Do You Ever Expect the intensity of anti Trump rhetoric to escalate to violence?

and yet...even if that's true (which it's not) Trump SPECIFICALLY instructed his fans to get violent and offered to pay their legal fees if they did.

No bed-wetting from the right about THAT, amirite?

Literally EVERY rally the fucker has until this very day he tells a crowd of thousands of irrational worshipers that the media in the back are "the enemy of the people" and the crowd subjects them to everything short of violence and as far as I know not ONE critic of Waters has whispered to themselves in the quite of their mind "maybe he shouldn't do that"

If I had a fortune I'd wager half of it that the first death due to politically inspired violence in this country will be a journalist, not a politician.

Spare me.

Exactly.

The nature of protest is confrontational. If it's not, it effects NOTHING.

The powerful do not, as King said, wilinglly concede power.

A person who objects to the policy of those in power and has spine confronts those people, directly, forcefully, repeatedly, persistently. THAT is that of which Waters speaks. Obviously.

And it's a hell of a lot less "violence inducing" than "Beat the hell out of him, I'll pay your legal bill"

Two words: James Hodgisison. Three more words: Lee Harvey Oswald. And he was successful in killing American President.

I thought candidate Trump only did that once. Of course that is too many.

I like how Trump called for violence against people during his campaign, but as soon as Democrats start suggesting people continue their non-violent protests, the conservatives are all up in arms.

@Dayton3, why did you not post this thread during Donald Trump's campaign about his own statements?

so...one then?

He does "enemy of the people" literally at every single rally - he did it in SC just the other night right in the middle of the "Be civil to Sarah" uproar.

on a lighter note

a lot of good stuff on Twitter lately, on this topic this was a good point

If I can’t go to Planned Parenthood for a routine pap smear without being screamed at and harassed by Christian protestors then Stephen Miller shouldn’t be able to eat his fucking salad without being called an asshole.

One what? LHO was a leftist, or do you think communism is of the right?

also stolen from Twitter:

Right: Let's do genocide
Left: Let's not do genocide
Center: Guys, you're gonna have to compromise, let's just do /some/ genocide
Right: I guess I can live with that for now
Left: No
Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh

replied before the edit.

LHO was 55 years ago. You're making my point for me.

How much genocide came from the left? Hint, it’s in the hundreds of millions.

Communism still exists to this day.

I know right.

Even if you put Hitler on the right you still have all the deaths from the USSR, Eastern Europe (while under communist rule), China, North Korea, Vietnam, and all other communist countries in Asia.

another thing about this - the media (and the right) inevitably go to the most privileged people in the country - rich white men - to get their take on why the people being kicked around are getting uppity about it.

How the fuck would THEY know?

Ever notice how when a lone nut gibbers incoherent right-wing shit, the right can't wash their hands of him fast enough, but when the lone nut gibbers incoherent left-wing shit, we're supposed to own them, and apologize like we made the guy in a Play-Doh factory?

I can't even with this shit. Either you are profoundly more stupid than I took you for or you're fucking with me and either way...just no.

Because totalitarian dictators are super truthful about their philosophy, and would never lie to get the plebes on board.

all of which is entirely off topic to this thread. Perhaps there's a reason y'all feel the need to re-locate the goal posts into the next state?

Don't fall into the whataboutism trap that has been indoctrinated into you. The American left is a long stretch from the horrors committed in the name of Communism.

I didn't take Donald Trump seriously and didn't think he had a prayer of winning the presidency. My "best case" scenario in 2016 was that a Hillary Clinton victory would not be big enough to take the House and/or Senate from the Republicans.

Slower, for the slower among us:

it's...an...EXAMPLE...of...the...current...media...debate...about...civility...and...political...compromise.

The topic before us is NOT literal genocide. But hey, let me help you out one last time:

Right: Let's put kids in cages
Left: Let's not put kids in cages
Center: Guys, you're gonna have to compromise, let's just put /some/ kids in cages
Right: I guess I can live with that for now
Left: No
Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh


Get it now?

You're trying to pound a square peg into a hole in his head that looks like the T shaped Tetris piece.
It ain't going in.

Why no thread about this act of violence, then?

There is one.

You just posted it.

Do you believe communism exists now, yes or no?

Not so's you'd notice.

Since Nova can’t or won’t answer, do you believe communism exists in the world, yes or no?
