There's calling for civil war and then there's just mentioning it for reasons, like the temperatures rising to high and needs to stop. How often do Reps call for civil war? And no, any Dems thinking there's some conspiratorial secret code going on between Reps doesn't count because it's not a thing.

I'm not going to list all the negative things the Dems say about the Reps, Trump in particular, because it's too long and we all know it. Neither side is void of this.

As to the X post. How many Reps think what happened on Jan 6th, beyond the protest itself, was acceptable? How many Reps think DJT should be assassinated? Isn't DJT the Rep candidate (very soon to be official), chosen by the Rep voters? If you're against Trump and those voters, willing to take a shot at Trump, what does that make you? It doesn't automatically make you a Dem, but it also certainly means you're against Trump and those who stand behind him. Anybody can call themselves whatever they want, but it doesn't necessarily make it true.

I'm also not going to list all the Dem violence, because we all know as well. Neither side is void of this.

Taking a side, then trying to prove it's all or only the opposition, is just taking the assassination level temperatures and turning them up even more. It's the kind of thing that leads to civil war. So if civil was isn't what you want, you shouldn't be taking part in that.

Just curious, but do you condemn the rhetoric that Trump uses to criticize the Dems the same way you criticize the rhetoric that is used against Trump?

My personal opinion is that truth is the measure a lot of rhetoric should be measured against, not bitterness or cruelty. There is a lot of truth to the mainstream criticisms of Donald Trump, but I see a lot of lies in his criticisms of the Democrats...

That isn't to say no Democrat (mainstream or otherwise) has gone too far with their rhetoric, but I think there is a clear difference between most of the noise coming out of the two camps.

So you don't see democrats calling for violence?  There are people on VG that have commented that they wish the shooter had better aim.  Tenacious D cancelled their tour because of similar comments.  

I will grant you that liberal politicians are not expressing the desire for violence, but we shouldn't pretend that random morons are both sides are anything short of disgusting.  

Meaning in that video, finding a few jackholes is cherry picking.  There are plenty of "wish he had better aim" comments floating around.  

What rhetoric would that be exactly?  Could you be more specific? Personally I can't think of a worse rhetoric than "this person is basically Hitler" and all the loose and not-so-loose references to him being killed the other side has mongered in the mainstream for eight years.

I agree that truth should be what rhetoric should me measured on.  The bitterness and cruelty I'm referencing is the open, zealous cries of demise for someone they don't like.  I'd bet money most of the same ones wishing death on the man have no idea what he actually did as president, only that they feel a certain way, those feelings being installed by the same media that despises him.  

Republicans think democrats are wrong and the far left is evil in their eyes. The democrats think orange man bad because the tv told them and that he should die.  Is that the clear difference? 

Tell that to Trump's Vice President.

J.D. Vance Once Compared Trump To Hitler.

There's a big difference between "Trump's going to destroy and/or weaken the institutions of Democracy" and "Trump is Hitler", heck even calling him a "fascist" is different than calling him "Hitler" in the sense that Hitler gassed millions of Jews and invaded half of Europe. I wouldn't call him Hitler, I'd call him a fascist who supports the 21st century Hitler though (Putin).

I don't know what Americans are seeing but from what I'm seeing the media has treated Trump with kids gloves, Imho the media wants Trump back, why? Cause he's better for their bottom line, controversy causes clicks, that generates income, the NYT has been confirmed to purposely write negative articles on Biden because he wouldn't sit down with them for an interview, other members of media 2 years ago were complaining that Biden is too boring compared to Trump.

Your last part is completely inaccurate and bias towards Republicans. According to you, Republicans think Democrats are wrong and that the far left is evil, based on their own intelligence but Democrats think Trump is bad because the TV told them, Lmao. The condescension is off the charts, I like how there's no mention of the far-right in your post, only the far-left seems to exist in your equation.

And yes I dislike far-left too, the commie idiots who support Russia, can't say I can single out a single far-left politician in America though in both House and Senate, while I can easily pick out multiple far-right politicians in House and Senate such as JD Vance and Marjorie Taylor Greene (so far-right she was evicted from the Freedom Caucus)

Republicans are currently demonising minorities, LGBTQ+ and aggressively targeting abortion, ripping away women's rights, Trump and his Vice President intend on turning America into an isolationist hellhole that backstabs its allies (unless you're called Israel, then you can bomb however many children you want) but everyone else? Fuck em. Trump's God awful handling of COVID got thousands killed. Project 2025 is linked to him in multiple ways (campaign staff, both former and current) and aims to weaken the Democratic institutions of America.
