@d9766f53 January 6th is a result of his actions and he will do worse whether he wins or not. The biggest issue is not Trump; it is the fact that any American would consider voting for Trump and call it freedom. That is serious sickness on par with Nazism. We have to firmly rebuke violence and the amoral silliness it takes to be so easily led by Trump. We have to deal with his followers head on. Rebuke them for following him and calling it freedom. All Americans must pick a flag:

I also consider those #evangelicals - including Robert Jeffress, Franklin Graham and James Dobson, who referenced #civilwar as a threat, rather than rebuking those who threaten death, to be stochastic #terrorists.
I will never apologize for saying so, because they are not sorry though they owe US repentance for wielding threats.

@6c65d362 Just like Jeffress and Graham before then, they are not condemning violence and standing up to their base base and showing any leadership against violence at all, instead they are fanning the flames and giving themselves plausible deniability. They are using abuser tactics and it is evil. Nazi level. They WILL be responsible for genocide if they are not rebuked. The fact they participate in violent rhetoric, not condemning every manifestation of it, tells US all we need to know. 🤷♀️
