The same Republicans who are now saying Dems must stop running ads about Trump's Project 2025 to "lower the temperature" were *cheering* on the Texas truckers who tried to murder Harris in 2020 (Harris turned out not to be on the bus, which the attackers didn't realize) bsky.app/profile/moll...

And the same people were all giggling about the far-right home invader who tried to murder Nancy Pelosi in 2022

I don't think it's this. I think the relevant decision makers are conservatives who agree with Donald Trump, think he would be a better President than Harris would and want him to win because they prefer him to be President for ideological reasons bsky.app/profile/cris...

Interestingly, the trial for that "Trump Train" episode is ongoing right now. Weird how it's barely being covered...

The "tone down the rhetoric" thing feels so weird when it creates moments like this that aren't getting covered

There was also the zillion pipe bombs sent to a bunch of prominent Democrats and that was maybe a two day story tops And they've still never found the person who tried to bomb the DNC on January 6

Rubio made a joke about it. I remember that specificity because he was branded as a “normal” one

And the assault on Paul Pelosi. And they think the images of Biden and Harris bound and gagged in the back of a truck are funny.
