fought something like this - not voted for it.

Death threats are now acceptable platforms of the GOP, obediently reported and echoed for days by the press, ignored by their cops.

@GottaLaff @lisamelton Given how Xenophobic the GOP supporters tend to be, it’s ironic to encourage them to strap on an Austrian firearm with a Germanic name.

So peaceful protests are effectively illegal but inciting violence is not? Is it time for someone to tell peaceful protesters to strap on a Glock?

@GottaLaff Gallego campaign didn't quite call this out in their campaign email today, but did call her "dangerous" and a "threat to democracy" who will "say anything". so they are aware of her threats anyway.

@GottaLaff Although Arizona's primaries have yet to take place Democrat Reuben Gallego will likely face off against Lake in November. He will be the only thing standing between Lake and the US Senate. Please support Reuben if you can.

Surely this is incitement to violence and criminal behaviour?

@Christo That's my thinking, but not sure what the law is, precisely

    Well, after a month of biopsies, scopes, bloodwork, etc. I have been diagnosed and confirmed with Legionella (aka Legionaires Disease). Cue the "how the hell did you get this" interviews with doctors, the Oklahoma CDC, friends. I'm just as puzzled as they are!

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @Atticus1956 Holy crap. You can get that from air duct systems, can’t you? I’m so sorry!! Treatable?

    Atticus1956 ,
    @Atticus1956@mastodon.social avatar

    @GottaLaff

    I'm now on 2 strong antibiotics. Hopefully, it will clear. I have to have another CTscan mid-June & more antibiotics, possibly. Scheduled a duct cleaning, but I was questioned about swimming, attending large indoor events, hospital visits/stays, etc. They're really trying to track down the source. It could be anywhere I've been with air conditioning or some type of moisture. It could even be the vegetable mister at the market that goes off while I'm getting produce.

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @Atticus1956 Oh geez. At least you can take antibiotics. If I take them now, I get C Diff.

    @GottaLaff
    Oh no! That sucks. No wonder the flare* ups. What do they treat you with, Probiotics?

    I'm allergic to the 1st one that they wanted me to take. Of course, it's the one with the highest success rate.

    GottaLaff OP ,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @Atticus1956 Ugh, that sucks!

    No, it started mysteriously. It usually starts after an anti. I had taken none. So I must have picked up the bacteria in our travels, simply by touching something, bc it's VERY contagious.

    So no flare ups spontaneously, but then, I took an anti in Jan. for a dental procedure & got it. So I took the anti for the anti (there are a couple) that worked 1st time. It didn't. I took more. It worked.

    They often are not effective though. That's trouble. Life threatening.
