“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics,” Trump said told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he added.

Democrats really need to tone down the rhetoric. It makes people think Trump wants violence and to end democracy

(this was sarcasm brought to you by right wing media and Vance parroting this talking point, then dumbfuck rest of media picking it up as news)

How can you blame Democrats for Trump's words?

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago

Either a very poor attempt to avoid Poe's law, or they're truly lost on how words work.

Have you not heard Trump? He is literally keeps saying he wants violence and to end democracy. If anything Harris should be ramping it up, why would they not say hea a threat to democracy when he literally wants to be a dictator and arrest his opponents etc.

Also Trump and Vance have intensified the violence and extreme language against the democrats - claiming the same things that are supposedly endangering the GOP so its ridiculous to claim the democrats are at fault here.

edit: I missed that OP was being sarcastic since there many pundits actually saying this shit

I'm pretty sure Boss is being sarcastic.
