    If I led a violent mob to ransack the Capitol with a credible threat to the lives of several lawmakers in order to keep myself in power getting called a "threat to democracy" would be the absolute bare ****ing minimum I should expect to happen to me. That's to say nothing of the well-documented and numerous attempts to crush free and fair elections via the courts and bureaucracy.

    Calling Trump a racist or a bigot or threat to democracy is no more a call to violence than Trump calling Kamala a Marxist or blaming her for the border or the stock market.

    So much whining. Put your big boy pants on.

    Democrats don’t need to tone down a damn thing

    MAGAts spew hateful sh*t all day then clutch pearls…gimme a fcking break

    bunch of clowns

    this is the 2nd time some random republican tried something with Trump…maybe they should take time to reflect on why so many of their own resort to violence when it comes to politics

    when schools get shot up, we need to get over it and move on, but when a republican attacks Trump, we’re all of the sudden supposed to care and feel sorry for him :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Hateful Rhetoric?

    Let's not forget January 6

    also..

    TRUMP on Hillary "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks, Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

    TRUMP at a rally " I would like to Punch the protester in the face."

    RON DeSANTIS. "And then on bureaucracy we're going to have all these deep state people, we're going to start slitting throats on day one"

    KARI LAKE "If you want to get to President Trump, you're going to have to go through me, and you're going to have to go through somebody else. 75 million Americans just like me, and I'm going to tell you, yep, most of us are card carrying members of the NRA."

    TRUMP at a Rally regarding a protester "I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks"

    TRUMP threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged in New York

    TRUMP often encouraged his supporters to "Knock The Hell" out of protesters at his rallies

    MT GREENE once liked a comment that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

    In a campaign video MT GREENE likened Democrats to destructive feral hogs. But Marjorie had a solution: As the camera followed her, she grabbed a rifle and climbed aboard a waiting helicopter, where she tracked down and shot a fleeing hog. In the next scene, quite pleased with herself, Greene posed next to her dead prey

    According to PRRI research 40 percent of people who “most trust” far-right news sources, believe that “true patriots” may have to resort to violence to “save” the country — a statement that gets far less support among Democrats and independents.

    And what he did isn't a crime in Florida because of DeSantis and the NRA.

    1. This is incorrect and also irrelevant. Harris did receive primary votes as the running mate to Biden.
    2. It doesn't matter because each party can choose their nominee in any way they see fit.
    3. Illegal migrants can't vote for the President.
    4. Trumped stopped measures that would have avoided more undocumented people entering our nation. He wouldn't have done stopped the measures from passing congress if there was a way that it would lead to more votes for his Democratic opponent. Even Trump isn't that stupid.

    You are incorrect in almost every single thing that you put forward in this post.

    It seems you do not understand how the party nominee process works. Harris secured 99% of delegate votes to win the nomination.

    Why would Trump actively sabotaged a highly conservative bipartisan border bill in 2023 if your claim of illegal immigrant voting is correct?

    Illegal immigrants are barred from voting in federal elections, and even conservative data shows that illegal voting fraud is virtually nonexistent.

    Trump's legal issues stem directly from his own alleged criminal actions. He has explicitly stated his intention to use the Department of Justice to target his political opponents, which you apparently support.

    Crime rates have been on a historical downturn during the Biden administration, contradicting claims of widespread lawlessness in Democratic-run cities.

    Unfortunately, we have seen assassination attempts by individuals with unstable mental states. It is incorrect to link these attempts to Democrats. One attacker was a former Trump supporter, and the other was a registered Republican.

    Trump's actions, including inciting a violent mob to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election and attempting to overturn the will of the people, present a clear and present danger to democratic principles. For that and many other reasons, many of HIS former cabinet members have called him unfit, and many Republicans endorse Harris due to concerns about Trump's threat to the Constitution and democracy.

    Tell the Republicans and Trump voters to stop trying to assasinate him then.

    Because they're hateful and spiteful, unlike the folks sending bomb and death threats to the people of Springfield that started from a baseless rumor Trump and Vance are peddling.

    Seriously, Trump and his MAGATS have already tried to circumvent democracy. His own VP refuses to associate with him because he had the audacity to certify the election against Trumps orders. It has literally already happened, and they have the audacity to act as though people are chasing wild conspiracies with the accusations.

    Every time I remember that, can you imagine the nuclear meltdown that would have happened it if were brown people that tried Jan 6. But no, it was the Aryan pride group, so they try to act as though it wasn't a big deal.

    Republicans voters have a willing ignorance in regards to Trump that is absolutely terrifying.

    When you need high variance to win - you do high risky and high variance actions, like refuse to hand over a shooting suspect to the FBI.

    Assuming that this is even a true report about DeSantis, he is an idiot.

    To think he somehow wants to turn an assassination attempt into political games.

    I didn't ask for them to denounce them. I pointed out that the glee and hate of the leftists is very obvious, and that for many of them, the only thing they regret is that the attempts were (so far) unsuccessful.

    This 100 %.

    Even in that 10 minute softball "interview" she just did, there was a question by the interviewer if she can at all understand why people would support Trump.

    She (as usual) went off on a tangent, then gave some lip service to "all Americans needing to become more united", only to then launch into more demonization of Trump - and not answering the question at all.

    Great way to "unite" the country - demonizing the political opponent.

    Clearly not practicing what she started preaching there.

    Look like the last guy was hiding with his gun there for like 12 hours before they found him, which is pretty crazy.
