"This past weekend, Trump turned his violent and dehumanizing rhetoric up to 11, proclaiming during an event in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, that migrants 'will walk into your kitchen, they’ll cut your throat.'"

"It’s not just the death penalty, of course. The Republican Party no longer seems to value human life. We’re all expendable in the service of helping them prove a point.
From their indifference to gun deaths, especially from mass shootings at our children’s schools, to the unnecessary and avoidable deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans because of Donald’s malicious mishandling of COVID, they just don’t care."

"In order to save an embryo, they are willing to allow women to die. In fact, women are dying even when the fetuses they carry are unviable. And to prove their moral superiority, they’ll even sacrifice the lives and bodies of girls impregnated through rape and incest."

Meanwhile, this weekend Vance appeared with Lance Wallnau, who claims that Kamala Harris is possessed by the devil.
As Judd Legum and Noel Sims report, in 2020, Wallnau hawked a $45 Trump-branded coin. He told buyers that the coin was a “point of contact” so that their prayers for Trump could be combined with those of other Christians to multiply them.

"Now his Courage Tour outfit is selling stem-cell therapy at a cost of $3,500 to $6,500 and the promise that this cure "could be what you have been praying for.”
The grift goes with the pseudo-religion. Always.
The "back" to which they want to take us is to a dark period when people babbled about demons and witches and believed talismans would cure what ailed them.

@AkaSci I think it has influence on the some 47% of Americans who incline authoritarian, and I think the strategy is to inflame enough of them to get them to the polls and eke out a narrow victory. How to get people back to reality? I honestly don't know. When people do not want facts, truth, education, but prefer toxic lies and in many cases rancid religion, what do you do?

I have thought up until recently that U.S. executions should be broadcast on national television, maybe even having the jurors or victims push a button to initiate the killing process, so citizens would be confronted by what our justice system is doing instead of sanitizing the execution process behind brick walls. Should it not be done in the light as the Bible says? Doing it in the full light of day might cause shame and lead to the rapid abolishment of capital punishment in the United States of America, I thought. But seeing what MAGA Republicans will tolerate or even celebrate, I now doubt it would cause them to feel any shame. Instead, it might just make me feel even greater disgust toward my fellow citizens. -

@JosephMeyer I fear you're right. Public executions would only delight very many citizens — as they did in the past. Lynchings were not executions per se, though they were touted as such. They were acts of barbaric violence targeting a minority community. But people brought children to lynchings, picnics, took photos and even barbaric souvenirs of body parts of the lynched person — and then in many cases, went to church the following day.

@wdlindsy What a lot of pressure on all those stupid amercans to make the wrong choice. This should be forbidden and punished.

@gbwust By "this," I'm assuming you mean the grift? And, yes, it takes a certain kind of stupidity for someone to fall for this kind of ruse and shell out money for something like this.

"This was an incredibly dark weekend….The incredibly inflammatory language he's using about the 'day of violence,' his increasingly racist attacks on immigrants: we're way past any kind of a dog whistle. …
He is calculating that he can make Americans afraid of migrants, because that's what he thinks about the American people."

On the same weekend that Trump spewed out more dangerous lies about immigrants, speaking with relish about the violence he intends to enact, as Aaron Rupar notes, he posted on social media a prayer to St. Michael. He did this on the Christian feast of St. Michael the Archangel.

Those outside the Catholic loop may miss what he's doing here. This prayer to St. Michael has long circulated in right-wing Catholic circles (which is to say, most white Catholic circles now) as a prayer against the devil and demons, and a talisman against communism. In posting that prayer, Trump is clearly hoping to turn out the white Catholic voters who have, in two election cycles now, voted for him in large numbers.

"Whatever the cause, Trump is increasingly unhinged in public appearances, though much of the press continues to sanewash his coverage. More and more, his rants adopt fascist language, such as yesterday when he either endorsed The Purge or Kristallnacht. Donald Trump looks weak and Donald Trump looks violent, but that is not yet a persistent news coverage theme…."

If we had in place the law Schiff is attempting to get passed right now, Trump would NOT be running.

God decrees that though a lot of folks want to imagine Donald's call for "a really violent day" is pointing to "The Purge" movies:
"It’s not 'The Purge.’
It’s Kristallnacht 2.0.
It started with ‘immigrants are eating your pets’ and he is already plotting to unleash his own private police force to unleash untold death and destruction.
He is known to be a bigly fan of the firing squad."
