    It’s only ok to incite violence when we do it.

    Wasn’t the guy who shot Trump a registered Republican?

    Is it possible that he was incited to violence by… other Republicans?

      Yep. And confirmed conservative, if recent headlines are to be trusted.

      We pretending like every thread on Lemmy wasn’t filled with “wish he had better aim” sentiment?

        When both teams suck, all you can do is root for injuries. But no, “I wish you’d just die already” is not a call to violence.

          I remember you from the other thread. You’re a fan of feigning ignorance if it helps your point.

          Read this thread. The people encouraging violence are upvoted far more and those discouraging it are downvoted.

          It’s not just that thread either.

          To continue a theme from our previous thread - you mind if we quit playing stupid?
