The top post at the online forum TheDonald on Wednesday morning was titled “Fuck Mike Pence. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻.” And chilling calls for violence against the former vice president were rising to the top of the comments thread.
Pence plays a starring role in the new indictment of Donald Trump, which quotes Trump telling Pence, “You’re too honest” after the vice president refused to block certification of Joe Biden’s presidential win.
And Pence met the news of the indictment with harsh criticism of Trump, now a rival for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Pence tweeted that “anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.”
Special prosecutor Jack Smith’s indictment also recalls how Trump, unable to convince Pence to become a co-conspirator in his despotic plot to steal the presidency, instead unleashed a mob of MAGA supporters against him. “At the Capitol,” the court document reads, “members of the crowd chanted, ‘Hang Mike Pence!’; ‘Where is Pence? Bring him out!’; and ‘Traitor Pence!’”
Such dark sentiments against Pence now have been revived, at an online forum that played a key role for plotters of the unrest of Jan. 6. TheDonald is a Reddit like forum for the Trumpiest of the Trump faithful. Both individual posts, and the comments on them, rise based on the “upvoting” of users, giving a glimpse into the collective psyche of the community.
The top comment on the Pence post called for divine retribution against the “traitor.” It reads: “May GOD Strike him down for his lies and treachery to the American People.” But as other commenters piled on, they fantasized about a public execution of Pence at a gallows. “I want to watch his toes dangle in the breeze,” wrote user BigMikesHairyDong.
“I want to stand beside you as witness,” wrote user Totally_Passable adding, “I want to pull the lever.” This user made clear he didn’t want the violence to end with Pence: “I long for the day we the people pull these traitors… out of their seats screaming, knowing full well what is coming to them, and why its coming.”
Instead of recoiling at the call to execute Pence, other users joined the call for mob violence. “No long drops,” said another user, echoing many of the replies. “Humane execution should be off the table.”
Unfortunately I'm right in the center of all of these wacko qtard fucks. I saw nothing but Trump signs as far as the eye can see from my house as little as 6 months ago. But even these people are starting to take them down. I think there's a much louder echo chamber this time around, because these people have very little left to hold onto. I suspect in the real world, many of the supporters of his last election have finally given up. My boss was a supporter, and I've heard personal statements that he won't be making the same mistake this year. The stupidity has just grown too large even for some of the fanatics. And consequences of anything resembling Jan 6th are VERY real now.
The more I think about it each day...the more I'm in awe of just how little we've recovered from 2016. I don't think things will be right until we can get the supreme court fixed, and co-conspirators are jailed.
I wonder if Russian propaganda isn't also trying to kick it into overdrive. Getting Trump back into the White House would likely give them a HUGE boost if the US were to suddenly stop supplying weapons and aid to the Ukrainians, the Russians are likely desperately holding out hope for a Trump rebound and trying to push the idea that he can take back the White House.
The Russian angle is the only plausible shadow factor. It's almost transparent if you're being honest with yourself.
There is many other countries that have an interest in the US being run by an easily manipulated and blackmailed baffoon, that is happily toring down the institutions, that keep the country running. In the same wake there is plenty of billionaires that are eager to increase robbing the people until the breaking point is reached and then fuck off to some island or so.
That's exactly what Putin is doing. Hopefully this gets us time to register voters and prepare for 2024.
He would pressure Ukraine into surrendering to Russia and his supporters would call Ukraine greedy for "Not taking the deal"
"Why can't the Ukrainians just leave the Russians alone? They've killed hundreds of thousands of Russians so far, why are we supporting these genocidal maniacs!?"
It's not far from that, actually. I remember the Washington DC sub had people in there that claimed to be in favor of complete peace and Ukraine should have just left Russia take it over, because that would have been the most peaceful solution.
There is a weekly Q/MAGA/Stop The Steal/Unmask our Children/Stop Groomers demonstration on a street corner near me and it's insane. They recently put up a BAN PORN sign. These freaks want to take away my JO material. I thought this was America.
Now I want to see their browser history
You know at least one of them has a hard drive full of CP.
I've learned exactly what it boils down to. Someone explained it to me when describing what laws are meant to be in America as succinctly as they possibly could.
Laws are meant to protect a specific class of people, but not bind them. The other class of people, laws are meant to bind them but not protect them. Qtards and their ilk simply believe that the right to free speech gives them the right to offend you, but not for you to offend them. If you disagree with them, you are in the "bind but do not protect" class of people, and if you agree with them you are in the "protect but do not bind" class.
When was the last time you heard a reasonable person say they held a political stance, just because the opposing party would be mad because of it? Almost never from me. It's always the UNreasonable ones that do this shit.
I feel like so many people need mental health holds if they've gone this insane. It's just not normal.
