"Everyone"
Remind me motherfucker, who was it who said "The second American revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be"?
Don't threaten violence against your political opponents and then get surprised when they fight back.
Except, aparently the shooter was a republican. Probably shot at trump because he wasn't far right enough. It's Shinzo Abe all over again.
Shinzo Abe was murdered because he supported a religious cult that destroyed the family of the person that assassinated him. I am not trying to justify it, but it was a completely different set of circumstances. Apples and oranges really.
Right, because "both sides" have been talking about their plans for instituting a literal dictatorship when coming into power? "Both sides" tried to stage a violent coup to overthrow the peaceful democratic transfer of power? "Both sides" have talked in terms of violence against the other party for literally years now? Some people are "vilified" because they're cunts and they're actually evil people, people like Stalin, Idi Amin, Putin, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Un, and Hitler. Trump has clearly thrown his lot in with that group of folks and if anything, is getting treated with kid gloves by the media. The shooting was years in the making and may very well likely not be the end of this drama. Trump is probably ecstatic about the whole thing anyways because of how much "ratings" he's getting out of the whole thing.
Shooter must have been a real ass-Republican if they're trying to advise civility toward "everyone"
Fuckin' ass-Republicans...
No you dumb shit, Trump is a fascist, and the media has not vilified him nearly enough.
Have they vilified him at all? All I see them doing is making him look like a valid candidate, which he's not, and making him look like a hero after yesterday's ordeal.
Fuuuuuuuck your entire face
Haha!
I don't know how anyone can look at this guy's face and not immediately think that he is 💯% full of shit.
He looks like the villain in a 1980's business movie.
don't stoop down to pointless ad hominem. he looks like an entirely average person. attack his idiotic beliefs instead.
Is it irony when we all know that what he is saying is the opposite of reality, but it isn't funny anymore?
Fascist requests we ignore their harmful rhetoric and stop pushing our helpful rhetoric
No surprises there
FUCK YOU “CHRISTIAN” NATIONALIST QANON FASCIST.
I got your turned-down rhetoric right here you piece of shit.
‘Turn down the rhetoric’. FUCK. Goddamned idiot toady fuck, doesn’t understand a fucking thing but wants to tell us to stfu? Bite Me, you garbage bible huffer.
I've seen this in yt before.
This is when the teachers/ school admins finally catch a school bullying taking place especially when the bully is about to get some pay back.
Sure I will look at the republican convention and if I see you turn down your rhetoric. If you threaten the freedom of American lives at your event then I guess you didn't mean shit.
