In the months that have followed they affirmed their support for hostile actions aimed at imposing their ultra-rightist tyranny on America. Their thirst for blood is made shamelessly evident on a near nightly basis. It can be seen in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51230\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent surveys that show just how far the right has devolved<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPolling indicates that 30 percent of Republicans, and 40 percent of people who \u2018most trust\u2019 far-right news sources, believe that \u2018true patriots\u2019 may have to resort to violence to \u2018save\u2019 the country \u2014 a statement that gets far less support among Democrats and independents.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On Thursday Fox News provided additional proof that violence is not merely a tangential consequence of their dreams for a despotic dystopia. It is a fully integrated tactic they are deploying in pursuit of their maniacal mission. Fox host Griff Jenkins interviewed Joseph Imperatrice, the founder of Blue Lives Matter, in a segment about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/27\/politics\/cori-bush-car-gunfire\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a shooting<\/a><\/strong> that threatened Democratic Rep. Cori Bush:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Jenkins:<\/strong> Now we see Cori Bush, liberal Democrat from St. Louis, Missouri, saying on Twitter that her car was hit with bullets. Her car was shot. No one was in it, fortunately. But will these lawmakers change their tune?<br \/>\n<strong>Imperatrice:<\/strong> The harsh truth is we need these lawmakers to be victims. We need them to understand when the worst situation possible hits them, and then they can turn around and say, &#8216;Wow, maybe it&#8217;s an issue. Maybe I need to wake up and do my job and change things for the better. I&#8217;m not praying any of these people get hurt or harmed, but they need to see firsthand how bad the streets really are.<br \/>\n<strong>Jenkins:<\/strong> Of course, we would never wish any harm whatsoever on any American, let alone a politician we disagreed with. But the instances we did see &#8211; two instances of carjacking, fortunately, everyone was OK &#8211; maybe it will change their minds.

Imperatrice&#8217;s disgusting assertion <em>&#8220;we need these lawmakers to be victims&#8221;<\/em> would not be tolerated by any decent TV network. Which explains why Fox News not only tolerated it, but agreed with it.<\/p>\n<p>Both Imperatrice and Jenkins tried to water down their horrendous support for domestic terrorism by inserting a disingenuous disclaimer that they don&#8217;t wish any harm on anyone. However, saying that they don&#8217;t wish any harm <em>&#8220;<strong>but<\/strong> they need to see firsthand&#8221;<\/em> violence, or <em>&#8220;<strong>but<\/strong>&#8230;maybe it will change their minds,&#8221;<\/em> immediately contradicts the statement and serves as a justification for the harm they pretend to oppose, but overtly advocated.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News isn&#8217;t going to be happy until we are in the midst of a full scale civil war.
