So how then how does your team claiming democracy will end if they win not ramp up rhetoric for violence?
I have no idea what this even means...
If Trump is orange Hitler then it would be good stop him by any means necessary. If your claim is "If Trump takes power that will end democracy" how is that not rhetoric for violence?
Because the Democrats aren't out there saying "HEY, WE NEED A FUCKING CIVIL WAR AND TO START KILLING PEOPLE WHO ARENT ON BOARD WITH OUR NAZI V2 BULLSHIT!", those are Trump's cronies saying this shit.
The Democrats are out there saying to show up and vote.
Big fucking difference, and the pedantry of your question says you're trying to troll, or completely ignorant at best if you can't tell the difference on your own. WTF.
So the rhetoric does not increase violence just as long as you agree with it?
Do you know what the word "rhetoric" means? You really are not using it correctly. Which means you don't understand what you're even talking about.
Sure and if you believe that trump is going to "END DEMOCRACY!!!" and "THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ELECTION!!!!!!!!", then you believe the propaganda.
He has literally threatened to install himself as a dictator, stop elections he doesn't think are "fair" (whatever isn't going his way), remove the two-term limit, bomb cities he doesn't like, take political prisoners, execute political prisoners, have public executions for people he feels deserve.
He has said these things out loud with his own mouth, and in stupid social media posts.
Responding to that very real threat directly from him isn't "rhetoric". If you want to act like none of this has happened, you go right on ahead, but the simple fact still is: ONLY ONE PARTY HAS BEEN HYPING VIOLENCE, AND IT'S NOT THE DEMOCRATS.
Have a pleasant evening crying into your MAGA merch you were grifted into buying. Wipe those tears with your $40 MAGA handkerchief, and rest your head on your $100 MAGA pillow. Sucker.
Exactly my point, you go into a fit when you think about trump, this is EXACTLY what the propaganda is intended to do. You flip the fuck and then rage quite.
Lets take a look at the first one about dictator. He said it as a joke, and then he explained the to things he was going to do which was drill for more oil, and control the border. Two things all presidents do. You have been lied to and tricked, they have won you over with lies and misleading.
Oh, okay. Then everything I said was a joke too. I'm going to have you entire family arrested and executed. Just kidding.
See how that works?
You're the only sucker here. If Trump has all these grand plans, then why do you think he accomplished none of them the first time he was in office? You're sad and pathetic. I feel bad for you.
Here is how it works, the media will tell you something that is misleading or directly false. Literally all the things you think about trump are there to make you react EXACTLY how you are reacting. All you need to do is just watch the video and EVERY TIME its a direct lie or mislead. Literally every time. But you wont look into it because you kind of like the hate porn.
No, it works by Trump opening his mouth, saying a bunch of stupid and anti-democratic shit, and me fucking hating him and his followers.
That's how that works.
You're REALLY making me pity you now.
What I would recommend is that you actually look into any of the things you believe becuase you will find you have been lied to.
Friend, I think with the facts and transparency out in the world, you'd be better at critical thinking. If someone is making fresh threats to back up their previous attempts and failures at something, it's a real threat.
You're backing a wannabe dictator, dipshit. Get with the real world, and stop living in the one crafted by poorman's liar and failure at everything, Donald Trump. The fact the guy couldn't keep SIX CASINOS from going under should tell you something.
Here. You'll probably say they're lying even though everything is backed up with REAL DATA instead of Trump's lies and bullshit, but: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/opinion/trump-lies-charts-data.html
