The K-Hive? Really?
- They are trying so hard to get a nickname that sticks
  
  The term's been around since 2017

  K-Hive just makes me think of K-Hole, which makes me think both of Ketamine and A-Hole lmao.
  This one may not be the right call for them haha.
“Oh Kamala is NOT ready for Chicago. But don’t worry; we’re ready for her,”
Well that's definitely easily misinterpreted as a threat.
ngl, this doesn't sound like us. Mass reporting and swatting is very much their thing, and we usually recognize the importance of peaceful protest. There was no indication of any threat in the actual tweet that I could see.
The DNC protests were largely above-board, they did their paperwork and were pretty peaceful and honorable. We all knew they were happening.
- This is a bit of a No True Scotsman fallacy. It’s REALLY easy to assume the worst of Them and the best of Us, but we’re all human animals. There will be bad and good behavior on both sides.
  More bad behavior from the fascists, certainly, but that doesn’t mean there will be no bad behavior from “the K-Hive.”
  
  Yeah it's true. I think it's important that we remind each other to hold ourselves to a higher standard than this.
- You can literally follow the links in the article to see an author, Democrat, and Kamala supporter saying they reported her.
  Your heart and my best intentions may tell you that doesn’t sound like “us”, but the facts and evidence tell us it does.
  
  an author, Democrat....
  Does not = "us"
  Nice Reagan reference though.
  
  Anyone can pretend to be anything on the internet. It's very foolish to just believe everyone is what they say they are.
