NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss took the media
furor over former President Donald Trump’s "bloodbath" comments to
new heights during a Monday appearance on MSNBC's MORNING JOE.
 During an Ohio campaign rally over the weekend, Trump predicted a
"bloodbath" if he does not win reelection in 2024, and media outlets
fell all over themselves trying to make it look as though he was
predicting politically motivated violence and a *literal* bloodbath.

 And yet there's a Democrat state senator in Tennessee outright calling
for riots and political violence right now because she didn't get her
way in a vote and... yes, you guessed it, crickets from the legacy
media.

 Maybe because she isn't powerful enough to inspire upwards of 80,000
followers to attempt a violent insurrection in Washington or even
Nashville.

 So we have to wait until there's dead bodies in the street and downtown
Nashville is on fire before reporting on a state official calling for
riots and violence?
 That's what you're going with?

 I couldn't google the specific example of a "Democrat state senator in
Tennessee outright calling for riots and political violence right now
because she didn't get her way in a vote"

 Just check out the thread posted right here in RAT today entitled,
"Civility Project Ends".
 

but the Republican jerks in charge have passed some pretty outrageous
laws in the past few weeks, like repealing an anti-"arrested for driving
while Black" law

 Otherwise known as an "exempting black people from the traffic code
everyone else has to obey" law.

The law (or repealed law now) applies to everyone.
If your state has this policy maybe you'll appreciate getting pulled over in your beaten up 40-year-old pickup without a license plate light because some cop makes the subjective judgement that you look suspicious.

You do realize that's a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the
14th Amendment, right? Or do you just not care?

It had nothing to do with the 14th Amendment because it applied to everyone and all races.
But your apparent closet racism by assuming it applied to only Blacks is interesting.

that was passed after Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by police in
2023 after one of these kind of aggressive traffic stops

 By black cops. But go on with your "But muh racism!" nonsense.
 

and making unauthorized street protests a felony instead of a
misdemeanor.

 Obviously misdemeanors weren't working.

Making street protests felonies isn't going to work either, if the perceived transgression is egregious enough.
It's a felony to enter the Capitol Building in an unauthorized manner and vandalize it and threaten members of Congress, did that work?
