People under the age of 30, who have never experienced a day of their lives in a broken or failed state which includes political violence as an everyday occurrence, think political violence is a good idea. Because... they like LARPing as downwardly mobile lefties? Seriously, ask a few asylum seekers from Honduras or El Salvador what they think about political violence. I guarantee you not a one will tell you about how romantic it all is. Because political violence is obviously something to be scared of, not something to "revere". Like -- we can see it happen elsewhere. We can watch it on the tube every night. It's not "edgy", Daria. Put down the hair dye and the kitchen sheers. You're too old to play act revolutionary.

  You can't go like that: "he doesn't have support", "here's evidence of support", "that doesn't count". Claiming someone has support is the ad populum falacy, you can argue that. But don't dismiss data because it doesn't support you.

  Sure, if you diminish and demean absolutely everyone who disagrees with you, then you're left in a bubble where your truth is the only obvious correct one. I know old white guys who are the same way. The craziest thing is how "open-minded" they imagine themselves to be!

  the irony of this entire post ranting about the views of "children" (classified as people under...30?) when presented with evidence contrary to your beliefs.

  > Seriously, ask a few asylum seekers from Honduras or El Salvador what they think about political violence. Why not ask some US citizens ? Or does assasination attempts at a running candidate does not count as political violence ? Or assasination of a president FWIW ?
