There you go, completely off the rails again. I never said that, and I’m pretty certain that a lot of this thread disagrees with that statement. There are absolutely cases where politicians should have violence inflicted on them. That doesn’t mean anyone is calling for it in this case.
If Trump refuses to leave office in 2028, I would be totally behind an assassination attempt. If the state doesn’t use its monopoly on the use of violence to maintain democracy, it loses the right to that monopoly.
Wait, so I am confused. I said that some people seemed to be for violence, and you said I was wrong. Now you are saying that a lot in this thread disagree with my statement that violence isn’t the answer.
I disagree.Please disengage from this conversation. You and I are not going to agree on the violence thing. I don’t advocate violence against any politician regardless of party. I hope this incel shooter gets caught, stands trial, and goes to prison for rest of his life. Good day to you.
What is this, an Abbott and Costello bit? The words in a sentence are important - all of them. There are differences between people being for violence (as if that’s a thing), people recognizing that violence is sometimes necessary, people thinking that violence is appropriate in response to this issue, and people calling for violence. Those all mean different things. Maybe you throw them all in the same mental bucket, but they are not the same. This is a symptom of thinking in thought terminating cliches. That used to be a Republican thing, but its sad how often I’m seeing it now on the left.
Which is fine. There is nothing wrong with us disagreeing on that. The problem is when you mix that in with accusations that I (and others) support violence in cases where we don’t, or claim we are calling for violence in response to this incident when we have done no such thing.
Sure, I have no doubt that you can keep it going all by yourself. You really don’t need me for it.
disengage
You don’t get to decide when others disengage, only yourself. If you don’t want more replies, just stop commenting.
You just had a comment in this thread removed for advocating violence. You trying to get your comments removed for slapfighting too or what? Just move on. wth?! you made your point. I made my point. let it go
Mods will mod. I don’t think that comment should have been removed, but I’m not going to protest it.
I’ll go with “what”. I’m not sure the mods will penalize me for not following your commands.
It may go whenever it wants.
Well, based on your the history of you getting stuff removed, our conversation here is done. I’m now blocking you, so I won’t see your reply. Good luck! Looks like you are gonna need it in your life.
