    Rhetoric of violence, especially to fellow Americans, is not becoming of our highest seat in government.

        Before ‘both sides’ starts kicking in, this violent rhetoric is a pure republican tactic

          This. Occasionally a democrat will slip and say something questionably violent, but they get called out pretty much immediately.

          Republicans act like violent rhetoric is the price of admission, and their cultists cheer it on.

            And a large majority of the time democrat does slip is because they’re fed up and exasperated by the insane republican bullshit, a la Biden’s “Will you judt shut up, man.” In his debate with trump.

              Exactly.

              Republicans need to repeat back some words and look like cleancut white people to win reliably.

              Democrats need to be geniuses, correct at all times, never angry, and also gorgeous if they want a chance in hell of being able to sit at the table. But even then, that’s only the list until they start pushing back against republicans, at which point all bets are off.

        There’s probably some truth to that. Without research, looking inward, I feel like talk about whichever conflict the west is involved in is probably seen as violent to some and likely part of politics.

        I’d also think that Europe stands shoulder to shoulder with the Americans in those conflicts and be surprised if it was different there.

      Poor choice of words, but I believe he means to fire the entire Federal Workforce which would immediately corrupt the entire nation. Federal Employees are unsung heroes who make the nation function. They are what prevents power hungry politicians from being able to destroy the nation. People complain about red tape, but it works are a series of firewalls where checks are completed to prevent fraud and illegal activities from occurring.

        Every word uttered by a conservative is either deception or manipulation.

        There was no mistake in his wording. He is a deceptive, manipulative sub-human piece of shit just like all other conservatives.
