Are Democrats to blame for the Trump assassination attempts?
Episode 192 Sneak Peek
Trump is calling out the Democrats after a second attempt was made on his life a few days ago. In a social media post, he seemed to blame Democrats for the event, saying they’d been escalating “politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.” Vance is sticking to the party line: he’s said, “No one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months, and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months […] I’d say that’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out,” according to NBC’s reporting on a recent event in Atlanta.
Are Democrats really to blame for the assassination attempts? While Trump and Vance’s vitriolic comments about Haitian immigrants have created safety concerns for the immigrant communities they’re targeting, for them to call out Democrats for heightened violent rhetoric seems hypocritical, to say the absolute least. We’ve got a lot more to say about it, and we’ll be diving into that this week on Episode 192 of KK&F. See you soon!
I just can’t anymore. The “divisive” language the “left” uses is so mild and non-threatening compared to actually divisive language on the right. The left at its worst says “democracy is on the line”, “they are fascists”, and “we need to stop them”. No actual threatening language.
The right has regularly openly threatened the left and others more and more over the last couple of decades at least. The implied threat of “using their second amendment” to shooting objects with democrats faces on them, to Trump’s knock them out or lay them out or a multitude of assault language. It is clear on the statistics alone that the right is more likely to action violence. The fact that the right can say such non-sense and people actually believe it leaves me in a position of understanding just how horrible the future is for humanity. Almost makes me glad that we are destroying ourselves.
The RW will cry 1A, when they threaten entire communities.
When their hateful, revenge driven fantasies are noted and observed, it's "heated Marxist Fascist rhetoric" because nebulous reasons.
It's a One Way Street, lined with cynical hacks who would rather be loud than fair.
