So, “people who committed three violent crimes” are the protected class you’re worried might come to harm? You’re right, this government risks seriously harming the triple felon community.
> President Donald Trump on Thursday accused several Democratic lawmakers of “seditious behavior,” calling for them to “be arrested and put on trial” for behavior that, he said, could be “punishable by death.”
I suspect this is largely driven by a subset of liberals who have equated words they don't like with violence. So when someone like Kirk commits a misgendering or some other verbal assault against their beliefs, this is essentially the same as exacting physical violence. Which by that logic can be responded to with actual physical violence.
It's very twisted, and fortunately not all liberals have this perspective. Some are actually liberal in their beliefs.
> On the other hand, a liberal did kill Charlie Kirk in cold blood because the killer had a trans girlfriend and was mad about Kirk‘a opinions. So, maybe some people should be afraid of violence.
My friend, this is a clownshoes-ass take. First, the motives of this dude are still unknown. His entire family are Trump-supporters. Dude grew up shooting guns and being a good ol' boy (hence the reason he, y'know, had access to, and knowledge of how to shoot and kill someone from such a distance at the age of 22). Second, literally on the same day Kirk was killed, there was a school shooting by a literal Neo-Nazi. And a couple months prior to Kirk's killing, a Trump-voting, anti-abortion nutcase literally assassinated the leader of the Minnesota State House and her husband, shot and nearly killed a member of the State Senate and his wife, and had a list of 70 other, all democratic politicians, he'd apparently intended to assassinate. And here you are still focused on the one time you could shoehorn some cherry-pickin' ass example of an alleged "leftist" being violent into this conversation. For 30 years, right-wing extremist political violence has been far more common and far more deadly than their left-wing extremist counterparts. https://ccjls.scholasticahq.com/article/26973-far-left-versu...
The irony here is, you're simultaneously claiming it's ridiculous to suggest Trump wants to "round-up" liberals, while using the same bullshit guilt-by-extremely-stretched-association rhetoric about Kirk's assassination to paint "liberals" as violent that he's currently using to justify treating his critics as "terrorists". Read through this bad-boy, and with a straight face tell anyone Trump's not interested in "rounding up" his dissidents https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/coun... Would he be successful in trying this? Probably not. But I sure as hell don't feel one bit certain that people like you would move a muscle to stop it, being so easily convinced of such contemptible nonsense.
The difference honestly is that mainstream liberals — otherwise normal people from all walks of life were, publicly and unabashedly giddy with delight about the Kirk shooting, whereas I haven’t seen any normal people glorify the right-wing psychopaths who committed the heinous acts you spoke of, besides probably some cowardly anon 4chan trolls.
What worries me is how much the political “team” you seem to identify with considers it justifiable to kill. Be honest, how many people in your personal bubble expressed annoyance that the Trump shooter missed?
The party system has devolved from theory and ideas into absolute tribal barbarism, but I can’t believe it’s the Democrats, who I used to count myself among, and saw as the peaceful and mature ones, leading that charge. There’s a rot in the Democratic Party, and it’s in the morality department.
Ohhhh please. Donald Trump, the most influential and significant member of the Republican Party (and tons of other v important folks downstream from him) were giddy with joy when Nancy Pelosi’s husband was nearly killed by a lunatic with a hammer. They joked about this repeatedly. Charlie Kirk, himself, also joked about this incident, and even suggested “some amazing patriot” bail the attacker out of prison. This is categorically different from random YouTube dipshits saying unkind things about a reprehensible bigot being killed.
You could also trivially compare the responses from Democratic politicians to, e.g., Trump’s assassination attempt, the Charlie Cook killing to Republican politicians’ responses to the Minnesota political assassin, the shooting of Gabby Gifford, and the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband. There is a shocking contrast that is well evident to anyone not stewing their brains in RW propaganda.
Trump literally pardoned every Jan 6th participant, including those who assaulted police officers. I struggle to think of a more obvious example of demonstrating support for political violence.
You also apparently missed the countless conservative influencers calling for outright civil war after Kirk’s killing. I cannot fathom how you’ve drawn this conclusion. Certainly not from observing reality.
