I got death threats for writing about heavy metal bands that happened to have women in them. These wealthy politicians need to grow up

Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.

....these pathetic MAGA politicians don't have a clue or care about anything but their own asses
Wealthy politicians need to grow up, but the atmosphere of violence promoted and sustained by the American right wing needs more exposure
It's the job. If you can't do it, quit. Now.
I totally believe you on the SW thing
But what
they don't own things, their things/lifestyle owns them
They're not scared, they're looking for excuses because they don't want to do it.
Great call of their bluff.
No one should get death threats for any reason, but no one also should capitulate to domestic terrorists. There's no reason Gillibrand should defend their cowardice.
I would say just saying, but I don't know if I am allowed to

Yet here we are, again.
If they experience death threats themselves, *maybe* they'll at least want to change laws so that sending death threats results in consequences.
But I won't hold my breath for that. Or maybe they'll do, bit only for threats against politicians...
There's some of that, but also a lot of comments from ppl who understand that the "they" she was referring to is specifically GOP Senators.
But are they all, or just Republicans? We should be hearing about this all the time.
So Sen Kelly should be giving press events about how having experienced the consequence of far right violence he is against trump.
His wife was nearly killed at a rally
The average age of the Senate is 64.7 - WOW down from 65.3 last Congress. These old mostly white on GOP side need to go. No disrespect to seniors, but this doesn’t represent We The People.
Cowards
These legislators need to grow a spine and be more like John Sims.
Srsly
Sorry dudes couldn't handle the fact that ::checks notes:: women can play guitars with distortion very well and sing poetry.
I had no idea that what so many of us live is so terrifying to the sheltered.
