Lmao, indeed!
lmao libs are gonna get us all killed.
Wdym... don't ye see the bad in assassinating (ex-)president Trump...
Bruz, I cannogt believe the incivility of this radical leftist to say this shit, man! I thought this was like Reddit...
😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
No. We may all be Americans, but MAGA is an alt-right hateful term, and I will never align myself with that.
We can align as Americans and condemn violence, but that means condemning all violence.
I'm not American
So what happens if Trump wins and goes full hitler? You just gonna line up to get carted off to a camp? Because this seems to be something you libs also think. So if that is the stakes then when does violence become acceptable?
I am genuinely curious how far your absolute pacifism goes.
Or what about the violence being funded by our government being inflicted on Palestinians and still being perpetrated against Native people here?
That violence is okay with you right?
Don't lie to yourself you people fucking love violence when it benefits you.
No. We may all be Americans, but MAGA is an alt-right hateful term, and I will never align myself with that.
We can align as Americans and condemn violence, but that means condemning all violence.
/ seriously Well, have ye heard of the term "chickens coming home to roost"? I think that's what Trump had coming for him, I guess...
Do you condemn the violence necessary to continue the existence of America?
Genuinely, if Trump is a genuine risk to democracy and risks increasing support to Israel, why must he be defeated in a vote? Like, if he becomes Hitler 2 and erases democracy and ups the genocide, is that okay with you because he won the vote?
Spoiler: It is
He must be defeated in a vote to send a clear message he is not wanted/has no mandate. He can cry “stolen election” all he wants, he won’t be in charge, and after 2 presidential losses and 2 disastrous midterms the GOP will move on. Eventually he has to win or he has no power.
Sir, this is a meme community.
Wdym... civility demands this, so?
😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You don't have to be a MAGA worshiper to be a decent human being that doesn't want someone to be killed by a random person, because of their beliefs or talking points. That being said... I want to hear that Trump died in a federal prison of natural causes.
So you think Hitler didn't deserve to die? That all the Nazi officers america brought here and gave government positions were deserving.
Godwin
Godwin thinks Trump Hitler comparisons are totally fair because Trump is a fascist looking to install a fascist regime in America. It's a good read.

That's cool, thank you for sending that!
Maga worshippers tend to be the exact opposite of decent human beings.
I was playing along with OP's narrative.
Amen...
Troll gonna troll.
Nah, violence is a tool, and if someone poses a genuine threat to democracy and can up the genocide, it's understandable that people would try to stop them. If they get democratically elected and then commit a bunch of genocide, them getting popped is a consequence.
Regardless of what causes it or where he happens to be when it happens, I'm looking forward to his funeral.

I'm not condoning what was done. It truly is awful what happened. However, you spout hateful, phobic, misogynistic, ableist rhetoric since the 2016 campaign? Maybe don't be surprised.
Liberals being useless and ceding ground to the right for the sake of "civility" once again.
I’ve seen the author on political shows in the UK. She’s the worst kind of right wing hack and her opinions are worthless.
I condemn such political violence, but I wouldn't have shed a single tear for Trump.
Fuck MAGA. Fuck Trump.
I do not.
Fuck MAGA, Try again on Trump.
Why condemn it? Violence is an unfortunate tool, but a tool nontheless, and abandoning it when oppressors use it without care just means you aren't taking things seriously. Hitler should have been assassinated.
By weighing all violence as immoral you are not ruling it out completely. You make it a last-resort, where you avoid one great injustice with a lesser injustice - a lesser injustice which you still face consequences for.
The alternative is morally sanctifying some murders, which leads to 'morally justified' murders being done by all political sides (since they each view themselves as 'the moral ones'), and which eventually gets twisted into the party in power murdering their opponents with impunity because it's 'morally justified'.

I would like to put it on the record that I'm 100% not MAGA. Not today. Not ever. Also, go fuck yourself.
Gross. Absolutely gross.
I'm not MAGA, but anyone that supports assasination as a tool of politics is a traitor to the constitution and a terrorist against the people and should be dealt with accordingly
Lmao

The most perturbing question for the liberal is the question of violence. The liberal’s initial reaction to violence is to try to convince the oppressed that violence is an incorrect tactic, that violence will not work, that violence never accomplishes anything. The Europeans took America through violence and through violence they established the most powerful country in the world. Through violence they maintain the most powerful country in the world. It is absolutely absurd for one to say that violence never accomplishes anything.
Today power is defined by the amount of violence one can bring against one’s enemy — that is how you decide how powerful a country is; power is defined not by the number of people living in a country, it is not based on the amount of resources to be found in that country, it is not based upon the good will of the leaders or the majority of that people. When one talks about a powerful country, one is talking precisely about the amount of violence that that country can heap upon its enemy. We must be clear in our minds about that. Russia is a powerful country, not because there are so many millions of Russians but because Russia has great atomic strength, great atomic power, which of course is violence. America can unleash an infinite amount of violence, and that is the only way one considers America powerful. No one considers Vietnam powerful, because Vietnam cannot unleash the same amount of violence. Yet if one wanted to define power as the ability to do, it seems to me that Vietnam is much more powerful than the United States. But because we have been conditioned by Western thoughts today to equate power with violence, we tend to do that at all times, except when the oppressed begin to equate power with violence — then it becomes an “incorrect” equation.
