So you've got footage of a democratic politician saying we need to kill Brett, the same way the house minority leader said he wanted to hit Pelosi with a hammer?


Is Pelosi saying she wants to hit Trump any different than McCarthy saying he wants to whack her with the speaker's gavel? Both are inappropriate, but neither is seriously advocating violence against the other.

they're different in one way, Pelosi trying to physically hurt trump would be a sick combination of pathetic and cute. it's like your grandma saying "i wish i was there i would have gone at him", there's zero threat of actual harm.

overall i find the whole "encouraging violence" narratives against politicians when an actual attack happens to be fairly hollow. nutbags take what obviously not meant to be literal 100% serious and have a psychotic break then we blame CNN or Fox News? silly.

I mean there's a bit of a difference when you realize the republican base is much more prone to violent acts of terror in America than the left. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2122593119

Inciting stochastic terrorism through demonization of your political opposition is going to result in violence if your base if a bunch of nutjobs with guns and nothing to lose.

Literally linked you the analysis comparing right and left-wing political violence in America. Sorry your party is closer to ISIS than you'd like to admit.

I can read. The right is cancer. The left is chemo.

Agree?
