Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.

He's consistently in favor of his political opponents being threatened with violence, it's one of the few things he's been consistent about in his life

Did you just mock somebody/somegroup by appending part of the Fibonacci sequence 😅
I get the "!!1!eleven!!" thing (presumably the 23 bit is just mocking some ridiculousness or vapidity...?) but I find it very amusing to read your comment that way. Call it comic relief if you like 🤷
Yeah, it was not intentional, just a representation of the keyboard smashing that might go with that kind of comment, but I'll take the accidental Fibonacci lol 😂
Any sympathy I had for this assclown dried up ages ago.
“Look, you should just turn down the violent rhetoric!”
-people who’ve been espousing violent rhetoric since 2008
One side cares about civility and condemns advocating violence, so the other side exploits that every chance they get.

Maybe the first time we wished a Republican would have leaned just a little more to the right.
I remember after this all the Celebrities and Politicians talking AGAINST Donald Trump's VIOLENT RHETORIC!
JK I don't!
You should put the date in the title.
Fair point. Done.
There was also that time he said McConnell had a "DEATH WISH" because he voted for some stuff trump didn't like.
We go high, they go low.
Today on Facebook, a big trumpist just admitted to me that he just wants to see his political opponents suffer (even die), and sent me a gore image.
I'm in a gun club and the WhatsApp chat had, surprise surprise, a rich, fashy vet immediately saying that the attempt meant that all supporters of the Democrats were now "enemy combatants" and should be treated like enemy combatants were back when "they" were deployed. Fucking psychotic, brownshirt ass. I know this makes me sound like him, but people like him have one solution and it's measured in six foot increments of rope.

Right. We all agree that encouraging violence is bad.
Right lemmy?
RIGHT LEMMY?
Self defense is still a form of violence. I'll allow it.
It's only free speech when we speak. When someone says something I don't like, that's not free speech.
It's only ok to incite violence when we do it.
This hypocrisy isn't a good look. Lemmy loves to point at Trump's hypocrisy (see OP) but are blind to their own. It makes your position appear weaker because you don't actually stand for anything (e.g. free speech as it exists in the US).
I've said it before but many here are more like conservatives than they realize. They also don't really stand for anything. For example, they pretend to love small government and then bend right over with pre-lubed assholes when DeSantis legislates lab meat out of existence in their state instead of letting tHe FRee MArKeT decide.
It’s only ok to incite violence when we do it.
Wasn't the guy who shot Trump a registered Republican?
Is it possible that he was incited to violence by... other Republicans?

I hate pacifists, man. They always try to publicly shame you by making it seem like violence is never justified... stupid deontological thinking

Tell them you want exactly the same for Trump and watch them get triggered like the little snowflake they are.
And surely we can find old tweets condemning it from all the Trumpanzees screeching about "political hatred" today, right? Right?
Stochastic terrorism should be addressed when it occurs. The duopoly gave him a pass on it and he keeps using it.
Wow you know what trump has aged a lot in 8 years. I guess that’s a long time n shit huh
Probably a tougher 8 years if you were already geriatric at the start of those 8 years.

"Don't Advocate for political violence here on Lemmy! It's OK to post about Donald Trump advocating for it though. "
