I’ve never lived in a place where the people in power took over in a coup. But, when I read about them, I never hear of the people who live there sending bomb threats to judges who are siding with the perpetrators of the coup. When a group takes power in a coup, they’re normally ruthless, they kill people who threaten them, and they make it clear that dissent won’t be tolerated.
So, these MAGA / Q-Anon types believe that Biden took power in a coup by stealing the election. But, they also believe that it was such a soft coup that they didn’t bother to jail or kill Trump. It was such a gentle coup that the only “political prisoners” are the people who stormed the capitol, and then only after long investigations and public trials. It’s such a kind coup that they are happy to allow demonstrations, TV networks that oppose them, discussions on the Internet that they can’t control. These people also think that they can get away with sending bomb threats because the regime that took power in the coup is even softer on crime than the typical government, which would arrest people who sent bomb threats.
How do you send a bomb threat to a judge without thinking are we the baddies? At some point you have to stop and think: our side is doing X, their side is doing Y.
“our side”
"their side"
Sacking the capitol
Stealing an election
Sending bomb threats to judges
Killing babies
Abusing presidential power on day one as retribution against enemies, but only for one day
Charging Trump in several open criminal and civil trials
Paraphrasing Hitler
Charging and trying people who rioted on Jan 6th in normal, open criminal trials
…
…
Like, how do you make a list like that and never once consider whether your side might be the baddies?
