Hope I'm wrong
Last night on Fox some of the talking heads were talking about ‘cancel culture’ and one of them spouted, “when you don’t let people speak, that leads to violence.”
Besides using part of a Bill Maher episode out of context, (journalistic standards, what journalistic standards?!), the trained seal speaking gave a clear and not too subtle direction to some of their audience—if you can’t be heard, get violent.
I’ve been expecting to see something like this—the repubs have done everything to get and keep the white militia vote, and like true republicans, your going to see and hear more of the talking heads raise violence, with a wink and a smiling nod, as a way of influencing the November election. It will be framed as a ‘sad but inevitable--a NATURAL RESPONSE--to the ‘evil democrats’ who want to destroy America.’
Fox will transition from encouraging fascism as the ideal moral form of government for America to directly advocating armed revolt by ‘all right-thinking peoples’ with democrat candidates in the cross hairs. But first they will probably target their most articulate critics.
Trump WILL go in November, but the ‘blood and soil’ crowd will NOT go quietly, and some of them are retired military.
Here’s to hoping I’m wrong. Stay tuned.
