Old, but seems relevant
Stochastic terrorism should be addressed when it occurs. The duopoly gave him a pass on it and he keeps using it.
"Don’t Advocate for political violence here on Lemmy! It’s OK to post about Donald Trump advocating for it though. "
Maybe the first time we wished a Republican would have leaned just a little more to the right.
Maybe it’s a good thing he did, who knows. Might have ended up worse in the timelines where he didn’t.
How the world is a better place with Fuckface 45 in it…that concept makes no sense to me.
It is! Whipped it up for the Political Memes community… and then got banned from Political Memes for ‘advocating violence’. Um… whoops.
Maybe it’s temporary? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Charity… my choice would be any of those most at risk by a turn in the political environment. Planned Parenthood, any LGBTQ+ resource… if you get a kick out of that meme enough to merit a $20 donation, I have a sneaking suspicion that the venn diagram of your values and mine is pretty close to a clean circle, so if there’s something specific you had in mind, you definitely don’t need my permission (not that you ever needed my permission on how to spend your own money, but you get the gist!).
Edit - To be clear, posting that image in this thread is the 2nd time I posted it. The first posting was in Political Memes here. I realized in hindsight that that might make the post in this thread -not- OC. I created the image, but the one here isn’t THE original.
Doesn’t seem like it’s advocating violence at all. It’s making fun of someone that did advocate violence when it came after them.
This thread really shows the biggest crime Trump has committed so far: dividing the country.
For all the rethoric in this (and thousands of other threads) were people from both sides say the other side should die, everyone seems to forget that they’re talking about their families, their friends, their neighbours. Anyone in doubt about how a civil war actually looks like should maybe ask Yugoslavia how well that worked out for them. Yeah i know, it no longer exists.
How many innocent civilians were murdered?
One should also think about what will happen to the US when other countries (hello China, hello Russia) will take advantage of the US being in a civil war. Land grabbing, US land grabbing and hell, WWIII aren’t off the table.
To be clear, I’m veryuch against Trump, against the religious extremists and their takeover of the US government, but people on both sides need to calm down and look at their leaders. Right wing leadership is fucking evil and as far as I am concerned can all burn in a fire, but were talking about a fairly small group that pushes all this.
Stop fantasizing about murdering everyone following right wing media, most of them have been brainwashed, are dumb, or just plain angry and once all this is over, they’ll still be your family, they’ll still be your neighbor, they’ll still be your friends, they’ll still be there, and you can’t murder them all, that is not how anything works.
Start working on bridging the gap, start working today on reaching out and pulling those angry fixkers back into the fold. Show them we’re not the enemy.
Their leadership, again, is a different story.
