    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.
