If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.

Edit: a bystander was killed and so was the 20 year old gunman. This is the human life I’m referring to.

is Democracy really just a choice between an evil and a good? the USA needs way more politcal parties than just two.

What? The current events are an attempt on someone’s life with the goal of saving what semblance of democracy we have left.

Did y’all seriously miss the memo? It’s pretty obvious what he meant if you haven’t been under a rock for the last 24hrs.

It’s pretty wishful thinking to think Proj 2025 and all the other MAGAs are going to fade away after the orange man is gone. Did you not see De Santis’ support before Trump entered the race?

No, the person most likely to end democracy will advocate rolling back freedoms to ‘preserve’ it, or to punish the wicked people that are considered their political enemies. The most likely person won’t be a Democrat, but will almost certainly be a leftist that starts their own populist political party

Fascism has always been a right wing ideology. While leftists have made some terrible mistakes, you shouldn’t pretend they are the only or main threat to democracy.

Leftists don’t believe America can be saved, they wouldn’t “roll back freedoms,” whatever the heck that means, they would dismantle the state and build up a new one.

Edit: a bystander Trump supporter was killed

FTFY. They were attending a Trump rally. They weren’t just a bystander. They were complicit.

You are truly the epitome of an evil person. God help us if someone like you ever gains any real political power

Trump has frequently called for the violent death of his enemies. Everyone at that rally supported this position.

I don’t feel bad at all for the thing they want to happen to others happening to them.

Turns out you don’t have to be running out of humans to value human life.

If I have a bowl of rice, and one of the grains is actively trying to end my way of life, I don’t mind when someone shoots at it with an assault rifle.

Sorry but most politicians don’t care about democracy either, just enriching themselves and close friends
