GOP men finally get to experience what "micro aggressions" are like, eh?

[Rhea]

So I wonder if the GOP, which typically does not take a stand on issues until they feel it _personally_ (they are unable to have empathy on general principals and need a personal stake), will now decide that internet threats are an actual problem and do something about the _entire_ issue? Maybe not.

Well at any rate, sorry to have to welcome you to the club, boys, but... welcome to the club. Threats suck, they always have.

“There has definitely been some activity that’s ranged from proper First Amendment, if not proper English, responses to public comments to things that are a little bit more spooky or problematic,” Tom John, a GOP district chair in Indiana, told TPM, adding that most of the backlash he has received has been in emails or on Twitter.

“300 phone calls with many being the trashiest you can imagine over a tweet we didn’t send and because a candidate didn't speak at our convention when we tried very hard to get him there," Colorado GOP Chair Steve House wrote on his Facebook page, according to a screenshot captured by Right Scoop that was confirmed by a Colorado GOP spokesperson. "Shame on the people who somehow think it is right to threaten me and my family over not liking the outcome of an election.”

Hopefully he was outspoken about this in 2009?
And is writing a quick letter to Mitch McConnell as well?

“Think before you take a step down the wrong path, the American people want to have faith in your but it looks like a future in hiding is more appealing,” one message said, according to the Star. The state police have even begun reviewing the messages,

as one commenter put it,
"Take it from us.
Wait'll they start publishing your pictures with crosshairs over your faces. A real hoot. You'll love it.
See you in church."

Party officials confirmed to the outlet that there were death threats ahead of the contest including one that "involved trying to hang people."

You don't say. Wow, has that happened before? Was it bad then?

Donald Trump supporters are planning an armed demonstration to intimidate protesters when the Republican presidential candidate visits Pittsburgh for a town hall meeting and campaign rally.
A social media user posted the group’s plans about noon Tuesday on Reddit, saying at least 16 armed Trump supporters will form “roving support units” to stop protesters from forming road blocks, reported Pittsburgh City Paper.

Death threats, guns and intimidation. What can possibly go wrong?

Is there any actual threat to a road block. And at what point do these people start noticing the similarities between themselves and brownshirts?

...at what point do these people start noticing the similarities between themselves and brownshirts?

After a few days holed up in a bunker, with the the entire civilized world trying to hunt them down for their crimes against humanity.
I hear parts of Argentina are really nice...

You are assuming they go into hiding instead of blow up the rest of the world with nukes.
