This is normal.
This is normal.
Speech is protected from government action in the United States. This is a good thing. Are there limits to that protection? Absolutely, but the bar is exceptionally high. This is also a good thing.Maybe I'm getting dumber with age but I'm not understanding at what point "freedom of speech" and "being wrong" cross over into a place that needs to be halted. I don't see any flat-earthers organizing against NASA. I don't see UFO enthusiasts jumping the fences at Area 51. But this seems different. I mean anybody with eyes, ears, and a brain to process it should be able to figure out where speech like this will lead. It's not like it's never happened before. I'm not super sure that letting this whole "freedumb" thing work itself out is a great idea this time around. I'd suggest that this all needs to be nipped at the bud but it's already grown into a tree of life and muh history is telling me that it ain't gonna be pretty. I'm no scholar, I'm just some guy who never finished his bachelor's degree, but I think we're past the "don't worry about them, they're just being silly" phase.
🤔Talking Points MemoTPM asked Sharp by email about the monologue, noting that it seemed to embrace executing thousands of people for purported election crimes. (Sharp had asked his viewers, “How many people were involved in these efforts to undermine the election. Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?”)
“No, neither myself, nor OAN is ‘embracing executing thousands of people,’” Sharp replied. “OAN is simply pointing out that if election fraud is proven, then it could very well constitute treason. And according to our laws, treason is punishable by death. If it is found that government officials coordinated with foreign countries to overthrow the election, then that would be the very definition of treason. Which, according to our nation’s laws, could result in execution.”
He then helpfully directed TPM to the federal law defining treason and its punishment, death.
“These are simply facts,” he said. “You may disagree with the suggestion that election fraud was committed. However, it is indisputable that the US has laws which lay out consequences for committing certain crimes, including treason. This report is only making that point clear.”
This is normal.
Lul at advocating for their own demise
"Look, I'm just asking questions here."Classic defence; I didn't say I wanted it, I said what if..
So, political version of “It was just a joke bro!”When pressed on his comments Sharp denied calling for the executions of tens of thousands of Democrats.OAN Host Who Mused About Mass Executions: I Was Just Discussing The Federal Legal Code!
The One America News Network host who mused about the possibility of mass executions of Democrats told TPM Thursday that he was simply reporting on the potential legal ramifications that would exist…talkingpointsmemo.com

Black clothes = Antifa.Kinda seems like she hasn't seen the video.
Living in Utah, I know a cult when I see one, mainly because our state is run by one, and yes Trumpians/QCumbers/Whatever are a cult.I mean that's a cult is it not? Refuse unapproved information.
Just testing out a theory of mine, does she enjoy the author Dan Brown?I have a close relative who is ranting to me about being ready to fight and die to "save this country" from democrats. She doesn't put it exactly that way, she says democrats are communist and ruining the country and trying to allow china to take over, and that she'll fight and die to save the country from... people who do that. I can put two and two together in this case. She believes that the election was stolen, that critical race theory is a chinese communist takeover, that the democratic party is trying actively to destroy the country, and that antifa orchestrated January 6th. She says she supports Trump.
I've taken the time to explain exactly where the problems are, and she just... meanders around and comes right back to where she started - zero progress. She'll say something, and I can show her citations that clearly explain why she's completely incorrect, and her response amounts to "yea but still" and she'll repeat the wrong thing she just said.
It's not politics. And I use no hyperbole when I say that it is a cult. I send her an ABC article showing her exactly what I'm talking about and she says "ABC is leftist propaganda". It's not even political, just a factual article that can be cross checked. Heaven forbid I send her the one from CNN or NPR. Her information sources are so constrained, and her web of conspiracy theories is impressive. Every question seems to be answered with another nested conspiracy.
I mean that's a cult is it not? Refuse unapproved information. Base belief on theories that lack evidence, and in some cases are unverifiable. Elevate the belief above your own well-being, and be ready for violence to defend it. She's a cultist. I guess I should be glad I haven't heard about lizard people in skin suits, but honestly it wouldn't make the situation much worse. She views over half of the people in this country as her mortal enemy.
If I go back, even decades back, I can see the seeds of this. Not just politically, but in personality flaws. She has always been prone to these kind of cultist movements. A lot of pseudoscience and pyramid schemes. I took the time to explain that stuff too, and was met with basically the same type of response. Refusal of information, insistence that I'm brainwashed or indoctrinated, and repeating the same pseudoscience or pyramid scheme junk.
Her cultist following of Trump is not making her happy either (and neither did any of the other stuff). It's making her miserable. Nothing but stress, alarm, anger, panic. It's ruining her life. It's very hard to watch her destroy her life, while knowing exactly what the problem is, and be seemingly powerless to stop it.
I'll try to remember to ask.Just testing out a theory of mine, does she enjoy the author Dan Brown?
Also, does she have any passions/interests in life besides online activism/conspiracy theories?I'll try to remember to ask.
It is not.It's not politics. And I use no hyperbole when I say that it is a cult.
It is.I mean that's a cult is it not?
I literally said exactly that in a message to her just yesterday.I've made my feelings clear and it's important that ALL of these people are told, repeatedly, on every occasion that those people who stormed the Capitol on January 6th are NOT Patriots.
That's exactly how I felt every day that he was the President.It's making her miserable. Nothing but stress, alarm, anger, panic.
