“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s— is out of control.”
“I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”
It’s astonishing how quickly republicans have aligned to the behaviours of the Nazi party of the 1930s. They’re leveraging trump’s conviction exactly the same as the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to turn the power of the government against anyone opposed to them.
They’ve been working towards that since the 1930s literally. They planned their own coup attempt largely in the image of Hitler’s 10 years after his beer hall putch. Wealthy American robber barons and elected fascist, I mean Republicans planned to overthrow FDR and replace him with a business/ fascist friendly dictator. Only to do even worse than him and get caught and humiliated still in the planning phase. As a result they took a step back and decided a slower approach would be better. And have spent the last century slowly cranking up the fascism. Till today when people are finally starting to realize nearly a century too late.
They made the mistake of trying to recruit Smedley fucking Butler to their cause. That action alone speaks to the clear lack of intelligence behind the business plot.
I am unfamiliar with this part of history. Is there a Wikipedia article I should read?
Not surprising you hadn’t heard of it. Little came of it, and those alleged to have taken part never faced any prosecution. It came and went very quietly. It’s seldom mentioned today. But George Bush’s grandfather Prescott was part of the conspiracy.
