ISF is not advocating anything. A single poster compared Trump to Mussolini (a comparison whose accuracy would be hard to deny, though I'm sure Warp12 could manage it) and a single poster expressed a hope that he would meet the same end.

As expected. A lack of condemnation indicates acceptance. Not surprising as this is not nearly the first time ISF members have posted their hopes for the death of Trump.

I repeat, ISF does not advocate anything. It's a discussion forum. The opinions expressed are those of the individual members. As long as they keep within the rules, members (including you) can post whatever opinions they like. You, for example, can post your opinion that ISF is advocating something, even though that is simply not possible.

And no, a lack of condemnation does not indicate acceptance. There have been plenty of opinions posted here (including by you) which I have not condemned, even though I don't accept them.

This sure doesn't read like a condemnation of those calling for the death of Trump.

Also, I already edited my post to say "ISF contingent", which I felt was clearly implied. And based on the responses, entirely warranted.

As usual, the ISF contingent is keeping it classy when it comes to Trump. Now advocating for his public execution. :thumbsup:

Not everyone is good enough to be treated with basic human dignity. Trump and his supporters fit into that category.

As a practical matter, I would prefer its heart disease take care of things prior to 2024. It's important for the nation that he not run again. Right now it appears as though the only thing that would stop him would be failing health.

Why would it? The post is about something else entirely. It doesn't read like a recipe for lasagne either, for the same reason.

I disagree on both counts. But I don't condemn you for expressing that opinion.

I don't have a problem with condemning the opinions of those who call for the death of a former or current President.

I don't have a problem with it either. I'm just disagreeing with your opinion that not explicitly condemning an opinion is the same as accepting it.

In some cases, inaction IS action. To me, this is one of those cases.

Good for you. Just as we don't have a problem with condemning the opinions of those who call women 'split tails' and a woman a mentally ill "self-mutilating freak who indirectly endorses child abuse," because she's transsexual.

And you are entitled to that opinion.

For the record: I'm very relieved that American democracy, despite the despicable attacks on it by Trump and his followers, proved robust enough for him to be removed from power without violence. I certainly see no need to hope for it now, and regret that others resort to such rhetoric.
