I’m just gonna repost my comment here from a different post because i think it fits this one even better:
Its horrific to watch left (wing) leaning politicians tripping over themselves wishing trump a speedy recovery and condemning violence in any way, and then see the comments filled with fascists literally telling them that they will kill them for “demonizing the right and causing this to happen.”.
It is terrifying.
“We wish mr.trump a speedy recovery! Violence is never the answer! We hope he is okay! 🥺”
“You caused this by demonizing us and calling us fascists and nazis. We will come for you and kill you.”
“Totally understandable! We are so sorry! 🙏🥺 Please continue your quest for genocide and the elimination of democracy! Again, so sorry! Forgive me! 🙏😭”
That sums up my feelings. The fascists will argue as if their opponents are the violent ones and so their violence is justified and necessary. They started the violent rhetoric. They’re the ones who want certain groups to not exist anymore however it has to happen.
They’re just going to “no you” and say whatever they think will get people to let them do violence

I am a simple human, I see Letterkenny, I upvote. …and I suggest you let that one marinate.
When I say they’re a threat to democracy…
This. This is what I mean. Political violence is never good. But trump’s rhetoric has made it… maybe justified?
Like his potential presidency is an existential threat to anyone who doesn’t agree with him; or they’re able to other-ize
LGBTQ, immigrants, racial minorities. Politically opposed, anyone with sufficient education to know he’s fucking stupid,
The courts have certainly been incapable of halting his rampant criminality. And that’s a problem.
