No. Because everyone should be held in the same standard. The moment that one is given a special treatment over the other is when justice fails.

Judging someone for being "less" evil because they're just the average joe and not the president is grasping at straws. It's nothing but a scapegoat for bad behavior and just makes certain individuals to feel less guilty about their terrible actions.

When you say everyone should be held to the same standard, are you saying that the one who advocated for violence should be considered less then the one who actually committed the violence.  Am I reading what you are saying correctly.

As to your second paragraph, who is judging someone less evil because they have less influence.  The question is does someone with more influence should be held to a higher standard.  With that statement, do you believe that if Trump advocated violence and violence was done in his name, only the people who committed the violence should be punished.

Just to give you a heads up. I'm done with this argument as I don't like banging my head against the wall over an argument that goes nowhere. It seems that people like you can't comprehend that all people should be held on the same standard of ethics. Someone has already given a much better explanation about this argument. So as people don't become hypocrites.

Now I would appreciate it if you don't quote or reply to me again regarding this matter. Thanks.
