It's strange to watch a moment that would be so easy to win, to politically crush and label what the other side is offering and correctly mark their visions as abhorrent, dishonest, vile, evil. All those are good and correct words. It literally is a path to violence as there have been at least two high profile examples that will not be left as footnotes in the history books on American political history in this time period of 2021-2024. Where we don't have to continue being warped and pulled into the vortex of violence that surrounds Trump. Yet the Democrats at the ancient behest of their insulated circles have no idea what to do because they can't diverge from the script.
This idea of tone it down because the Stephen King clown almost was assassinated when him, some of his supporters, and the henchmen in the GOP have called for and have caused targeted political violence for years is insane. Somehow the real problem is the Democrats and the left pointing out the violence and talk of it. It’s simply not nice to explain or confront that the right wing media and the GOP politicians have endlessly been posting on their social media accounts for years promoting outright violence. Calling for the destruction and execution of Democrats, liberals, leftists and any causes, beliefs or ideas tied to them. But sure we are the real problem and the divisive ones.
I will call it like I see it and refuse to cower in silence when violence is being enacted by abortion bans, attacks and criminalization of queer and trans people especially kids. Fuck you that we have to tone it down. I'm not submitting to a landscape of Project 2025 being taken on a national tour because it's already being carried through on state levels.
This young man who carried out the attempted assassination of Trump was a conservative and it makes me think of how responsible the GOP is for him. In that I mean through all the distortions, disregard, and accelerationist and doom rhetoric and visions why wouldn’t this young man find this an outlet to some final conclusion of life and existence.
