Who?
Also
Cares?
An old tv show actor… basically it was about rednecks in cars. Pretty sure the only reason any one watched was daisy duke’s short shorts.
Also?
The secret service. They care. More than you might suspect.
It was mainly about the sweet car doing jumps and going dedeleeedeedeededelee.
Also why you'd occassionally see people with a confederate flag here in Europe. No idea what it meant, just looked cool on the car.
I agree with the "who?", but then I'm not big in to TV and film.
The "who cares?" though is particularly problematic - it shows a rise in the normalisation of open threats of violence. Today, it's a political figure who by the definition of the US's party system is going to be a polarising figure - but tomorrow it can be any person that isn't flavour of the week, justified or not.
It's a bad downward trend.
I was reading the “who cares” as “who cares what he has to say?” (being a furtherance of wondering why this person has a platform or is getting a headline) I read it that way rather than “who cares that someone is threatening to kill the President.” (Which I think how you took it)
You are absolutely correct, I didn't entertain the thought of the other view, thanks for providing a new angle on it!
No one should care what a racist piece of shit thinks. They should be ignored. Shunned. When we care what they think, they keep thinking it louder and louder until you can’t not hear it.
Racist pieces of shit can still throw firebombs. When they are making death threats, the response needs to be a bit more severe than 'ignore and shun' .
You don’t give a voice to hatred just because you’re afraid of what it might do….
That’s why we’re where we are now. These piece of shit need to be blacklisted and shut out.
Period.
We're at the point of death threats and calling for violence. That's literal terrorism. Letting them carry out said violence will give them far more of a voice than dealing with these people.
Dealing with death threats does not give these people any sympathy votes.
I bet the Secret Service cares about presidential death threats.
I wondered who he was. I kept seeing actor from the eighties and had no idea.
Also, dukes of hazard was from the eighties? I don't guess I knew it was that recent.
Early 80s. I think they peaked in 81 or 82.
