    Your conservative neighbors, coworkers and family may offer you smiles and politeness, but they will absolutely not mourn your loss if you or your family are killed by other conservatives. Empathy is simply not a conservative trait. This is team sports to them and you are not on their team.

    Conservatives might not all be training or planning to attack the normal people, but many of them are. Many of them may be people you know. Be ready.

      “Burn_The_Right”

      Rabid partisan politics can affect anyone to the point of advocating violence, as it obviously has done to you. You are acting as a provocateur, trying to reinforce an expectation of violence.

      You say empathy is not a conservative trait, then demonstrate your own lack of empathy.

      You say they see this as a team sports delusion, then treat it like one yourself. Every perosn has individual thoughts and decision matrixes, even the dipshit MAGAs. If you engaged with empathy rather than fear and arrogance, you’d be able to articulate a warning without that all or nothing doomer rhetoric.

      You’ve becone the same monster you are scared of.

        hey, just because one side

        • keeps threatening with violence,
        • keeps brandishing weapons as a threat of violence,
        • actually commits violence,
        • fantasizes and talks about secession,
        • is proud of previous attempts of secession and the civil war they lost,
        • actually tried to violently overthrow the government and hang the vice president,
        • supports and celebrates state violence,
        • advocates for more state violence against minorities,

        … doesn’t mean that all of a sudden you can say they want to commit violence, you monster!

          That’s obviously not what I was saying and not how I was saying it, and you know it.

          Perhaps if you weren’t so locked and loaded to attack anything not tightly fit into your bubble you’d react with reasonable questions and discussion as a response instead of trying to play gotcha nonsense.

          When their entire account persona I was replying to is based around countering MAGA violence with more implied violence while not providing alternative solutions or even ideas, they’re just acting as another side of the same coin of the asshole MAGAs that we rail against.

          Remain calm, the MAGA gravy seals are not as worthy of the panic inducing threat category you fear they are in.
