The latest round of threats fits a familiar pattern: Trump faces a legal setback, and officials face threats.
In the 24 hours since the Colorado Supreme Court kicked former President Donald Trump off the state’s Republican primary ballot, social media outlets have been flooded with threats against the justices who ruled in the case, according to a report obtained by NBC News.
Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that conducts public interest research, identified “significant violent rhetoric” against the justices and Democrats, often in direct response to Trump’s posts about the ruling on his platform Truth Social. They found that some social media users posted justices’ email addresses, phone numbers and office building addresses.
“This ends when we kill these f–kers,” a user wrote on a pro-Trump forum that was used by several Jan. 6 rioters.
They are too ignorant to realize this only reinforces the fact that this was the correct decision, terrorists be damned.
But now they think they’re being denied legal access to their own system so why would they care how we interpret events?
They need to be allowed to establish a separate country so everyone can live in peace again. It’s the only way.
Lol what?
There are no empty spots for them to claim, and I highly doubt you can draw a line anywhere that would work. They tried that with India/Pakistan and it was an absolute cluster.
This isn’t like the civil war where it was regional. This is a lifestyle divide.
