Don’t think for a second the democrats weren’t calling for violence.

    Wouldn’t need to fight for justice if felons were put in prison once convicted.

    Anyone flying the banner of this coup attempting monster is a traitor to god and country.

    I’ve seen the response from the left-leaning media and from democrat politicians after the attempted assassination of Trump. While there have been some chronically online people wishing that Trump had been killed, the vast consensus is that political violence is not acceptable.

    I have also seen the response from the right-leaning media and Republican politicians after January 6th and the violence against Nancy Pelosi’s husband, and how both politicians and pundits attempted to downplay and excuse the violent actions of their supporters.

    I think it’s pretty clear that the right is far more willing to both use and excuse political violence.
