minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·4 months ago It’s only ok to incite violence when we do it. Wasn’t the guy who shot Trump a registered Republican? Is it possible that he was incited to violence by… other Republicans?
minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·4 months agoYep. And confirmed conservative, if recent headlines are to be trusted. We pretending like every thread on Lemmy wasn’t filled with “wish he had better aim” sentiment?
minus-squareWeslee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 months agoIn most the posts I saw, the comments wishing he had been killed were downvoted. So yeah, some people made those comments, but most people didn’t agree with them

minus-squarepewter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-24 months agoThat hasn’t been my experience in any thread that I’ve seen. I decided to look for examples of threads and most had neutral comments and some comments agreeing with my memory events. This archived thread was the most blatant one I found.
minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·4 months agoI don’t have time to go look right now but when I went through the threads that was very much not the case.
minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·4 months agoWhen both teams suck, all you can do is root for injuries. But no, “I wish you’d just die already” is not a call to violence.
minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-24 months agoI remember you from the other thread. You’re a fan of feigning ignorance if it helps your point. Read this thread. The people encouraging violence are upvoted far more and those discouraging it are downvoted. It’s not just that thread either. To continue a theme from our previous thread - you mind if we quit playing stupid?
