NOW IS THE TIME: this fool is calling for mass civil disobedience to stop Stay at Home orders. Trump has crossed the last line. All true Americans must say it together now: #TrumpMustResign!

Lets be clear, hes urging people to engage in behavior that will dramatically increase their odds of contracting the virus & dying. This conduct is plainly a grossly negligent deviation from his duty of care to the American people. That would be Negligent Homicide element 1.

I have had to defend myself on a few occasions in my life where there was threat of serious injury. It is not cool, or fun. There is nothing good about hurting another person.
I think that we tend to downplay what it would be like to be in a situation where you have to end someone's life to protect yours or defend your family or other loved ones. We do that because we have not been in that situation. We see it in moves and media and it looks like it is not that difficult because that is how it is portrayed.
I really hope it never comes to that.

It's going to take more than a few Trump-backed armed rallies for Democratic governors to lift quarantine. These aren't spontaneous uprisings, I'll bet. During the 2016 campaign the Russians would social media to organize anti-Hillary protests.

(6,543 posts)I was angry when I read that the trump humpers would be invading my state with guns, without masks, and interfering in our state's hot spot in the Twin Cities. Nothing is more despicable than shutting down traffic during a pandemic as they did in Michigan. Nothing bad enough can happen to the 'resident and his minions to gain any sympathy from me.

This is the high-water mark in these losers lives: armed, standing fast against the heathens and libs, their image as an implied threat, ginning each other up about what freedom-loving, liberty-patriot-fascists they are. Average IQ: 60, give or take.
Ive really grown to hate these people. Theyre on the dark, destructive side of everything. They represent the OPPOSITE of freedom.

what links his observations with modern psych, which sometimes uses the uncertainty avoidance index (UAI) to measure authoritarianism is sex on the wrong brain, which explains that humans are cursed with two hands, and divided brain, but only one sexual organ. associating impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive impulses with the left hemisphere causes greed and the irrational need for closure/certainty, which increases fear and decreases imagination and empathy. eventually early human ancestors went from 50-50 right and left handed to 90 right handed as authoritarian tendencies ('old' world columbus meets friendly 'new' world natives ) won. for most people the sex energy eventually gets to where it was supposed to go with few problems but some populations selected more strongly for it so they there are inherited predispositions for some of the 'benefits' of authoritarian tendencies. it's basically 'human nature' now and normalized but it all comes down to beating it with democracy and hopefully sex education that gets whole populations to switch hands.

(5,639 posts)They most likely have MAGA hats, but that is not a war posture hat.
I've looked into the eyes of several of these so called patriots here in Texas and they are afraid little bullies and need their special blankie when they set out to cause trouble.
These people have very simple, but very dangerous minds. Their inherent low IQ cause them to be extremely belligerent when confronted with truths that are opposite of their beliefs. Intimidation is the only way they can maintain their self worth.
They are both sad and scary at the same time.

(9,090 posts)when democrats and media start naming guys like limbaguh hannity and levin as they scholars and leaders and exposing them as twits hiding behind call screeners and fed by russian amd US billionaire think tanks they will lose the authoritarian certitude their followers feed off to ease their fears
they live in an alternate reality in which hillary's emails are more important than russian collusion, where a few rare actual cases of voter fraud have become armies of illegal immigrants voting for commie democrats, where single payer is communism, where COVID is a liberal plot to take out trump and force socialism - because democrats ignore 1500 coordinated radio stations and the ignorant certainty freak blowhards that repeat the same shit all day for weeks, years, decades
trump feeds off the same dynamic and depends on those 'wise men' to inform him - he and the RW media and GOP politicians know 1500 unchallenged radio stations blow in their sails all day long to reinforce and excuse their bullshit
democrats don't even poll for it and we even let dozens of universities support it

We already know that the GOP will say nothing negative about him.
But the Secret Service took an oath to defend out country against all enemies, "... foreign and domestic." Trump is the most dangerous domestic enemy in American history. The Secret Service should drag him from the White House. It's the oath they took. Yeah, Pence would then be prez, but we'll deal with that later. Right now, the priority is to rid ourselves of a madman.

(34,131 posts)For the first time I registered a Twitter account and sent @realDonaldTrump the message "Resign, you traitor!"
Now my Twitter account is locked. After ONE message! They want a mobile number to reopen it. I do NOT give out my mobile number on the internet. I guess I am screwed and will no longer have a Twitter account.
Maybe I will try to fight it - I did not threaten anyone or use profanity. I just did what a citizen should be able to do, ask an elected official to resign. Dolt45 has done MUCH worse on his Twitter account and has not been suspended.

(3,645 posts)When Lyndon Johnson sensed he was losing support and becoming irrelevant he got out of the race. He knew when to stand down. Trump lacks the good sense to recognize that his time is over. And if he did understand that then his ego and narcissism wouldn't let him get out.

(32,640 posts)It does not matter what the majority of Americans think - even if he tolerated anyone near him telling him what it is.
There is no way he will resign. There is no way that Pence will invoke the 25th, because Pence wants to run for POTUS and doesn't want to alienate his rabid supporters.
We are stuck with him until January of 2021, unless a health issue renders him physically unable to speak or communicate.
Getting out the vote is where our energy needs to be - not demanding what will never happen.
