That's just dumb. As if you don't vote and/or support your candidates or ideological leaders. Why am I responsible for others' acts, and you aren't?
I support the law and believe it should be upheld, you don't. I believe this guy that killed these state leaders, if found guilty, should receive the death penalty, as with the person that killed those Christian Jews, or Luigi, that murdered the heath CEO....and I believe any protester that throws rocks or bricks at cops should be tried for serious crimes from assault to attempted murder. And I believe immigration laws should be enforced, even as the law that pasted and said should be the path to citizenship.
Exactly what violence do you think I am guilty of? Again, I support full prosecution of the sick person that shot the innocent state representatives, and not just saying , "yes, he got out of hand".....do you believe these fellow protesters of yours that are breaking laws by assaulting law enforcement, burning cars, destroying public property, blocking freeways, spraying graffiti, etc...should be prosecuted?
No, Markk. I know it's really difficult for you to understand this, but when you vote for a man that
you know encourages, condones, and pardons the violence of his followers, then you are responsible for the results. If you don't want violent movements, you don't support them with your vote. That is exactly what you did. You condone MAGA violence.
Compare this with Governor Newsom, who criticized the violence of those LA protesters who had gotten out of hand and called for their arrest and prosecution. Newsom supports peaceful protests and promises to pursue and punish protesters who break the law. Trump encouraged his rally attendees to rough up anyone who disrupted his rally, promising to cover their legal fees if they did so. I don't know how you can make that contrast any clearer. Trump used his pardon power to shield violent extremists who beat cops during J6 from the consequences of their violent criminal activities.
You voted for Trump. You
knew these facts about Trump. You continue to claim falsely that you can selectively support Trump despite his personal role in stirring up violence in this country without bearing any blame for your choices. Sorry, but everyone here knows what you have done, and we
will consider you responsible for your vote, responsible for contributing to the political violence in this country.
