    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.

          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

        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!

      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.

                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.

            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”.
