David Noll: No coincidence that Robinson is using the same "you made us do it" rhetoric as Kevin Roberts--it's a textbook strategy for persuading people to get over their moral scruples and just do it.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

MAGA Gov Candidate’s Ugly, Hateful Rant: “Some Folks Need Killing!”newrepublic.com Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, has a long history of incendiary comments. But he may have topped himself this time.

"appeared to endorse political violence" Gosh, it sure seems like he said what he said.

Thay's what the white supremacists said also, to justify the whipping & hanging of Slaves, Mr Robinson. "Some slaves need killing" Get the fk off the stage.

Mr. Robinson's short memory. From The Guardian, 2020

Racial terror: 2,000 black Americans were lynched in Reconstruction era, report says | US news | The Guardianamp.theguardian.com The killings during the 12-year period adds to the 4,400 victims from the post-Reconstruction era of 1877 to 1950, bringing the total number of people lynched to 6,500

Sure! Go break a commandment.

It's an entire party campaigning on Trump's "we're the victims." At least the audience does not seem into it like with Trump.

In a way they're just following the Party's approved talking points.

There is some research that says Trump is a unique messenger on that (people are turned off when others try, love it from him). We will see.

Do you have a pointer to it? I know I've seen it but want to read again.

Sarah Longwell did a focus group in NC that you may find interesting. Tldr - a lot of “normie” Republicans repulsed by Robinson but no issues with Trump.

There is another I can't find but this one springs to mind: Activating Animus: The Uniquely Social Roots of Trump ... Cambridge University Press & Assessment www.cambridge.org › core › journals › article › a...

@nathankalmoe.bsky.social is good person to ask!

This measurement error is really getting out of control.

Gandalph, ‘The Fellowship’: “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”

is this a part of Christianity?

Spot on. Straight up demonization.

It’s sick. Abuser language.

Amusing that a black racists think the the white racists won’t tank his sorry ass as well.
