    How Republicans Learned to Excuse Political Violence

    They used to oppose pardoning the thugs of January 6th. Now they say it’s fine.

    Jan 24, 2025

    HOW DOES A POLITICAL PARTY get comfortable with the use of violence? How does a constitutional democracy drift toward authoritarianism? The answers are right in front of us. It’s happening in the United States.

    On Monday, his first day back in the White House, President Donald Trump ordered an end to the incarceration or prosecution of anyone involved in the January 6th insurrection. He granted commutations, with instructions for instant release, to fourteen people convicted of seditious conspiracy or other crimes related to orchestrating the attack. He also issued “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

    Hundreds of people had pleaded guilty to, or had been convicted of, assaulting police officers in the attack. Many of their crimes were recorded on video. Trump pardoned them all.

    This wasn’t what Republican leaders had expected. In the week before Trump took office, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President-elect JD Vance had signaled that the pardons wouldn’t extend to those who committed violent crimes. So when Trump crossed that line, congressional Republicans had to decide whether to join him.

    With few exceptions, they have.

    This is a significant moment in the transformation of our country. The party that controls the presidency and both houses of Congress—emboldened by a Republican-appointed Supreme Court majority that has granted Trump broad immunity from prosecution—is exempting its supporters from accountability for political violence, including assaults against police.

    How have Republicans rationalized crossing this line? Let’s examine some of their excuses.


    continues.....

    The worst part is that the QtRUmplican sycophants don't care as long as libs are owned and the wealthiest get wealthier.

    😂 Enjoy your higher taxes/costs due to “progress”. Half the US is too stupid for words.

    You really believe these tariffs are designed to stop drugs and illegals from coming from Canada?  You cannot be that daft. 

    Trump has talked about re-creating the tax structure of the Gilded Age.  Of course you nor he knows anything about the Gilded Age (or that it's called that) but that's what he references and believes America was at peak economic condition, which is totally ridiculous because it was a time of oligarchs and the poor.  Please educate yourself, a bit.

    You're going to start hearing the phrase Robber Barons again, because that's what we have with the tech bros coming to power.

    They are needed here, and also as a trade partner. Better go fill your tank today and understand that hearing republicans complain about inflation got tiresome, and now you voted for more of it.

    Actually WW1. The real change was the implementation of the federal income tax. That’s what Trump really wants to eliminate. And replace it with tariffs. It’s crazy.

    I plan to.

    But honest question: why do you and many like you take pleasure in the supposed misery of others? these mythical liberal tears you seem to relish so much. why would you be happy about your fellow american/citizen/human being miserable? I can understand wanting your chosen political party's agenda to come to fruition, but why is the suffering of others so important to your happiness?

    and pain for all (you DO know that includes trump voters, too, right? tell me you understand this), as admitted to by your fuhrer:

    Trump on truth social this morning:

    “THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA! WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!),” Trump wrote on Truth Social

    ahh. confused that with the roaring 20's I guess.

    but I thought the income tax was instituted by lincoln to pay for the civil war effort?
