Donald Trump on Sunday proposed a new policy that many critics said is equivalent to legalizing “The Purge.”
Trump spoke at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he admitted that his attendees were “falling asleep” at one of his earlier rallies. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign noted that, as Trump was still speaking at the swing-state event over the weekend, rallygoers placed directly behind the former president started to funnel out of the building.
One comment Trump made drew condemnation on social media, as well as numerous comparisons to The Purge, a film series based on a dystopian world in which the government makes all crimes legal for a 12-hour period.
As reported by Sebastian Smith, AFP Washington desk chief, “Trump in Erie, PA, says in US ‘the police aren’t allowed to do their job.’ To stop crime, you need ‘one really violent day.’ He says: ‘One rough hour and I mean real rough, the word would get out and it would end immediately.’”

Telling people that if they don’t vote with you they shouldn’t vote at all is pretty telling of who you are and what you want. You said it above and you barely have changed your stance to hide your disdain.
And now you saying people can only other vote for Trump since he’s the other representative of a deeply problematic 2 party system?
If people want to voice their displeasure but not necessarily achieve something, I’m not yelling at people that they are worth less than nothing when they do it. And I definitely don’t want to push the idea that Republicans have to only vote Trump because it’s his party.
People can vote for whomever they like.
I have no idea why you think I have the power to stop them, but I do not have that ability.
I also do not have the ability to yell at anyone over Lemmy.
You are being ridiculous.
Voting for any other “not Trump” actually helps Trump. You might as well just not vote.
Just because you put on a veneer of post indifference doesn’t make reality any different.
You can vote for whoever you want. That doesn’t mean you don’t get to face the very clear negative consequences for how you vote.
If you want to make the choice to not vote for the only candidate that can beat Trump, that’s your call. But dont for a second think you’re immune from criticism for not wanting to help beat him.
Okay? That doesn’t change the fact that I can’t force anyone to vote for anyone or not vote or do anything and I don’t have the ability to yell at someone on Lemmy.
Also, for someone who complains about people being silenced, you sure want me to shut up.
