Its horrific to watch left (wing) leaning politicians tripping over themselves wishing trump a speedy recovery and condemning violence in any way, and then see the comments filled with fascists literally telling them that they will kill them for "demonizing the right and causing this to happen.".
It is terrifying.
"We wish mr.trump a speedy recovery! Violence is never the answer! We hope he is okay! 🥺"
"You caused this by demonizing us and calling us fascists and nazis. We will come for you and kill you."
"Totally understandable! We are so sorry! 🙏🥺 Please continue your quest for genocide and the elimination of democracy! Again, so sorry! Forgive me! 🙏😭"
It's the Chamberlain approach to politics. If you need any more Nazi adjacent imagery to use. It's great the Democrats are willing to compromise and debate. Appeasing fascists however never has a good outcome. And most of them still cannot acknowledge that's what the GOP has been for nearly the last hundred years.
IF Trump is the threat to democracy that the dems say, the shooting was a reasonable response.
I hate this 'violence is never the answer ' nonsense. I've been taught my entire life that sometimes violence is justified. For example: ww2, American revolutionary war, civil war, wars for independence (thanks Britain), Haitian uprising....
This. I am finding it bizarre how violence by the state is perfectly acceptable but suddenly it becomes unacceptable when a non state actor does exactly the same.
Congress always approves, and regularly surpasses all military budget increase requests. Don't ever let these people tell you that violence isn't the answer. They sure seem to understand the power of violence.
Violence against the state will always be more just than violence by the state.
Well, yes, but it was also an ineffective response. The problem isn't that Trump is the head of the party, it's the party. Trump isn't some magic irreplaceable leader, and a recursive solution isn't sustainable.
PS: (I said "it's the party", but that's not true either. The problem goes further than that; the entire system is rigged)
Every single Democratic response should have been "Thoughts and prayers! Now watch this drive..." takes golf swing
Anything more is overblown and unwarranted. None of them are responsible for this. The right is responsible for the violence and they don't give a shit unless it's happening to them.
