Stew Peters Advocates for a Violent Overthrow of the Government - eviltoast

Why this is important:

Stew Peters is a far-right virulently anti-LGBTQ bigot who regularly uses his nightly “The Stew Peters Show” program, speeches, and social media accounts to promote white nationalists and antisemites and to spread wild conspiracy theories, bigotry, and calls for violence. Despite his bigoted views and unhinged rhetoric, Peters regularly manages to get Republican leaders, elected officials, and candidates for office to appear on his program. In addition, Peters has participated in ReAwaken America events alongside various Trump insiders and members of the Trump family.

    guilty or not doesn’t really matter here. i’m not saying we don’t jail him either, but just because something is the right thing doesn’t always make it the right thing. if that makes any sense

    if you have the right of way and decide to go through that intersection consequences be damned, some of the time you’re gonna get hit by someone who doesn’t care about traffic laws

    you’re right - but you’re dead

    trump broke the law. but arresting him and not letting him flout our laws may end up causing more damage due to unforeseen consequences.

    i’m not saying this is actually the case, but it’s something to consider. and i’m sure the prosecutors in all of these cases have had some serious counsel from officials high up in the federal government

    it’s all uncertain and all paths are dangerous. who knows what’s coming next, honestly. my hope is the guy just has a stroke and the momentum he’s been building since 2016 peters out. i don’t think there’s another contender that can do what he’s currently doing
