It's much more than a statistical anomaly. It's a rather large group of people, some quite famous and powerful.
Lea DeLaria: "Or pick up a baseball bat and take out every f-cking republican and independent I see"
Madonna: "I’ve thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."
Mickey Rourke: "I’ll meet [Trump] in a hotel room any motherf-cking day of the week and give him a Louisville slugger."
Bow Wow: "@realDonaldTrump shut your punk a-- up talking s--t about my uncle @SnoopDogg before we pimp your wife and make her work for us."
Eminem: "And fuck Ann Coulter with a Klan poster. With a lamp post, door handle, shutter. A damn bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener, a candle, rubber. Piano, a flannel, sucker, some hand soap, butter. A banjo and manhole cover"
Then there's Kathy Griffin's famous photo with a severed "Trump" head, Snoop Dog's video shooting Trump ...
And that's just Hollywood. There's no room here to discuss all the incidents of actual violence, or protesters denying people the right to hear speakers at public universities, etc, etc.
- guywaffle 9y agoEminem isn’t a good example. He hates politicians and Hollywood “elites”, and Trump is both
- breakingcups 9y agoNo please. There's enough room to discuss incidents of actual violence. I'd like to see them, backed up by sources. It would be interesting to compare statistics. 7 celebrities talking shit does not equate a massive, unified, violent left-wing movement in the US with conspiracy-like powers and tactics to censor the right. I think the right is pretty well represented in the US.
- leereeves 9y ago7 celebrities "talking shit" (encouraging violence) and being applauded for it. And there are more than 7, but I thought 7 would sufficiently illustrate the point. Measure the support for the movement by the number of people who celebrated those remarks. A lot of people.

Is that conspiracy enough for you? How about this: On October 31, 2016, The New York Times reported: "CNN has severed ties with the Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, after hacked e-mails from WikiLeaks showed that she shared questions for CNN-sponsored candidate events in advance with friends on Hillary Clinton's campaign." And that's just off the top of my head. EDIT 2: Can you explain how all these very similar headlines were possible without there being a conspiracy? And yes, those are real, I saw it when it happened. https://pics.onsizzle.com/headlines-think-the-media-got-the-memo-in-acceptance-speech-3136408.png https://pics.onsizzle.com/headlines-think-the-media-got-the-...
