I think this is true.
Agreed. I clearly remember Bush being called a fascist and a war criminal regularly on the internet. He did a speaking engagement in my city after he was president. I remember quite a bit of protesting and people wanting to cancel his talk. There is still quite a few people out there that think Bush should be tried for war crimes.
I do too. It’s the constant barrage endlessly of how patriotic they (and only they) are. For instance I have not seen a Biden sign for months, I still see Trump signs in yards, flags, truck decals…all that stuff I still see every day.
The irony of course being that the Republicans are all about feelings. Many feel Biden didn’t win. No proof mind you, just all the feels.
Is Republican leadership not doing this? They are literally trying to overturn an election based on feelings, correct?
Same here. It's both bizarre and extremely disappointing. Like most people, I was hoping that the Republicans would veer away from Trump after he lost and handed the Democrats a unified government. Nope -- they really like Trump, for real.
Mitt Romney harassed in an airport, filmed and posted by the perpetrators. Trump supporters surrounding and penning in a Biden campaign bus at highway speeds, putting everyone in the vicinity at risk. MTG publicly harassing AOC, even suggesting she should be locked up for not having sufficiently American ideas. Trump supporters marching on our capitol, breaking into congressional chambers, tearing down barricades and assaulting police in the process. Those are just off the top of my my head. Do you have any hard ones?
Do you really see lots of Trump merch/displays everywhere?
Backroad near here…guy had hay bales setup 4 on top 5 on the bottom each with a number and letter 2020 Trump.
I think this is correct. I found this article to be particularly disturbing, regardless of "side"
I hope you didn't pull a muscle reaching that hard.
There's no point, it will turn into the version of the gun thread where people just lob examples back and forth of good guys with guns vs dangers of guns. nobody will probably move from their position.
not sure how I missed where that list came from. 0 surprise there that they would have a list like that handy. 
awe....poor bus. How about harassing Rand Paul and his wife openly out in the street after the RNC?
I was looking through, and it's no surprise how many acts of violence, threats, etc we could find just from the last year over masks as well.
Re: bolded- no one said that, certainly not me. And I couldn’t agree more with the sentence after the bolded.
It’s really no more complicated then that. Weird to ignore the word “kill” in what you quoted and only focus on “screaming” or “intimidation.”
I saw a ton of Clinton and I'm in a very Trump area. But Trump supporters are taking it to the next level.
my bad, I didnt see what you were responding to.Re: bolded- no one said that, certainly not me. And I couldn’t agree more with the sentence after the bolded.
But my post was in response to him saying conservatives and the right don’t harass politicos. I posted a recent example of them doing exactly that.
Even though I disagree with Liz Cheney and Ben Sasse who are very conservative if they were to run in my district or state I would consider voting for them. What would keep me from doing so is that I don’t want the GOP as the majority of both the House and Senate. They voted for much in line with Trump’s agenda. Like Sasse said this is about the “weird adoration of one dude “who IMO is corrupt and evil. That’s a big part of problem I have with the GOP.
That's just flat out wrong. We went through normal order through committee. Took like ten months hashing and rehashing. Republicans put up goal line after goal line which Obama moved towards continually only to not get a single Republican vote in the end. It was delay tactics all the way followed by absolute non cooperation by Republicans.
If I (totally theoretically and only as an example) had a long gun legally in a grocery parking lot and started screaming down your ol lady I bet you wouldn't be quite so blase about whether it was violent. End of the interaction she would be terrified and tramatised. And that's plenty violent in my book.
Right...You're a liberal on the left and you classify violence different than anyone else. Problem is if this person did that, he broke no laws. And while I understand your feelings would be hurt, that's not the same as actually committing violence. If you want to expand the definition of violence to include when feelings are hurt, then yes, you're correct.
That's not how I remember it. I recall republicans posting forth lots of amendments only to be locked out. "Elections have consequences."
Maybe try understanding the question, which was "when was the last time you saw a group of Conservatives harassing a politico in public?" the implication being that they don't do it. It wasn't a comparative question. Actually it wasn't a question at all, it was an order "Ask yourself this..." So I was just following orders. But since you insist on comparing, remind me of the last time "the left" marched on and violently breached the capitol building while threatening to kill sitting politicians?
The entire premise of the ACA was ignoring government run healthcare (medicare for all) or even a public option and retaining the private healthcare system. We started so far towards the conservative position it was ridiculous. The far left heritage foundation plan? Romneycare?
Perfect illustration of Joe's initial post and the points made on the very first page of this thread....as predictable as the sun rising in the east.
Funny how this is exactly what you're doing in this thread, ie following the bus post with the Rand Paul stuff.
Nah, like I said those were just off the top of my head. I mean if I had been really digging at all I would have come up with the plot to kidnap a sitting governor and overthrow her state government for sure. I guess I maybe could have weaseled out of that one by saying kidnapping doesn't necessarily constitute "harassing". So there's that.
This is not unique to the anti-Trump side of the equation by any stretch. All one needs to do is spend 10 mins on another well known board (that shall not be named) and see how palpable the hate is for the left. It’s pervasive and all consuming.
We don't even need to go to another board. I am sure there's a larger % there with the way you are talking, but I can name 5-10 posters here that qualify for the bolded.
I actually apologized for that, I didn't realize the poster I quoted was using that link in defense of something else. Turns out we were basically defending the same issue. I took credit for a "knee-jerk post" there.
Yea, totally different type of danger walking down the street and driving on the highway. You can yell at me on the sidewalk all day. Don't mess with me going 60 mph.
