“When you convince people that politicians are rigging elections, drink babies' blood ... you will get violence," warned GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger

To help quell mounting political violence in America, critics warn that Republicans have to stop praising violent insurrectionists who participated in last year’s storming of the U.S. Capitol and other extremists as “patriots” and “heroes.”

And they have to stop filling supporters’ heads with crazed QAnon theories, critics have warned.

“When you hold up domestic terrorists like those that participated in Jan. 6 as heroes, when you call them political prisoners, when you say that they should be pardoned for participating in that active insurrection you are sending the message loud and clear that violence is what you want — that trial by combat is what you want,” former Republican official Kurt Bardella warned Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat.”

"The question before us at midterm is, will the Republic and its Constitution survive the onslaught of the engrained Big Lie, the MAGA anti-democratic forces, and MAGA Party election-denying politicians?

Please keep in mind that the Former Guy has stated that he will demand a recount of the Pennsylvania senatorial votes as a dress rehearsal for the 2024 elections. He has called for his supporters to rise up if he is indicted, including Lindsey Graham openly stating that a civil war would ensue if the Former Guy is indicted and prosecuted"

"The longer republicans refuse to address the violence they are condoning, the further destruction they are causing to the United States. Every time republicans refuse to stand up to the violence going on right now, it is another kick to democracy. The republicans want a violent society and they are getting just that. The only way at this point to stop the violence is to vote Democratic up and down our ballots. Get rid of the republican violence."
