Last I checked only one side wrote a super racist song about killing the other side of they “come to our small town and try that”.
I don’t see left wing terror attacks in this country do you? Because I see a lot of right wing ones, at pride, at power stations, at events with people reading books to children…
You have an incredibly stupid take and the “it will only divide us further” narrative is just pleading with one side to accept the terrorism of the other as not to make it worse. It’s like saying that the abused in an abusive relationship is also at fault, “They are both good people, she just makes him so mad sometimes that he hits her, she should stop making him mad” .
Also love that this is your only comment on lemmy….
I mean if you're looking for anecdotes, I recall a certain militant liberal celebrity who posted a photo of herself with Trump's decapitated head...
I had to look that up because I wasn't sure what you're talking about. I agree, that was a shitty thing Kathy Griffin did in 2017. She shouldn't have done that.
Still doesn't change the fact that the republican president literally attempted to overturn a free and fair election via a violent insurrection. Still doesn't change that republican politicians and pundits use violent rhetoric while attempting to take away human rights from everyone who isn't a wealthy white male.
And tens of thousands of people looted and burned down businesses and vehicles and several people died across the country when some cops killed a guy outside a convenience store.
Those people weren't trying to overturn a "free and fair" election. They were trying to overturn an election they believed to be fraudulent. Now I don't think it was fraudulent, but also you and everyone else are intentionally misrepresenting the situation. And I would hope you would do the same if you believed that to be true.
