The Republican call for violence

 WhoWhatWhy -  Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fascist-FL) on Saturday became the latest prominent Republican to say the quiet part out loud and call for the use of political violence to achieve the GOP’s agenda. Addressing a crowd at the Iowa state fair, Gaetz suggested that “only through force do we make change in a corrupt town like Washington, DC.” Fittingly, he stood next to former President Donald Trump, who is the undisputed champion of calling for violence… although he usually does it a lot more subtly than Gaetz....Vivek Ramaswamy, who is currently running third in the race for the GOP nomination, tweeted that he distrusts government and is in favor of revolution.... 

According to research published earlier this year, an estimated 12 million Americans believe that the use of violence would be justified to restore Trump to the White House. Not long after Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol, nearly 40 percent of Republicans agreed with the statement “if elected leaders will not protect America, the people must do it themselves, even if it requires violent actions.”
