Swalwell claims that Republicans who secretly want to oppose Trump are intimidated by online backlash and threats.
And you thought no one was paying attention...
“I have a lot of friends who are Republicans,” he said. “They are terrified of being the tallest poppy in the field, and it’s not as simple as being afraid of being primaried and losing their job. They know that that can happen.
“It’s more more personal. It’s their personal safety that they’re afraid of, and they have spouses and family members saying, ‘Do not do this, it’s not worth it, it will change our lives forever. We will have to hire around-the-clock security.’ Life can be very uncomfortable for your children.
“That is real, because when [Elon] Musk [Trump’s most powerful ally] tweets at somebody, or Trump tweets at somebody, or calls somebody out, their lives are turned upside down.
“When he tweets at you, people make threats, and you have to take people at their word. And so that is a real thing that my colleagues struggle with.”
Thats because it is WHAT the PEOPLE WANT< NOT WHAT YOU WANT Swalwell
Hasn't he just described the cancel culture ops that have been levied at people for stating obvious truth. In 2020, Drs warning people about all the Covid lies had "their lives turned upside down", Swalwell didn't say anything then!
This is a lowering of the bar that he cheered for when it enabled corruption and oppression, he helped make this the new normal.
Projection works that way, I guess.
“the tallest poppy in the field”?
That phrase is usually “blade of grass”, and refers to communists cutting down anyone who stands up.
Of all plants, why did you choose “poppy”, Eric? Been working with Pfizer on anything?
Tall poppy syndrome is more of an Australian figure of speech. It usually refers to locals being envious or resentful of someone who climbs the ladder. The American version might be crabs in a bucket
That's such an ODD statement that it probably warrants more attention.
So some RINO's finally figured out who their boss is? FAFO
Don't you have a wind instrument to tune Swalwell?
whos he blowin now?
He needs to go back to farting. It was more entertaining.
If he fell for Fang fang lies he will fall for anything.
Did he fall for her or was she his handler and he knew it.
humm, interestng POV... either way... he's a traitor just to what degree is the new question.
Toe the line then....
Weird. Only people who were to testify against Clinton/Obama and other deep state dems end up killed.
I don't know of a single person dead who was to testify against Trump.
I think this crying is actually a veiled warning. Threat.
