GOP Rep. Warns Of ‘Full-Scale Hot Conflict’ If Dems Win GA Senate Races

The Republican asserted that “hardworking Americans” are “getting trampled by a system that is rigged against them.”
So please, by all means, vote to put back in office the people that are trampling all over you.

So there’s your red flag:

If the GOP candidates win, no problem - move on - the election was fair.

If the Dem candidates win, problem - litigation, riots, election not fair.

We know now where the GOP stands. It’s only a fair election if they win.

Yes, we’re doing everything we can to suppress their votes and have succeeded so far, but now the challenge is getting more difficult as they are starting to think for themselves…

“What happens tomorrow in Georgia…if we have a Democratically controlled Senate, we’re now basically at full-scale hot conflict in this country,” Roy told Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

IOW, do it our way or we’ll burn the town down. Subtle.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) suggested there would be dire consequences if he could not find a last name to replace either of his laughable 2 first names. He also confirmed he was getting plastic surgery to look less like the Principal from Ferris Bueller’s day off.

In films, guys named Chip are always assholes.

Seriously though folks, I think the Dems have a good chance of pulling this off and the goopers know it. Look forward to Mitch’s bravado.

Extremely dangerous rhetoric. On a number of levels, two of which are

(1) The tacit assumption that only Republicans are Americans
(2) The mentioning of a “hot war”. It is only harmless if it is processed by people who would look at that phrase metaphorically. If they are not doing so, that is an incitement to violence

An armed conflict akin to a new civil war is clearly everything every RWNJ and MAGAt in this country has wanted ever since Obama, so i say we call their bluff and give it to 'em by electing a Democratically controlled US Senate.

This is yesterday’s news. What…what the hell is he tryna say: Sounds like word salad.

“What happens tomorrow in Georgia…if we have a Democratically controlled Senate, we’re now basically at full-scale hot conflict in this country,” Roy told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Whereas right now we’re in a cold civil war.”

All the military-conflict verbiage…never been in the military…except…perhaps an Annual Civil War Reenactment?

Meat Loaf is really Q.

ETA:

I suspect that Ivanka had Meatloaf on her mind because she’s thinking that after Inauguration she and Jarad will be out of there “Like a Bat Out of Hell”.

Let Texas secede.
All of the Trumpers can move there, and rename it Trumptopia, and they can build all of the fences they desire.
Of course, we’ll have to ban the Texans and Cowboys from the NFL.

The steel toed boots worn by blacks, Hispanics, gays and immigrants really hurt when you’re trampled by them. But hey, trampling is hard work, too.
