2/ Leaders across the political spectrum have spoken out about the need to depoliticize our fight against violence. GOP Governor Spencer Cox has led the way. But Trump and his lieutenants are spinning a lie. That the only threat is from the left. https://www.theatlantic.com/po...

3/ Here is the latest post from Laura Loomer, who clearly has the ear of President Trump, calling on Trump to use dictatorial powers to destroy his political opposition. This kind of rhetoric is gaining traction in MAGA world, and Trump is now echoing it.

4/ For instance, he is now saying George Soros, a wealthy political critic of Trump, should face racketeering charges. He claims Soros is involved in violence, which is just made up out of thin air. Totally, completely false. https://www.timesofisrael.com/...

5/ We should condemn political violence of all kinds, whether it comes from the left or right or is directed at Republicans or Democrats. But if we really want to be honest, there is much more right wing fueled violence than left wing violence. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/1...

6/ And the Trump/Loomer/Miller narrative that Dems are cheering Kirk's murder or that left groups are fomenting violence is also made up. There are always going to be online trolls, but Dem leaders are united (as opposed to Trump who continues to cheer the January 6 violence).

7/ But the right has been looking for a pretext to destroy their opposition for a long time. Increasingly, the right views the left as an existential to a white, Christian majority nation and thus must be destroyed, as Michael Anton wrote, at any cost. https://nymag.com/intelligence...

8/ That's why it was so important for Trump sycophants to take over the DoJ and FBI, so that if a pretext arose, Trump could orchestrate a dizzying campaign to shut down political opposition groups and lock up or harass its leaders. This is what could be coming - now.

9/ I hope I'm wrong. But we need to be prepared if I'm right. That means everyone who cares about democracy has to join the fight - right now. Join a mobilization or protest group. Start showing up to actions more. Write a check to a progressive media operation.

@ChrisMurphyCT lol r u scared?

@ChrisMurphyCT Your people murdered Charlie and you want to make us the bad guys? Lmao get over yourself. I don't want to unify with people who hate me

@ChrisMurphyCT @ChrisMurphyCT, you and your Organized Crime Democratic Party, and your wealthy bureaucratic masters, Alex and George Soros, among others, have been advocating and supporting violence for a significant period of time. You and most of the corrupt political establishment are a

@ChrisMurphyCT You guys murdering your political opponents seems to suggest something dark is already here. You absolute sick fucking clown.

@ChrisMurphyCT Political violence is unacceptable, full stop. The tragic killing of Charlie Kirk should remind all of us to reject hatred in every form. But the narrative Trump and his allies push, blaming the left and demanding it be “dismantled,” is both dishonest and dangerous. It is a

@ChrisMurphyCT The day before the assassination you gave an interview where you said that "we are at war and must do whatever is necessary." Would you care to clarify exactly what you meant by that? Are you under the belief that warring parties typically come together and "unite?"

@ChrisMurphyCT Hey @grok, did @ChrisMurphyCT say the democrats are in a war the day before Charlie Kirk was murdered by a trans ally?

@ChrisMurphyCT Shut up faggt....should've thought about that before you and your ilk inspired a nutjob to murder Charlie, and then millions of your supporters celebrated. Gloves are off now.

@ChrisMurphyCT You literally said "we're at war" the day before he was assassinated. Shut the actual fuck up.

@ChrisMurphyCT Your side believes words are violence and celebrates the assassination of someone for free speech. I think you folks are the problem.

@ChrisMurphyCT The violence around the world is at the hands of far-left-wing extremists — not just in America. I’ve yet to hear you, or any of your ilk, condemn any of it. Rather, you point the finger at moderates like Charlie Kirk, call them Nazis, racists, far-right extremists — and fill our

@ChrisMurphyCT Shut the fuck uo you demented criminal bastard!!! YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!!! This kind of talk!!! THIS!!! The @fbi should be all over you!

@ChrisMurphyCT We cannot unite Americans because you communists are no longer traditional Americans! That’s why the Rosenbergs were put to death and any American that helped Soviet communism ! We seen your reaction to Charlie getting assassinated, we cannot ignore what is blatantly obvious

@ChrisMurphyCT Democrats could barely contain themselves after Butler. The media ran stories within hours about how maybe Trump deserved it. Now with Charlie taken away from us by the very mentally ill people you folks glorified any chance of "unity" has vanished.

@ChrisMurphyCT This is left wing violence on display, and lefties are disgustingly celebrating his murder. Leftists want the average right leaning person dead, it's obvious. The left needs only to look inwards to find the political violence inherent in the system.

@ChrisMurphyCT Seriously dude shut all the way the fuck up. So sick of your bullshit

@ChrisMurphyCT What a shameless piece of s*it. The Brian Stelter of congress.

@ChrisMurphyCT you are one of the most responsible for the discord you have LIED NON STOP

@ChrisMurphyCT Listen to you, pretending not to be a lizard person who hates this country and whose only interest is power. Not convincing at all, you horrible slime of a human.

@ChrisMurphyCT You can fuck all the way off.

@ChrisMurphyCT You can go fuck yourself.

@ChrisMurphyCT This you? The day before Charlie was shot You silly stupid lying hypocrite? Did you think that the video just evaporated? We’re in a war, remember? And you’re the enemy.

@ChrisMurphyCT You sir are a fucking gaslighting piece of shit. Oh, and didn't you run out on your pregnant wife for another woman? Yeah, shut the fuck up.

@ChrisMurphyCT Shut the fuck up.

@ChrisMurphyCT Something dark has already come. It’s you and the rest of the vile and violent left. We are shining the light on all of you putrid demons. You can’t hide anymore 😡

@ChrisMurphyCT Chris, you previously said you wanted to wage war on Republicans. You shouldn’t have threatened to kill us. You can always apologize, but I don’t think tithe human enough to do so. Whatever happens to you, you asked for.

@ChrisMurphyCT How can you "unite" against political violence with people who cheer political violence ? Your side OWNS what happened to Charlie.

@ChrisMurphyCT Here’s what did happen: Democrats waged an eight-year campaign of hate and fear, demonizing Trump and convincing emotionally fragile people that he’s a threat, effectively weaponizing them. Here is some you effective recruitment messages: "preparing an assault on democracy",
