I actually think this is a dry run for Trump to see if he can "innocently" incite violence. If things don't go his way in November, the call will be much more direct.
I think you're giving Trump too much credit. This comment sums it up succinctly, but I sincerely believe Trump is not capable of thinking about the future. He only brought up the cats and dogs because he thought it was his best anti-immigrant fear-mongering line available at the time.
If Trump loses in November then he'll be in jail by the end of the month. That's why his sentencing was delayed; so that Merchan won't have to worry about the political consequences of jailing a Presidential candidate.
Just brain-storming here, and what if we took away publicity from those that stoke violence? What if we passed laws against encouraging others to murder, to terrorize, commit violence? Would that be helpful?
It will not, because those laws already largely exist. It has been quite well established I'm the US that inciting violence is not considered protected speech. The laws just don't apply the same to wealthy people like Trump as they do to anyone else.
What if we treated them like the terrorists they are?
Lock em up.
Well Jeez if only there was some way we, as a nation, could all decide on someone whose job it is to stop these things, or at least oversee the people who stop these things and make sure they're doing their fucking job.
