Interesting idea. The stupid or a liar axiom, basically. Say you’re right. What’s the goal? Employment and riches by selling clicks while it happens? I guess they simply don’t know they’re first to go.
The rank-and-file "Resistance" just assume that the source of all their problems is Trump (and his supporters), and once those are eliminated it will all be rainbows and unicorns. I suppose it is an attractive thought, they want to believe it, so they do. Kind of like what Hitler told Germans after they lost World War 1; their only problem was Jews and Communists and if those were eliminated it would all be great. Much easier and more emotionally satisfying than trying to understand what is actually going on.
I try not to impute motives to people I haven't met, but if I just take them at their word, that conclusion is pretty inescapable.
I live in Wisconsin and have been to this establishment before Kirk took it over. It used to be the best restaurant in Minocquoa (pronounced Min-naw-qua btw). Kirk and his supporters are a shameful embarrassment to our great state which is known for our kindness. Nothing Trump or anyone else is doing makes them deserving of their death.
What can one say? We've always known some people are more susceptible to propaganda than others; and there's no denying the information commons is saturated with propaganda. Some shrug it off as an annoyance they've learned to live with, like ads cluttering up YouTube videos. Others are easily manipulated by even its crudest, least plausible forms.
Minoqua is in Wisconsin's hunting and fishing paradise near Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Depends on tourism. I imagine. Otherwise it's a town of 5,000 in the middle of nowhere. Lakes all around.
I can't imagine the tavern keeper's opinion aligns with very many who live or travel through the area. Check in a year from now to see if his bar is still open.
He's running for governor. Hard to picture it as a serious candacy but he has probably figured out that he can raise funds from crazies all across the nation. This was surely an effort to engage that small dollar fundraising. Lotsa money from people who cannot vote for him. Based on the Instagram comments, many cannot spell or form a complete sentence either.
Here’s the uncomfortable question nobody wants to answer honestly: when does activism stop being protest and start becoming intimidation, disruption, or political theater? Every side suddenly changes its definition depending on whether they agree with the cause. That inconsistency is a huge reason public trust keeps collapsing.
Whether you agree with these protesters or not, documenting movements without the usual media filter matters. Too much modern coverage feels like activism disguised as journalism instead of journalism documenting activism. People are starving for footage and reporting that lets them decide for themselves what’s real.
Did you hear what Hulk Hogan's memorial Facebook account posted yesterday? It was about as consequential as this beer story. Why focus people's attention on divisive minutia?
The US/Roman Petrodollar Empire is collapsing and there will be war similar to every other time an Empire collapses. The focus rn should be on uncovering wtf is going on with the petrodollar and how to prevent decades of war.
You really think calling for the death of our president (whether you like him or not) is insignificant? What about celebrating the assassination of another of our presidents: Obama, for example? Would that be a good thing?
Re "prevent decades of war"....Sorry but that will never happen. Besides the fact that war is one of three ways in which Mother Nature keeps the human herd in check, it is not in the nature of the beast.
Imagine the same announcement regarding Obama or any Democrat. The Marxist media and all the mouth breathers would lose their minds for months.
Hey, go easy on the mouth breathers. There are bad allergies out there.
So there’s a business model supporting brown shirts?
Yep, hallmarks of the early Nazi movement in Germany; Propaganda, assination, and riotious violence.
Funny how our media doesn’t notice, doesn’t care, or supports it. I’m no expert, but I think cowardice is behind that.
Maybe some are cowards by pretending it doesn't exist, but many if not most simply agree but are cowards for not saying it out loud.
So, some cowardice but not in the direction you might think.

What they miss is that in a couple of years Trump will be gone, but those who voted for him won't be.
It becomes more difficult each day to determine which stories originate at the Babylon Bee and which stories are real news.

disgusting.
What legally will happen to Kirk Bangstad, owner of Minocqua Brewing Company? I hope his bar ceases to exist, legally, by people becoming non-patrons.
Disbar the Bar!

His mouth has gotten him in trouble before,

Where does a small business owner in a small town get $750,000 in order to pay a defamation suit?
Sounds like he's a looney trust fund baby doing is best to squander his money.
What a mess our nation is in.
The parents of these brownshirts ought to be ashamed that they did not teach their children to respect the lives of every person. Wow.

Unless you only report the protests of one side of the political spectrum.
Did you hear about the Muslims rampage on the NYC LEOs?
Evidentially that’s not fit coverage for “Activism Uncensored”.
Thanks for exposing another of the evil spirits prowling about the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Evil Spirits, great re-brand for soon to be bankrupt Minocquoa Brewing.

How old are you?
there are tens of thousands of examples of people calling for the same thing, so yeah, a story about any one of them is political pulp minutia

did you see when the Ottoman Empire broke up, before the sequence WWI -> WWII?
Ford missed this one, too:
Chicago teen takeover mob rams police cruiser backward, swarms car as onlookers cheer
Odd
Has this guy been arrested? It shouldn't be legal to promise a huge celebration if someone kills the president, no matter who the president is.
