  1. All political violence is to be opposed, from any direction it comes from and regardless of who it is aimed at. Law and order MUST be enforced

  2. anyone else really concerned here? I don’t think this changes any minds and no one is switching their Biden/democrat vote to Trump but I could see tired Trump voters and other republican voters who would have stayed home, now rallying behind Trump.

    Democrat party now more than ever, need to unite and stop trying to tear each other apart. Its clear now that Biden isn’t leaving the race. So can we please get serious and focus on beating Trump instead of trying to get rid of Biden?

  3. Oof, I forgot about that comment. The irony police just showed up.

  4. Sorry, violent rhetoric is only wrong if republicans get hurt. Those are the rules now

  8. I live near a lot of MAGA folks and many of them have made it clear to me that they WANT violence.

  10. Don’t forget that Trump and his supporters were laughing at the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi (Nancy’s Pelosi’s husband): https://youtu.be/Poy9EWSmEfQ?si=cufRJT13wgWvmYQF&t=233

    I have yet to see a genuine Trump supporter on Reddit, criticize Trump for mocking the attack on Paul Pelosi. And yet, these same Trump supporters are blaming “the left” for [the shooter on Trump that was actually a registered Republican voter](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-rally-shooting-suspect-fbi-names-pennsylvania-man/story?id=111921870). SMH.

  13. WTF is wrong with these dumbass political left and right parties!? These people do not represent what America is. Violence and killing others is not the answer for us all Americans to be united regardless of what parties they’re in. For fuck’s sake, stop watching the corporate owned propaganda news stations like Fox News, CNN, Sky news, MSNBC, and so on. They’re all owned by the 1 percenters trying to divide us Americans people who are trying to make a living.

  15. I hope this bites that asshole in the ass. The media needs to be all over him about “Some folks need killing” – making that asshole uncomfortable and having to repudiate what he said will be a win in my book.

  16. Honestly we need to start questioning this man “don’t think this suspect saw your statements in viral clips and it’s what caused him to do what he did”

  17. Trump is a liar, fraud, racist, rapist and according to the new Epstein files released. He’s also a child molester?!… This, however, would fit the profile considering he called his own daughter a piece of ass on the Howard Stern Show long before he was president.

    And if you were looking for someone to blame for the abomination, that is Trump and his entire family. Look no further than Mark Burnett, the founding father of reality tv as we know it today. Creator of both Survivor and The Apprentice. He’s the only reason why Trump is even remotely viewed as successful in today’s world.

    That being said, if he is reelected, America gets what it deserves!

  18. The right wing loves to use this quote in their extremist militia rhetoric

    “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is its natural manure.” Thomas Jefferson (Paris,1787)

    You’ll see and hear it a lot at tea party and MAGA events and literature.

  19. I hope Republicans don’t start comparing Trump to Lincoln again after this shooting. To paraphrase something that Gerald Ford said about himself, “Trump is a fraud, not a Lincoln”. (Ford said, “I’m a Ford, not a Lincoln”)

  21. This really shows just how fucking unfair our political environment and media is. Trump supporter literally mails bombs to 15 different politicians, trump supporters literally shoots at the FBI, trump supporter tries to kill nancy pelosi’s husband, not a single republican is asked to condemn violence. Trump is shot by a nutjob supporter- every single democrat is asked to condemn violence

  22. Violence and chaos is the only things MAGA offers their cult members. The deplorables feed on the disinformation and conspiracy theory until they’re all in a frenzy and then inevitably, shots ring out…

  23. Oh fucking trust me. After yesterday I am ready to hide everything about me just to survive. Politics? I will never talk about them again. My sexuality? Absolutely not. Everything about me that has any sense of progressivism is being tucked away until this blows over or I leave the fucking country.

  26. According to them, It’s ok to threaten Democrats. These people need to shut up with all this shit already, there has to be a way to stop this crap. Violence needs to be stopped and it seems to be, coming from inside the house.
