    “[The Jefferson County Republican Party] have lost money in this. This was meant to be a fundraiser, but now we’ve lost thousands of dollars.”

    Oh, no! … Anyway!

      It’s not clear in the article, nor logically, whether those death threats mostly came from the left. Right wingers tend to be a lot more willing to death threat (though we do have crazies on the left) and there have been accusations that the governor was trying to politically damage Trump and is a left wing plant.

      I definitely agree that death threats are fucking awful regardless of who they’re aimed at and by.

          PETA. Those people who tell you how to live because of their morality? Who judge those outside their group as inferior? Who are horrible hypocrites who murder animals while espousing the opposite? People consider them leftists?

          And you think those people are correct enough to give voice to their opinion.

          There’s a pipeline of people that go from granola to fascism. And that pipeline runs right through PETA.

            I would say that the pipeline of left to right is through communism, not PETA, although my wife’s vegan cousin has become explicitly pro-hamas in the last 6 months, so you may have a point.
