Donald Trump's Resume' of Violent Rhetoric Attracts Violence [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-07-14 On January 6th, 2021, Ashli Babbitt died after Trump’s rhetoric from his now infamous Ellipse Speech incited violence at the United States Capitol building. “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he said. Off his supporters went and violence ensued. Following Trump incitement Ashli Babbitt lost her life that day. Fast forward to July 13, 2024. Trump has a campaign rally in Butler Pennsylvania and shots ring out. One Trump supporter is killed and two trump supporters are critically injured. “You know what they used to do to a guy like that in a place like this?” Trump said. “They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.” Donald Trump quote at a rally around Feb 2016. Prescient in a weird, twisted way … No?! Donald Trump wished grievous bodily harm … saying he’d like to see a guy carried out on a stretcher. I guess he got his wish! This is the type of violent rhetoric America has come to expect from Trump since 2016. He still rages and still incites in 2024 even after being convicted of felonies.

His rhetoric is rough on supporters. Go to a Trump rally and die. (Could that be the new Trump campaign slogan?) Ironically, in Pennsylvania it was a young, registered Republican that “lit up” the stage. Watch the GOP spin that. Somehow, they will find a way to blame the Democrats, mark my words. The next few weeks will be filled with online conspiracy theories and make-believe. Will the truth get several rounds of convoluted, distortion to the point it is unrecognizable? That is the general standard operating procedure these days. I expect any moment now to see JD Vance submitting a recommendation that Trump get the “Purple Heart” he has always dreamed about receiving. (Readers please note the sarcasm/satire). www.yahoo.com/… Trump trademark: “Violence”. Just another day in the Trump orbit. In the coming days expect more MAGA rage similar to this … [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/7/14/2254201/-Donald-Trump-s-Resume-of-Violent-Rhetoric-Attracts-Violence?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=more_community&pm_medium=web Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
