This shit infuriates me so much. Half of what Trump says is threats against people he doesn't like. After antagonizing everyone and indisputably making America and the world a worse place to live, we aren't allowed to say that we wish this POS was dead? Idk, i get the sentiment that we need to dial back and use less violent language if we want to see less violence in the world. Problem is, nothing we say or do is going to get Republicans to use less violent language, and I kind of feel like if they don't change, then there's no benefit to everyone else dialing it back. In fact, let's skip straight to Godwin's law: was it morally wrong to wish death on Hitler during World War II? Was it morally wrong in 1933, when Hitler gained dictatorial power but had not necessarily committed moral atrocities yet?

We can try to not make things worse. That's something.

If half the people around me are pissing in the pool, does it matter that i didn't piss in the pool?

I mean, the pool can be either 50% piss or 100% piss. Neither are great choices, but I know which one I'm choosing since I can't afford to get out of the pool :shrug:

Lol fair point. I'd rather get out of the pool and piss on the people ruining it for everyone.

If you want to use violent rhetoric, you need to be conservative. Everybody knows that.

Do you Remember when Kyle Gass's agent ALSO dropped their Conservative Clients who joked about Nancy Pelosi's Assassination? No? They didn't? Only people who joke about Donald Trump, who called for people to Murder Hilary Clinton and Gays and Drag Queens and Black People, get dropped?

He should just count his lucky stars he didn't say genocide was bad.
