Susan Collins’ Democrat Socialist opponent selling guillotine campaign t-shirts, warns of ‘revolution’

By Joe Newby | February 10, 2020

 

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Me., isn’t exactly what you’d call a rock-ribbed conservative, but she did anger leftists so much with her vote to acquit President Trump that she received a number of “credible” death threats.  But there’s more.

On Monday, Twitchy reported that Bre Kidman, a Democrat Socialist hoping to unseat Collins in November, is now selling campaign gear adorned with a guillotine.

I was gonna wait until tomorrow to show off these beauties, but Trump got acquitted and I feel like folks could use something to look forward to. So.

Get ready for Merch-You-Can’t-Buy! You shouldn’t buy elections, so you can’t buy our locally silk screened, upcycled merch. pic.twitter.com/B0A4HSvDIw

Of course, we’re not supposed to see anything violent about this, right?  After all, guillotines are often used as comedic devices…

She also seemed supportive of a violent revolution.

We’ll be giving these shirts (& patches & buttons) to folks who talk with Mainers about our campaign to #StopElectingTheRich and #ShowUpForME.

More details on how to get your GuilloTee tomorrow! In the meantime, remember: there is not going to be a more convenient revolution.

One person asked:

Who is the guillotine for?

Good question.  Maybe she wants it for anyone whose political views fall to the right of Stalin.

Just flagging that one of @SenSusanCollins‘ Senate opponents has merchandise with a guillotine on it, presumably to cut off .. opponents heads.

Yikes. #MEpolitics #MEsen https://t.co/1u3A2gt8c3

We’re not really sure what else it could be used for.

NRSC Senior Advisor Matt Whitlock noted:

Bre notes in replies that they’re not in favor of the death penalty, but the t-shirt is more of a warning that a serious violent uprising could become “inevitable.”

To paraphrase: “No we’re not threatening to execute Susan Collins but it could happen.”https://t.co/dtEadlGXQ8

Quite a few people took Kidman to  task for the outrageous tweet:

Adolf Hitler made the guillotine a state method of execution and ordered that 20 of the machines be placed in cities across Germany. The guillotine was eventually used to execute some 16,500 people between 1933 and 1945, many of them resistance fighters and political dissidents.

A guillotine eh? Yeah, nothing authoritarian and scare tactic about that at all. 🙄

Are you going to design a shirt for Bernie’s gulags?

I know, his campaign supports guillotines, too. But all socialists can’t run on guillotines. It gets old after a while.

There’s a lot more like this, but you get the idea.

Twitchy noted the hypocrisy:

If someone in Trump World did something like that, the Resistance would be rolling out the guillotine for that person. But because it’s just a Republican being targeted with a thinly veiled threat of political violence, it won’t merit so much as a half-assed cry of outrage.

 

Bingo.

In February 2011, I first opined that liberalism, at its core, is an ideology of rage and hate.  These days, we’ve seen nothing but bloodthirsty rage and hate come from the left, and it’s only getting worse.

This, America, IS the modern left.  Take note, and vote accordingly in November.
