You are attributing thought and reason to a knee-jerk ◊◊◊◊ - stirrer.
Biden was bumbling, dementia-filled, yet should be put to death (or imprisoned) for a crime for which Kirk could not possibly prove. It seems he was operating from emotion and hatred rather than reason. It was also good for listens, clicks, and views.
Since treason is spelled out in the Constitution, then wouldn't you expect Kirk to present some kind of idea how how Biden committed it? His bare assertion is akin to just saying execute him.
Are you claiming that Democrats haven't been calling Republicans and conservatives Nazis and fascists? Because otherwise, this looks like a tu quoque.
Absolutely not. I demonstrated with quotes that the right wing was equally responsible for such rhetoric. To pretend othewise is gaslighting.
Agreed, but you aren't considering the possibility that hatred can be rooted in specific false beliefs. Once people got the idea of "crimes against America" from the MAGA meme machine (which has been pushing the idea that their opponents aren't just wrongheaded but actually treasonous for several years running) the hate follows naturally therefrom.
If I thought he was more than a mouthpiece for popular MAGA memes, I would indeed expect that.
You keep skipping over the trial and imprisonment phases of the process, presumably in an attempt to make Kirk look even more hateful than he already does.
That makes his call for imprisonment/execution for imagined crimes even worse.
The problem was his influence with a generation that hasn't yet shown an ability to critically think. Maybe that's too big a brush, but maybe not.
First, I made no claim about what the right was or was not doing, so you are misrepresenting me, which is basically gaslighting on your part. Second, all your quotes are from one guy. If you want to actually demonstrate that the right is equally responsible for such rhetoric, then you would need to do more than quote just one guy. But again, my claim had nothing to do with what the right is or isn't doing, so even if you were to actually do all that, it wouldn't be relevant as a response to my post.
Kirk skipped over the process, not me. His words say that Biden should be imprisoned for life or put to death because of his crimes. He does not say that he should be tried for his crimes.
This is a very odd reply given that Resume was only quoting from one Republican, and making a "blanket statement" on that basis. You sure you don't want to rethink this post?
No, your claims are that Kirk's murder was a direct result of dems calling certain repubs fascist while ignoring the rhetoric from the right.
Did you not read the post I was responding to? Your outrage is entirely selective and hypocritical.
This is rich. The guy I quoted is currently the most influential repub with Trump's ear. ◊◊◊◊, Vance called his boss America's Nazi. This stuff is all across the political spectrum and to ignore that fact is bull ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊.
I have to ask. Do you honestly believe this? Do you honestly believe in your heart of hearts that the majority of violent rhetoric is coming from the left side of the political spectrum?
There is a certain irony in using the phrase "I just made that up" here, given that you just made this up.
