@t3rmit3 I was talking about the current elections. I do not think that that guy’s act was a specific act of revenge for the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol, especially if that guy was a Republican registered voter. Otherwise, he could have acted sooner instead of waiting for a presidential term to finish. The guy’s attempt was specifically due to Trump’s current nomination as a candidate. That’s why I asked you how did it already happen during this election process, not in the past.
Yes, absolutely.
I think you might not be that different from a Republican on this one :) even though for a different reason.
I think you’ve got the question backwards. States are the worst instigators of violence against marginalized, smaller, and weaker groups
States are also the ones using public money to fund healthcare centers, centers for people in need (eldery, women escaping abusive relationships, unwanted children), they are also making the public space more accessible for people with disabilities, they are providing public transport options for people unable to ensure themselves this option, sometimes even providing means of communications (through mail for example). Of course, you could point out that there is more work to be done in some cases and in many countries, but it’s still an effort in the right direction and, imo, these sometimes provide better options than letting individuals work by themselves in order to solve these problems.
If you’d ask me, I would feel safer in this regard when accessing these services provided by the state instead of relying on a fringe (sometimes) armed group, looking to gain power for themselves. But that’s just me, I guess…
@Kit It’s just a different experience to see the picture on a bigger screen.
