I don’t doubt that Kevin Roberts, Donald Trump and their ilk want bloodshed, which is a horrible thing to desire. Whether or not Trump wins, I don’t doubt we’ll see violence, and it won’t be coming from the “Left.” We don’t really have a “Left” in any real sense apart from small groups with more bark than bite, and MAGA has a compelling need to make those of us who don’t agree with their plans enemies.

I agree that the left is not the problem. Also, Biden and mainstream Americans voting for him are not "The Left." Unfortunately, the Dems have allowed the Republicans to define them or even some of them as "The Left" for so long it is impossible to take on now. I have neighbors in Chicago that are "The Left." They homeschool differently than "The Right," and they tell me the left is armed. My mom's childhood friend is "The Left" here in Germany and we have coffee about 4 times a year and I get to hear the positions of the left. That is not what Democrats are, not even the so called, "Left wing" of the Democratic party. A resource someone shared yesterday, which I am gathering, about Project 2025 is the Substack called How Project 2025 Will Ruin YOUR Life. https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/

I recommend reading it if you do and don't read Project 2025 yourself. She is right on the money about what I have read her saying about Education, although so far, I have read that section of Project 2025 and have an even worse picture of what is planned, but at least she gives the Christian Nationalist details that everyone who is not one should understand. It clears up a lot of things.

Linda, it would seem that what the MAGAts describe as "the Left" is becoming "anyone who is left" believing anything tRump after reading and understanding just what Project 2025 and the Republican party are about...which is all of US!

They have redefined us and we sometimes answer to it. STOP THAT

I want to read Project 2025 and I haven’t liked what it has proposed. I agree entirely with your remarks above.

And the MAGA side has all the guns, Kathy.

Not even close

I hesitated when I wrote that, and expected a counter. Yes, you're correct, but MAGA is the party of AR-15s while those opposed are largely armed with burning torches and pitchforks in comparison.

Kathy, Trump showed that he likes to witness bloodshed when he tried to go with armed supporters to the Capitol.

I know. Trump is a sadist, and he sat for several hours watching the bloodshed on January 6. I have no doubt that he wants bloodshed whether or not he wins the election.
