Pretty worried about the comments man. Murdering (or trying to) a candidate of any political party is terrible.
Not only is it terrible, it's an actual threat to democracy.
I don't know how anyone is surprised though. When you use words like "Nazi" and "existential threat" and "threat to our democracy" it can't be a shock when someone tries to become a historic hero for taking out the supposed next Hitler, and people who buy into that propaganda language are going to cheer them on and want more of it. They're frothing at the mouth, imagining they're on the right side of history.
I get what the Dems are trying to do with pushing that language, but it really is playing with fire. It was a 50/50 chance that they could get him ineligible to run, alive or dead, and they've lost each bet.
His victory as president of the US is a threat to democracy. He already attempted a coup in 2021
I mean, he attempted a coup in the same way Biden sent that kid to shoot Trump a few days ago.
You know what's more of a threat to democracy? Trying to imprison a political opponent.
Do you have a source for Biden paying off that kid?
Also, Trump should serve time for the financial crimes he committed outside of being president. Him being in prison wouldn't be that much of an issue for a lot of his fans
Do you have a source for Trump paying off the j6 protesters?
The issue over his crimes are whether they're actually federal crimes or not.
I never said anything about him paying off people who took part in the failed coup
I didn't say anything about a payment either.
