Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
It’s just empty rhetoric to try to garner some kind of support from radicalists. It’s a power grab among right wingers who have nothing left to latch onto except hatred for an unknown, undefinable enemy.
“Extinguish the left” is not really an attainable goal, just like no one can define “woke”, it’s whatever you want it to be. Just like fighting “terror” all over the world was stupid, fighting a “war” on drugs, it isn’t possible to “win” because it has no definable goal posts.
Yet it’s dangerous talk because it means people will freak out and start attacking everyone they don’t like. Crazy people will go on a shooting spree, thoughts and prayers all around but nothing will change and we’re right back to where we started.
Those that eat this up are disenfranchised, angry at something completely different that’s happened to them in life and they’re taking that frustration out on people that don’t even affect them because the manifestation of their frustration onto a person is easier for them to understand
Extinguish the left is very much an attainable goal in their view. They almost stole the presidency in an insurrection. They were literately going to murder Mike Pence. The next time around we might have a more competent conservative president who manufactures an emergency and then we are literately fucked.
Something like ‘murder a fuckton of people’ doesn’t need an easily definable goal post: that there are always more people to murder who don’t quite meet your standards is a FEATURE, not a bug.
