It’s a point on the same path: if enough people start “joking” about political violence, more people are going to try it. I didn’t want to live in a world where that’s normalized.

- acdha 1y ago> Nobody brought a gun and tried to shoot him. The linked page details otherwise, so you’re wrong as a matter of fact in addition to arguing against a claim I never made. I wasn’t saying Obama was shot, I was saying that when a bunch of people started “joking” about shooting politicians we started down the path where some of them would seriously try it and a couple decades later we’re at the stage of multiple political assassinations in a year. Nobody is going to be happy living in a country where that’s normalized, including the people who say they do.
