      Because if “you approve of assassination then the right starts to assume it’s okay that you’re next”

        the right starts to assume it’s okay that you’re next

        But they already do, so I second queermunist - why lick the boot already stomping on your neck?

          Is it really bootlicking to say “back I don’t think it was cool to assassinate Trump”?

          I mean it’s a lie but bootlicking?

              Pretending like being civil to a literal nazi is reasonable is bootlicking too.

              Ahh yes wrongthink to even have a discussion here that wasn’t one that would have the fbi knocking at my door

              Ps - there’s worlds of difference between saying political violence is wrong and “lol fuck John mccain even though he died” because he was barely decent human garbage like the rest of his ilk. I don’t think encouraging political violence is necessarily on the same level

        Do you think the right is waiting for permission from us? Did you forget about the plot to kidnap Gretchen Witmer? Or when Paul Pelosi was assaulted with a hammer by a right wing home invader? Or, you know, when they tried to do a coup?

        The right already believes it’s okay.

      This user has been posting shit like this a bunch. With headlines about how people are condemning the attempt. I wonder if there is an agenda behind it.

        Jeffw? He’s an active Lemmy poster and mod of many communities and always posts a ton of news content. Considering the recent events, it’s not that surprising that a lot of news would be about groups paying lip service to wanting a fair political climate.

          He has been posting headlines condemning the attempt specifically. just because he is a mod and active doesn’t mean he can’t be trying to garner sympathy for a fascist in power.

        Step 1. Fascist attempt to overthrow government campaigning on eradicating LGBT

        Step 2. “Hey that’s not good”

        Step 3. “Hey stop pushing an agenda”

        Bruh of course there’s an agenda. It’s called “wanting to not be eradicated”

        I’m sorry that wanting what’s best for the world offends you. Maybe you should consider moving to Israel, I hear they don’t push agendas there.

        Edit: unless you’re talking about op, in which case sorry.

          Yes I’m talking about op being a typical liberal saying that people should condemn violence towards Nazis in power

      He won’t apologize for killing queer folks

      indeed. trump is completely removed from the suffering of others. everything has been performative so far. but the dems best be packing political heat in 72 hours or america is collectively cooked - but I have no faith that they will get their act together.

      For fucken once I agree. At best the response shouldve been silence, just keep thine mouth shut. If ya only have good to say then its better to say nothing at all.
