    “It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said.

        Uh, I think those that are inclined have already acknowledged this. The others are very likely a lost cause, if this recent spate of reporting hasn’t convinced them that Trump is a freaking manipulator and crook. Where do we go from here? I don’t know how so many extremists could possibly just, you know, stop being so extreme. Naively, a civil war could fix the issue, but that is the last thing we need–war is never the answer.

            It is crazy that this isn’t a United States problem, either. All one has to do is look to Australia, Canada, and the UK to see that fascism is rampant. I’m looking for those brightest minds, because I’m certainly not one of them.

            The next step is breaking away from them completely and building an alternate economy they’re not allowed to participate in. Left only banks and stores and whatnot.

            If you all don’t, the right will simply take over the institutions you think will serve everyone fairly and boot you out of it, just like they did the judiciary.

        The instant I saw the word “RIGGERS” in his bitch ass post yesterday, I knew exactly what it actually meant. Just more dog whistling fog horn blasting racism from The Cheeto Mussolini. 😡

      Charge every Republican politician who fails to publicly denounce them as an accessory to whatever crimes get committed against these grand jurors.
