It began with ironic memes. As Tolkien wrote, nothing is evil in the beginning.
As with many things, it all started as a joke. Which is a simultaneously hilarious and horrifying way to highlight the degree of Trump’s vanity and narcissism, and the lengths that it drives him to.
It was an expensive way to teach the world that you can't joke around with narcissists... Especially since we seemed not to have learned the lesson
Narcissistic assholes can, and should, be ridiculed.
Billionaire ones should just be ignored. They have too much power in this society.
Trump is the American propaganda version of a successful intelligent businessman. It was only a matter of time until the country bought its own bullshit enough to elect someone like him president.
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.
Fun Fact: THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE THE 2A
It isn't working.
I've been getting death threats just for being alive since I turned sixteen. I can take a few for saying fuck trump
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.
I was saying “Mooo-oooch”

That's a funny way of spelling 'spineless twats'.
It's because they are morally bankrupt people vying for the devil's favor.
They go around calling themselves Alphas and are literally scared of their Trump and their own base of supporters.
The “come and take it” crowd scared of their own kind.
Death threats sound exactly like the perfect reason to oppose trump.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Anthony Scaramucci, who spent a short amount of time as White House communications director under former President Trump, said more Republicans don’t speak up about their opposition to Trump due to not wanting threats to their life.
“Well, they probably don’t like death threats, Nicolle, I think we could probably start there,” Scaramucci told MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” host Nicolle Wallace on Thursday when she asked him about why some of those who have interacted with Trump directly find it hard to speak up about the “danger” he poses, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
“And so … that could be the number one reason, but … I think with the generals, it has to do with their respect for the dignity of the Constitution and not wanting to bring military leadership into the political fray,” Scaramucci continued.
“[L]et me just talk about my colleagues and friends, because we’re sort of like in this Trump recovery unit together, which would include [former Defense Secretary Mark Esper], [retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff],” Scaramucci said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last Friday.
Scaramucci also talked about a “big” fight he had with Trump during his brief stint in the White House on the topic of “the institution of the presidency.”
“It’s the only job in the country, as every one of us know, where all of the eligible voters get to vote on it, and therefore you’re president for everybody.”

But the real question is this: Will they do the fandango?
ETA: He should do a fandango on Dancing with the Stars just to complete the meme
They could simply retire...
