Pretty worried about the comments man. Murdering (or trying to) a candidate of any political party is terrible.
Not only is it terrible, it's an actual threat to democracy.
I don't know how anyone is surprised though. When you use words like "Nazi" and "existential threat" and "threat to our democracy" it can't be a shock when someone tries to become a historic hero for taking out the supposed next Hitler, and people who buy into that propaganda language are going to cheer them on and want more of it. They're frothing at the mouth, imagining they're on the right side of history.
I get what the Dems are trying to do with pushing that language, but it really is playing with fire. It was a 50/50 chance that they could get him ineligible to run, alive or dead, and they've lost each bet.
OceanSoap being loaded into the train car: "Ok guys, any minute now will be the prime opportunity to stop these fascist guys. Just remember to consider both sides, they might have a really good reason for taking us out to this isolated camp."
See they're having us fill the whole back up again. This isn't a mass grave. They're just putting us to work! See creating jobs why complain?
Picking good arguments from both candidates isn't allowing one to walk all over you,.
