    It is truly bizarre. Republicans reacted to losing the 2020 election with death threats to election officials, some of whom had to go into hiding. They attacked the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election and with talk of hanging public officials who stood in their way.
    Democrats responded to losing the 2024 election with “somebody said he heard somebody say there needs to be blood.”
    Clearly Democrats are the violent ones.

    I guess there’s always been plenty of this, but social media certainly makes it easier for people to just say anything, whether it makes any sense or not.

    How about the antifa-like wingnuts in Texas that attacked an ICE installation with fireworks then attempted to assassinate a deputy sheriff when he arrived on seen? Is that not leftist violence?

    If a Democrat is elected to the presidency in 2028 do you think he (or she) will pardon any of them ?

    Again, where is the link to Democrats? We understand there are groups that are violent however that isn't any part of being a Democrat or Republican.

    It’s not news where the op leans politically. But he’s not a rude, cranky butthole like many that lean the other way when they post something.

    Perhaps.

    But a major difference, of course, is that "rightest" violence has been encouraged and incited by the current sitting President. And it's now a right-wing party litmus test to lie about it.

    So there's a tremendously big difference, no matter how hard people on the right try to convince others that what we saw with our own eyes didn't actually happen.

    Maybe he's not a rude, cranky butthole but he did start a thread with the absurd narrative of comparing violence prone nutcakes with mainstream Democrats and once again do you think any of them will be pardoned by a Democratic governor or Democratic president? So far it's only a certain Republican president who has pardoned violence prone partisan nutcakes including those who have assaulted law enforcement officers and that's because they supported him and bought into his narrative that a free and fair election that he lost was stolen from him.

    Trump stretched things out as long as he could legally so he wouldn't end up in court before the elections. See Aileen Cannon. Even republican judges thought she was playing the delay delay game or she was incompetent. She was a trump appointee though.
    The opinion piece seems to be written by someone who doesn't like dems. Words like radical antifa stand out. Antifa is all of us, unless you aren't anti fascist, which is what the new republican party seems to be.

    ^ Pretty sure that was a Republican shooting at immigrants. Or maybe he thought Trump was nearby.

    He wasn’t comparing anything. You and others are.

    If true, doubtful the protester is with us any longer.
