/r/ChapoTrapHouse has been using barely coded language to call for the assassination of US congressmen over the past few days.

The meme seems to have originated at about 18 minutes into one of the recent CTH podcast episodes[1] in which the 2017 Congressional baseball game shooting was joked about.

Front page post at +501 showing that they're aware that Reddit's admins consider it a call to violence.

Another comment chain showing that the majority of the subreddit is very aware that baseball references are a dogwhistle for supporting murdering US politicians. When someone goes to explain what it means, two people at +26 and +15 tell him that he's a "snitch" and to delete his comment so they don't get in trouble with the admins.

With that in mind, let's begin with some easy to find examples from several threads.

+183 baseball is very quickly becoming my favorite sport

+5 Are baseball players heroes?

+13 BEAT THEIR HEAD IN WITH A BASEBALL BAT UNTIL DEAD

+24. [Mod with a distinguished comment playing dumb.] (https://np.reddit.com/r/ChapoTrapHouse/comments/9m0i7j/official_major_league_baseball_discussion_thread/e7auoit/[2])

+11 Today is a great day for baseball

+9 We just really hope we get to see [baseball] tomorrow

+9 Baseball on my mind

+2 Hope the home team pitcher is more accurate this time

+14 Why was baseball so widespread in the 60s and 70s compared to now? I haven’t seen a good game in a long time

+12 We need more sluggers in DC

+70 Comment chain fantasizing about congressmen being shot using baseball analogies. Final comment basically outright admits it.

+386 "if you're angry i find it helps to close your eyes and think about the all american sport of baseball"

Not much point in trying to find more comments since it's like shooting fish in a barrel at this point. Nearly every thread contains multiple baseball references, although given that this is CTH it's really not uncommon at all for them to just drop the coded language and outright call for violence.

I actually prefer these types of people versus the progressives. At least they don't have the annoying smug attitude and the constant lying.

Although in the end they will get consumed and destroyed by progressives. Progressives have corporate backing at this point and the second these types of lefties start gaining any sort of real-world power is the day the progressives will come for them.

At least they’re honest and show who they really are compared to certain libs that act as of their more righteous than anyone else with their holier than thou attitude.

Given that milliondollarextreme got banned for [] in Minecraft jokes, I hope Chapo bites the bullet for this one or is at least quarantined
