I hear a lot of people saying that he was stopping a dictator, and that he was a patriot.

I’ll remind you, that is exactly what republicans are saying about the January 6th rioters. 

You are not different just because “I’m right”.

We are no better than them if we do this stuff and say it was to protect democracy. 

If anything, this should be a wake-up call about how much we have invested in this election, and how much we have blown things way out of proportion.

Okay, this is dumb, but isn’t it a little weird that Lincoln’s assassin, Kennedy’s assassin, and Trump’s would be assassin all went by their middle name too?

John Wilkes Booth

Lee Harvey Oswald

Thomas Mathew Crooks

I can’t remember who shot Garfield and McKinnley, but either way, I think that’s kinda interesting.

No we acknowledge they are rioters like you do. The only public statements made are that the non violent ones should not be in prison. There isn't even calls to release them all, just for the ones who did not engage in violence. There is no moral equivalency here

Bullshit. You guys call them political prisoners, patriots and hostages. Trump has called them that and said he will pardon them.

Trump thinks political violence is fine.

You might think they are rioters, but Trump sure doesn’t.

Remember that Cassidy Hutchinson said Trump said 'hang' as he watched rioters chant 'hang Mike Pence' on Jan. 6

I doubt more than 1% of people support what he did. Even people who hate Trump to the extent that they would like to see him *redacted* would overwhelmingly prefer it to be through some formal governmental process. Some random schizo capping a nominee and former president while also killing innocent people isn’t something any sane person supports

and former president
This is a twice impeached former president facing multiple indictments. A president who told a BIG LIE trying to steal an election.

I might be. Being right does sometimes matter.

Rioters can be patriots. That's where the USA came from.

You are missing the whole point of politics today, this is reality TV politics, where we have performances instead of policies, outrage instead of reason, and fascism instead of democracy.  All that matters is whether it is good television, and does it get clicks.

Aa assassination is great for ratings, and that's all that matters.

The ADL links one post to a troll about antisemitism and mentions that Nick Fuentes speculated about a Mossad operation. Is this what we are calling widespread antisemitism? A few twiiter trolls at most and speculation about an intelligence agency?

Of yeah, like that's not enough for you, most of your nonsense is based on much less, especially antisemitic nonsense.

Trump should clarify this.  If he means, "Hitler was vegetarian", then I agree.  If it's, "Genociding a bunch of people", then I strongly disagree.

His vagueness is an indication that it's towards the ladder, which if it's true, then I find it bewildering that Hasidics vote for Trump.
