    Former president, and current Republican frontrunner. If condoning political violence is bad, then Trump is the next Charles Manson in instilling violence in his cult.

      You’re all misreading what I said. I never said it was bad. I said it was stupid.

      I will say myself that I wish Trump were shot in the head (barring the unfortunate side effects that would bring about but that’s a separate conversation).

      But I’m not standing on a stage next to Jack Black 🤷

      So as long as someone else does something first, any act is justifiable in your mind?

      It’s so weird that one assassination attempt turns everyone into grade schoolers.

        You’re generalizing too hard. There is a legally convicted felon inciting race riots and attempts to overthrow the government. He had his chance as a leader, caused mass cultural and economic damage to America, and he is looking to do it again.

        Violence is historically what is needed to make change to a government that is out of touch with the culture and the people it’s meant to represent.
