There was “real political violence” because people wanted Trump to be president in 2020 and more recently a state lawmaker was swatted in Indiana because he didn’t go along with Trump’s redistributing demands.
In fact Romney said that some lawmakers were afraid to go against Trump because they were afraid for their families and they couldn’t afford armed security like he could. Is that really how we want to make decisions in this country?
- scoofy 1y agoAgain, I agree with this sentiment. Unfortunately whataboutism isn’t an argument.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoThere is no whatsboutism. Refusing to act is not “violence”.
- scoofy 1y agoI never suggested it was… which is exactly why pointing to unrelated political violence is whataboutism.
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoYou claimed that not acting or helping the federal government to enforce federal laws that in this case the Supreme Court has said is none of the states business would increase political violence. My contention is that anything the right doesn’t like will escalate to political violence if it is scene to go against Whsfs desr leader wants.
