Moments ago she tweeted the following:
How many Feds/Fed assets are in place to turn protest against the political arrest of Pres Trump into violence? No other person has undermined our democracy more than George Soros. Why is [he] still allowed to maintain his citizenship?
BREAKING: MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene literally just implied that the US government is going to attempt to cause violence against Trump supporters for protesting, asking How many Feds/Fed assets are in place to turn protest against the political arrest of Pres Trump into violence?
This comes one day after Trump called for his supporters to Take back America and MTG called for Republicans to go scorched earth.
If this isnt an attempt to incite violence, I dont know what would be. Republicans only answer to rule of law is violence. They dont care about law and order. They only care about keeping their own criminals out of jail.

The FBI worked to undermine racial justice protests and other actions in Denver in 2020, a new podcast alleges.
"Alphabet Boys," a 10-episode documentary podcast from Western Sound and iHeartPodcasts, debuted Tuesday and details efforts from the FBI to infiltrate and undermine the racial justice movement following the police killing of George Floyd.
The podcast is based on hours of secret FBI undercover recordings regarding a paid informant who allegedly encouraged violence and destruction and attempted to set up unsuspecting activists in crimes.

(2,274 posts)Can someone PLEASE explain to me how that isn't Sedition? Most if not all her tweets/speeches are "incitements of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority" , are they not? WHY can't she be charged? Seems to me that if no one is above the law then she should be. If shes not preaching hate then shes preaching sedition. Those are FACTS in my understanding but then I am a BigOleDummy. Please enlighten me.

(811 posts)What does George Soros have to do with this? Why call him out? Is it just a reach for the usual scapegoat?
She needs a villain for MAGAts to focus on, but why him? George Soros seems a mythical creature they summon
but never appears. Like the Mothman or Satan. Maybe we should substitute the word "satan" whenever she says "George Soros"

(1,316 posts)What Trump did was like Al Capone telling his people to protest the Government if he gets arrested.
Al Capone served his time in Prison.
In other words, Government is bigger than any one person. Control of Government is what we all stand behind, Unite we Stand, Divided we fall.
Democrats unite to Stand
Trumpers want Chaos.

wnylib
(25,345 posts)to use violence in protests against a Trump arrest. By claiming that "the government" and "the Democrats" are preparing to use violence against protesters, they are setting the stage to make it look like any violence that occurs will be caused by "the government" or by Democratic counter demonstrators.
Why would they need to create that image in people's minds prior to the protests if they didn't already intend to make the protests violent? They are setting up in advance an image of "peaceful protests" like the claim of "peaceful tourists" in DC on J6.
