He's spectacularly dangerous, and that would be evident to a three year old.
Our justice system cannot handle this.
Our justice system concentrates on "words" and "intent", but ignores obvious catastrophic dangers.

(855 posts)Never in our history has a presidential candidate promised a bloodbath in this country if he won't be elected.
The only way for this country to be assured of peaceful, democratic and legitimate elections from 2024 on, is to BAN THIS PUTIN-FRIENDLY TERRORIST from any ballots, isolate him from society in a prison or sanitarium and remove his accomplices from our House and Senate.

Ford_Prefect
(7,927 posts)The DOJ, and the MSM are not prepared to respond to his threats because he's not physically attacked anyone. He has conveyed material threats, and has encouraged his followers to act violently, just as he did leading up to and on Jan. 6th. I believe that is called inciting to riot.
Someone in authority needs to call him out on that and swear a complaint along the lines of reckless endangerment.
He is not an ordinary person conveying an angry, momentary thought. He is the leader of the Republican party. He is likewise the acknowledged leader and spokes person for the MAGA movement, whose voice and language define and direct his followers' actions.
As such he is responsible for their actions.
Many ordinary people doing this have received visits from the FBI or Secret Service, often in service a warrant. Why not DJT?

(4,314 posts)Back in the mid-nineteenth century, tensions were very high between the pro-slavery and the anti-slavery US citizens. People in several states vowed to fight if Abraham Lincoln won the Presidency. Lincoln had to enter Washington DC very cautiously. And several states did, indeed, secede and start a civil war. We do need to take this seriously.

He is the epitome of a big, low-IQ cowardly, babied slob who has energized these lunatics who have been groomed and predisposed to this behavior for decades. Politics has already been dumbed down and dragged into the sewer by the likes of Gingrich and so many others. The way for a moral-less person like Trump was well paved to pull the trigger and fulfill the right's wettest of dreams.
Trump is playing the GOP too. They are so obsessively focused on their insane vision and goals that they don't care if they screw themselves in the process of fulfilling them. Trump knows this very well. He is the right's vehicle to power but they are his vehicle to power too.
Trump is the ultimate conman.
