    Then they need to grow a fucking pair. For all the threats, no one’s actually getting killed (yet), especially Congressmen and judges.

    I’m a total puss, but I’m brave. I’ll stand up even if I’m scared shitless and shaking at the knees.

    Cowards in their gated communities, “But gosh, I might get a nasty email or tweet!”

      Much like the weak lawsuits against these guys, it’s going to continue as long as we allow it. If everyone backs down, why would they ever stop? They’re getting what they want.

      If this isn’t what Republicans want, they need to stick by their principles, whatever they are, in the face of threats. Otherwise they are ultimately complicit in that behavior.

      It’s called being brave because it’s when you do the right thing even when it’s hard or scary. Going in and doing your job when it’s easy is fine, but it’s not bravery.

      And screw this timeline where the supporters of the former President of the United States are doing this and a third of the population is in favor of it and most of the people we rely on are afraid to call them out or hold them responsible.

      There’s no need to grow a pair cause there’s no real danger. If they are scared of Trump’s threats they’re doubly fools.
