ABC Host Received Death Threats Following Trump Interview

Arrest and jail each one. Don't make death threats at people.

Yeah, the justice department has been really lax with this stuff. AFAIK that's not protected speech, and if you start jailing the first ones it'll stop. Stirring up hate towards someone to the point they get death threats has become a normalised part of the discourse on the right now.
- Even a statement of "authorities are working on tracking these people down to charge them" would scare a lot of these people off.
- A.G. Garland is a conservative. Trusting a conservative to act in good faith as A.G. was a huge error in judgement by this administration. That error has come very close to costing us our democracy.
  A conservative should absolutely never be granted any position of authority. A conservative does not have a moral compass and can only act to benefit themselves or their in-group.
Law enforcement pretty much always sides with Trump supporters on this stuff so I wouldn't hold your breath. If this woman died, most cops would probably laugh.
- Law enforcement pretty much always sides with Trump supporters
  There's over 450 January 6 idiots sitting in jail who used to believe that is true.

Was it "the radical left" ?

What's that? No, it wasn't? Again? Huh

Must have been “Blue MAGA”
- Magtifa
- Blue maga was made up by maga as an attempt at a pejorative and to downplay their own insanity.
- I thought "Blue MAGA" was a fictitious organization used only by authoritarians cosplaying as lefties. MAGAs wouldn't use it because the implication is that "Red" MAGAs are also brainwashed clowns in a cult (which is true, but they don't like that fact).
  When MAGAs are pretending that the terrorism their team commits is someone else's fault I think they blame antifas or the FBI.
Sounds like terrorism. Maybe Muslim terrorists?
- It's the transgender Muslim terrorists leftists.

Totally non-weird response to a journalist asking questions.

Cultists radicalized into terrorists.

I woke up to a response from someone who asked me why I had to make "everything" about racism.

This is why.

Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it's there being a lot of racist shit.

this is not meant ironically, i'm so tired, boss. this shit needs to stop. as human beings can we collectively hate something other than ourselves? like maybe we can start hating methane with the same furvor.../i wish it were snark

But the profits!! Think of the poor shareholders!

republicans sending death threats to a black woman for holding a racist to account? on brand.

Like... I hate to say this... But no shit... We all knew this was going to happen as soon as the interview was planned in the first place

Yet those journalists were brave enough to do the right thing and try to get honest answers out of that orange weirdo.

Next thing, you're gonna tell me that water is wet.

Water isn’t wet. Wetness is a property that occurs when a liquid adheres to a solid surface due to cohesive and adhesive forces. Water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, creating a network, but they themselves aren’t ‘wet’ until they interact with another material.
- Counterpoint: water is wet because it is the wet.
  A powerful example of such a scenario is this quote from the philosopher, Batman:
  "I am vengeance! I am the night! I.am.BATMAN!"
  What this proves is shut up, water is wet. 😡
- Interesting, but pedantic.
- So you’re saying wet is water.
- Rain is wet, it is not adhered to a solid surface. The middle of the ocean is wet even if there's no solid surface near by.
- So you're telling me that water makes things wet. That makes it wet as a verb, so flatter us in fact wet all the time
- I am of the opinion that a single molecule of water is not wet but since water makes other things wet... A molecule of water would make the surrounding molecules of water wet. Therefore pretty much any example you can give of water is wet unless you mean just a single molecule of water separated from anything else.

Really fucking weird.

Hey fellas, is it weird to send death threats to a news station for not asking trump softball questions and kissing his butt? 🤔

Imagine if Trump said that this is not acceptable... But guess who keeps his mouth shut instead.

Lmao of course she did, what else can you expect talking to the dopey leader of a cult of FUCKING WEIRDOS.

Those f'ing weirdos

Ever since the pan. Everything was already terrible, but then the hinges broke. The crazy really took over. And this is where we are. Fucking stochastic terrorism with heaps of actual terrorism. They just don't have any boundaries anymore. Or sense of decency. Or shame. Fuck the right.

There was a time when the conservatives would have just actually lynched her. That's what they refer to as "the good ol' days".
- Yup. “Make America great again” is code for “I preferred it when we could lynch black people for literally anything.”
But but you have to understand they’re just worried because the elites have abandoned them!! /s

Faermongering thugs. Can you imagine what they're doing to Vance's wife?

I'm imagining it.
- I can't stop imagining it 🥵

They're in favor of a free press, except if that press isn't in support of their political agenda. Then all of a sudden that free press isn't supposed to be so free.

If the freedom you want has a required political position, it's not freedom that you want.

Just like how they only use “free speech” to defend the indefensible things they say. Because they can’t actually justify the things they say, so they fall back to “well you technically can’t stop me from saying it.” The “free speech” defense is just about the lowest bar you could find, and if you’re using it you should seriously examine why you’re saying the things you are. Because if you’ve fallen into the “free speech” defense, it means you have no other defense.
- this is a little odd because it comes off as you attacking free speech a little

She embodies almost everything they hate, this was almost inevitable once she came to their attention.

Yeah, emotional violent savages are gonna act that way. They are not intelligent enough to argue and are uncivilized animals. Screw maga, they are weird outcasts and, anger getting wrecked in the election, can go hide in their bunkers where polite society doesn't have to look at them anymore...

Remember folks, the so-called moderate Republicans coming out of the woodwork have fully enabled the whackjobs making death threats and all the other bullshit coming out of the Gaslight Obstruct Project party over the past few years. They allowed this to happen, they invited this to happen, and the US will take years if not decades to recover.

We are entering the "I never supported him anyway" phase. Don't let them.

Guess we're gonna have to keep recorders on our lines til these morons grow up

At some point in the future, there will be LLMs that will scan all voice, video, or text calls and do sentiment analysis. If they flag a call as hostile, they could send a signal to all intermediate network conduits that this person is a threat and will essentially 'unmask' their origin. Authorities can then take appropriate action.

If we're lucky, laws will be passed to enable it just for cases of assholes threatening someone they don't like. And after a few public lawsuits, the whole doxxing/swatting/death-threat thing will cease to exist.

More likely, it'll be used by governments to stifle dissent. But you gotta dream 😔

- How to stop violent death-threats.
That's not what LLMs do. They're sentence-construction software.
- An LLM could do this, but it would be very expensive to do this for every single communication and not particularly good. Humans are good at communicating through subtext. "You have such a lovely wife, I would just be gutted if something tragic were to happen to her."
  ChatGPT picked up the veiled threat there, but that's a very unsubtle example.
Sounds like the kinda thing my grandpa would say back in the 90s. I'm still waiting for the micro chip that's supposed to make me worship Satan
