Trump-Endorsed Candidate for Governor: 'Some Folks Need Killing'

They're basically screaming "look at the distraction!" and, damn it, it's working. 😔

The problem is, he isn't fit. He's just less unfit. People are frustrated that instead of a normal, reasonable alternative, they have to pick the less ridiculous of two ridiculous options.

I really hate how comments like this frame it. It's a blatant strawman fallacy.

No shit we all know Trump is bad. Hello? He's been saying this shit and doing TERRIBLE things for over 8 years now.

The PROBLEM is that for whatever reason, none of this shit is sticking, even when the media covers things like January 6th hearings, his criminal indictments, his impeachments, etc...

So while Biden's numbers continue to decline and Trump widens his lead, are you REALLY going to sit there and say, "hey guys don't worry, just one more scandal and this time we got him!"?

So naturally since the cult isn't changing, we must change ourselves to improve our odds.

Biden had a raspy voice, tho'.

From now until forever all that the Dems need to say is, "we're not THEM."

The Dems don't ever need to even pretend to stand for anything or to earnestly propose any positive future to their voters.

Biden being unfit and the right being insane are not mutually exclusive. It's akin to choosing the lesser of two evils, and recognizing that they're both evil. Meanwhile people are going around online denying that the lesser of two "evils" is evil because it's not the greater evil.

Not just killing, extrajudicial killing.

I listened to an interview on the Friendly Atheist podcast with two hate-preachers. They both advocated for the killing of homosexuals. I don't think it's as rare as we might hope.

I don't think it's idiocy. I think it's cruel people who delight in doing cruel things. And when a guy like Trump, who has managed to use cruelty to get rich and powerful, comes along and gives them permission to fully indulge their cruellest instincts, makes them feel like it's right and good, they'll follow that person straight into hell. They're so excited to finally be able to go out and hurt all the people they don't like that there really isn't any line they're not willing to cross anymore, no moral they're not willing to betray, to finally get that.

I don't even refer to Evangelicals as Christians anymore. They are two different things at this point. If you look at modern Evangelical doctrine and compare it to the ministry Jesus laid down in the Gospels, they are just about as polar opposite as you can get while still name-checking Jesus. I don't think it's useful to conflate them anymore because real Christianity, using the actual words of Jesus, might be one of the few effective ways left to argue against all this Evangelical nonsense. I'm honestly surprised that the Christians with real faith aren't already out there doing it.

I mean the Bible is full of killing and God telling people to kill. Pastors have been full of fire and brimstone for generations. Preaching against immigrants in the US basically since the country was founded, burning witches and calling for slaves to be lynched.

Having grown up a southern Baptist, I can assure you that religion in the South has always been full of this behavior.

No no, you don't understand. You see when they finally win and are in power they are just going to all seppuku themselves.

It's only okay when they do it because they justify it by using the bible (as they do all their actions).

You can disagree with him, but having the opinion that people who are "torturing and murdering and raping" need to die is not an unhinged opinion. I would say that many of them dying would be a just punishment.

Until the leopards eat his face.

Have you read the bible? There's an awful lot of killing in it.

This article says he's a pastor, but upon searching for confirmation, cannot find it.

Yeah, and what should happen if "those boys in blue" are the ones doing evil things? Some other group should kill them? Seems like an endless cycle. How/why is this preacher considered a good guy?

Yes. And yes again.

"No" and "yes" respectively. The proper reaction is preparation, not "panic."

Democrats do not wield power they're given.

“I’m talking to all of you, here!” continued God, His voice rising to a shout. “Do you hear Me? I don’t want you to kill anybody. I’m against it, across the board. How many times do I have to say it? Don’t kill each other anymore—ever! I’m fucking serious!”

Upon completing His outburst, God fell silent, standing quietly at the podium for several moments. Then, witnesses reported, God’s shoulders began to shake, and He wept.

one? i can think of like 2 dozen by name, and another billion by political affiliation. catch up.

i guess when someone on the internet gives you permission ::eyeroll::

Worst part is people thinking he is brave and voting him for it.

They always say that like it wont be them.
