So in your head its bad, but in reality we've had like 1 political shooting/attack since Trump took office.
it's bad in my head too, and i expected far more political violence from 2016-2020. but here we are in reality where rhetoric is barbaric, death threats are abound, and the world turns on.
i can connect all kinds of things, 7 degrees of kevin bacon. that doesnt mean the two people know each other in reality.
Yes, only in IceMage's head is it bad when the president groups journalists in with America's enemies. And who would ever dare to suggest being an enemy of America could result in bodily harm?

Hey icemage lets back up a few pages
Does someone saying "Abortion is murder" automatically mean that they are saying women who have abortions should be hung from the neck until dead?
Who is saying it?
If it's Trump, apparently we have to apply a totally different standard to his rhetoric. He's not really saying abortion is murder, he's just engaging in hyperbole, and his words have no effect on the national discourse. If an abortion clinic got shot up a week after he said it, it would be liberal propaganda to talk about the connection.
