VF: “In private, Republicans fear Trump might incite his followers to commit violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions… scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff...”

History will not be kind to these bastards.
Cowardly pants-pissers!
That was Trump's posting per Vance. Perhaps Republicans fear this proclamation, interpreting it to be a license for his MAGA mugs to carry out his vengeance on anyone who displeases him. It can also be interpreted as a pardon promise, if needed.

Again, they all freely took their Oath. It’s bullshit “reporting” like this by VF that gives them the permission structure to act like spineless bitches.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
I'm sure Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger have gotten plenty of threats and they're still with us. No doubt it's upsetting to get death threats but somehow the entire Democratic caucus manages to carry on without kneeling to kiss the orange mushroom.
They'd prefer to go with the sure thing.
We will NEVER forget & never forgive!
They WILL be ousted, peacefully, or probably NOT!
No one has a gun to their heads.
They’re in it for the MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I have ZERO sympathy.
However, they still need to get their families away quickly and do whatever else they must to protect innocents. Then, either get away themselves, or fight.
What I'm seeing looks like complicity. If it continues, I wouldn't accept cowardice as an excuse. :/
Why aren't they afraid of desperate backlash from regular people crushed by the crap they're voting in?
(i.e., the ones The Donald holds fast by the "short hairs")...
... poor, poor, pitiful THEE. 😭
NOT.
FAFO, 218 + 53

Scared shitless…
Think about Americans who were just fired… how do you think they feel?
They are more scared about getting primaried.
Mafia Donald will start murdering anybody too slow to kiss the ring.
So of course they will, because they're stupid, greedy, & venal.
Especially now that Putin gave crazyDonnie a handler, fElon schmuck..
Kind of weak sauce when these are the same people that send our youth to war.
The rest of us are out here voicing our opposition, at great risk to ourselves and our families.
They need to take notes.
If you run for office, you have to be prepared for the idea that you might have to show some personal courage.
I've had my body and life threatened continuously since I was a kid, and yet I'm still speaking up, marching, calling, and yes, running in '26.
Like all bullies, they can dish it out, but never take it.
McConnell's 'no' votes during the confirmation hearing speaks volumes. He isn't running again and doesn't care if he goes against his party.
I am tired of republican tears. They KNEW
I understand their fear to a degree because they’ve already seen violence at their doorsteps.
But, with that said, being in power and leadership requires courage. And they’re all cowards.
The cowardice on display is pathetic. They should be doing their jobs.
The fastest way to rid yourself of a #bully is to stand up to him.
It’s that effing easy. This is “The Andy Griffith Show” 101, right?
Stand up to a bully and he crumbles like the weak, terrified, sniveling crybaby that he essentially is.
Suck it up, or resign.
Name names!!
We need to stop Musk.
Do ur jobs
The only thing these "things" are worried about is keeping their cushy job and NOT being painted by history as what they actually are-craven cowards- Just like Felon 47 and his S.African sidekick.
#resist
Republican electeds fear loosing power💰 positions- period.
They trot out this “I’m afraid” to coverup their own rapacious greed+desires.
We have no sympathy for overlords. None.
Uphold your oaths to protect+defend the U.S. Constitution and our democracy - or resign.
1. They are only getting death threats from the MAGA side (that would be fantastic, but given human nature, I have my doubts).
2. They have chosen to use death threats as an excuse to vote the way they were going to vote anyway.
Average Americans don’t get security Republicans get warnings from FBI agents that they’re now firing and defunding
‼️The foreign mob‼️
The art of steal is on and moving at the speed of light.
He’s committing stupidity after stupidity!
Illegally rampaging our laws, constitution and human rights!🤬
#ArrestAndIndictMusk🐀
