Trump-endorsed Wisconsin GOP governor candidate calls for ‘pitchforks and torches’

[essentialsaltes]

“I believe people should just, just be ready to get out on the streets with pitchforks and torches with how low the liberal media has become,” Michels said Thursday on a conservative talk radio show.

Michels was reacting to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article that reported on him and his wife giving donations to anti-abortion anti-contraception anti-IVF groups.

If you swap pitchforks for the modern equivalent - guns, we've already had this. He should adjust his comments and suggest that they need to get ready to do it again.

Trump knows how to pick losers, that's for sure. His Michigan pick has been in the news for threatening to kill herself and her children (per her ex.)

Well, as least they are not threatening with F-15s and Nuclear weapons.

I prefer Reed Richards. But to each his own.

Perhaps they should. I hear that "MAGA Republicans" are "the greatest threat to American democracy."

I think they are with their challenge to the free democratic process. If one of them loses, they blame a corrupt democratic system rather than them getting fewer votes. Dangerous rhetoric.

Imagine not understanding that your own in-group’s views are unpopular in the general population and then thinking that “hey, maybe some violence would get people on our side (or else)”.

What, no bricks or frozen water bottles, commercial-grade fireworks, or Molotov Cocktails? That's what the pros use!

It worked for the other side. Now they have "equity".

Well, hopefully the pitchfork & torches folk will stay their hand lest they become the monsters they decried in 2020.

Everyone "became" those so-called monsters simply because the real ones needed to be replaced by distractions. Didn't you notice how it was everyone except BLM rioters who were violent, were dangerous, were a threat to democracy, and needed to be investigated? Attention needed to be diverted from the rioters and the damage they caused because they represented a liberal platform, and the way it was done was to simply label Republicans as the domestic threat to focus on. Since then, the BLM riots are hardly even brought up, while Trump and his voters are derided as being the boogeyman to fear.

That.
Really.
Didn't.
Happen.

Even Youtube hasn't censored the many videos that prove it did. Need proof? Go to youtube.com and type in "BLM riot". Plenty of material there, but most not suitable to post here due to language and violent content.

billions of dollars in damages to minority owned businesses, cities partially burnt down, Walmart having to be begged to reopen stores that were vandalized in Chicago, six people dead, the center of a city blockaded with checkpoints, groups clad in black carrying Antifa flags attacking innocent people. Congressional representatives being accosted on the streets outside of the Whitehouse, Chuck Schumer issuing a personal threat to Supreme Court justices on live tv. Cars being set on fire in DC during an inauguration. Federal Court houses being firebombed and set on fire. Officers blinded and injured as Nancy Pelosi calls them storm troopers.

And the reply from the left is, that didn’t happen.

Well, the entire world watched it happen. Don’t hand me a mud sandwich and tell me it is peanut butter.

On July 5, 2020, hundreds of militant Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists returned to again attack federal law enforcement officers outside the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse in downtown Portland. They were masked and dressed in black as they tried to burn down the federal building. They also assaulted construction crews who were working around the clock to replace wooden barriers that were torn down by Antifa rioters the previous night.

How soon we forget…..
