Shouts of “he should be shot” could be heard multiple times Thursday night at the Republican midterm convention as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was criticizing prominent Democratic politicians by name.
It really isn’t. Your comparing mainstream members to randoms on the Internet. At best you’re being disengenous, if not outright lying to make a point.
Any idiot can say whatever dumb shit they want on the internet (as evidenced by the conversation above), but you can’t honestly say both sides are advocating for this at the party level.
Well, not without being a liar, anyway. That never stops the right and idiot centrists from crying BoTh SiDeS to things that are demonstratably coming from the right primarily.
I’m copying from another comment so I don’t have to type it again:
“The politics here are just as real as they are there. What do you think emboldened conservative leaders to spout shit like this in the first place? It’s the fact that their base supports it, and the calls for violence here on Lemmy are no different, except that we’re sympathetic to the reasons.”
Nope, you’re conflating party level advocacy with randos on the internet, and it’s a bullshit comparison. And this advocacy has come from the party leadership for decades.
One party is OPENLY KIRKING PEOPLE IN THE STREET and there’s no pushback at the party level on one side, but plenty on the other.
Your argument is the most hollow both sides bullshit.
Ok bud, enjoy that hypocrisy and moral superiority, and tell yourself you were right all along as you continue to contribute to burning everything down.
I will, as long as my enemy burns with it. Conservatives have already sentenced our planet to death. I will do everything in my power to make it hurt conservatives as much as possible. We are enemies, just as you insist. Get off our planet.
All i know is: If they’re coming at me with guns, I’m fighting back with guns. I don’t have to feel guilty because they started it and I don’t have to die to “preserve civility and norms”.
Ooh ooh ooh, I know this one!
It’s a false dichotomy!

They are you just choose not to see it.

That last one is my favorite it talks about dog whistles on the democratic side.
My point has been consistent. Both sides suck both parties suck
Nazis and genociders suck. Fuck you for defending them, stupid-ass nazi.
I’m confused I provided sources? That’s what you wanted?
“Wahhh, Trump is being targeted.”
Wish they hadn’t missed. He’s a wannabe Hitler.
Fuck you and your false equivalences.
Ah so I provided sources and you decided to still be biased. Good job.
What Democratic politician has called for killing Republicans?
Just gonna repeat the first comment I made in this thread, it’s still just as accurate:
Wow, you’ve really convinced me with all of the sources for your totally real and not baseless claim!

Yeah, I’m a hypocrite for not letting you peddle bullshit about both parties advocating for violence at the party level, which is the original point.
Again, I’m not letting you put words in my mouth. If you want to have that argument with someone, go for it.
Why would I need to put words in your mouth when you openly blame victims for wanting to defend themselves against random violence from bigots.
No one put those nazi lies in your mouth. You brought those from home. Stop breathing and start doing the right thing by getting off our planet.
I will, as long as my enemy burns with it. Conservatives have already sentenced our planet to death. I will do everything in my power to make it hurt conservatives as much as possible. We are enemies, just as you insist. Get off our planet.

Said everyone on all sides to justify their violence.
Can the idea that one side isn’t lying possibly penetrate your thick skull?
How did the conflict start?
Holy shit you suck.
You are a liar and you defend nazis, making you a nazi. Get off our planet.
You are lying. As usual.
