Wow, Eric, talk about projection. Hammerman was one of your acolytes responding to the hate and anger people like you convey in your cartoonish diatribe.
Your whole thing is about hate and anger, from your cover image to the content you put out. You are the inspiration to those like Hammerman, who heard your dog whistles and acted on it. People like you own this.
It’s too late for Republicans. The demonstrated behaviors and ideology against women, embracing of racism and bigotry, and pointing fingers at everything and everyone except themselves isn’t working outside that MAGA base.
The MSM didn’t create the evils of the Republican Party. The Republicans did.
It’s GOP rhetoric that leads to violence as in January 6th, the persecution of the Sandy Hook parents, poll workers, and now Nancy Pelosi’s husband. It doesn’t get any worse than that.
‘Don’t blame ‘both sides.’ The right is driving political violence’ – washingtonpost.com
1)Trump married QAnon in September. (How many conspiracy theorists were leading the charge in the first hours of this breaking story to express how little they cared about Paul Pelosi’s welfare?)
2)Tucker Carlson has transformed into Alex Jones, mainstreaming his brand of paranoia just as Jones himself is being somewhat sidelined by lawsuits and other trouble.
3)Trump has conflated the IRS and the FBI in the minds of his followers, so they have trained their sights on any and all government agents. This is a dream for ‘90s-era militia folk. Can you imagine having half the Republican Party actually hate the government? McVeigh could only have hoped to have struck such a blow. Militia-like activity, such as we’re seeing in Arizona right now, is being normalized by the right wing at this very moment.
4)Elon Musk now controls Twitter. This represents a sea change. We already know all the racists and others similarly twisted came out to play after the takeover went through. Musk has come out as Troll-in-Chief.
How about the former Republicans (eg., Michael Gerson, Jennifer Rubin, Max Boot, just to name a few) who are extremely vocal about the Republican slide into fascism.
Now that the dangerous extremist right wing has adopted the hammer as their symbol, all they need is a sickle to complete their agenda. It really is about russia, it was not a hoax at all.
There some clues that strongly support the statements about the end of democracy. 1. TFG looking for loyalty in key positions causing multiple appointments to Attorney General, Secretary of State, Defense Secretary etc. while placing loyalists with questionable competence in Energy, Education, Commerce, etc. 2. The appointment of a great many RW judges who seem to be expected to toe the leader’s line even at the SCOTUS level. 3. The attempted coup and attack on the Capital on January 6, 2021. 4. The BIG LIE. 5. The Executive Order allowing Civil Servants in key policy making positions to be replaced with individuals with no experience or knowledge as long as they are loyal. 6. The disregard of judicial orders and subpoenas. 7. The theft of sensitive documents. 8. Clandestine meetings with foreign operatives.

The suspect gave a statement to Detectives. he admitted he broke in, in an attempt to question and assault the Speaker. He found Mr. Pelosi asleep.*
You cannot often completely destroy a lie being spread as thoroughly as this. However, when you can, it is a time that should be relished.
