Real Truth:
“At the heart of today’s eruption of political violence is Mr. Trump, a figure who seems to inspire people to make threats or take actions both for him and against him. He has long favored the language of violence in his political discourse, encouraging supporters to beat up hecklers, threatening to shoot looters and undocumented migrants, mocking a near-fatal attack on the husband of the Democratic House speaker and suggesting that a general he deemed disloyal be executed.
While Mr. Trump insists his fiery speech to supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, was not responsible for the subsequent ransacking of the Capitol, he resisted pleas from advisers and his own daughter that day to do more to stop the assault. He even suggested that the mob might be right to want to hang his vice president and has since embraced the attackers as patriots whom he may pardon if elected again.
Mr. Trump does not pause to reflect on the impact of his own words. Just last week, his false pet-eating accusations against Haitian migrants during his debate with Ms. Harris were quickly followed by bomb threats that turned life upside-down in Springfield, Ohio, and he did nothing to discourage them. After 33 bomb threats, Ohio’s governor said Monday that law enforcement would conduct daily sweeps of schools in the town.“

Careful, or we'll start calling the nut with the gun the victim and the target the perpetrator

The perp can become the target. Orange has normalized political violence and directly targets foes.

So you are asserting this is some form of self-defense? I don't recall any of his foes being shot.

I am asserting that he directly targets people knowing it will incite his supporters. Ask the
jurrors in his cases, Judge Merchan, and Mike Pence. Ask the guys who found the pipe bombs near the Capitol.
The left truly are the party of projection

Anytime you want to discuss this rationally, let me know. My belief is that Orange is the person
most responsible for the current political climate of violence on all sides.

Horseshit. You libs have barked that he is a threat to democracy.
Two Trump haters have been the assassins.
Own your own.
Trump, by his own actions, is a threat to democracy.
Our Government has indicted him for his conduct surrounding January 6th.
Calling Trump out as a threat to democracy, is not a solicitation for violence.
Dangerous rationalization - sinful too.

Your assertions are absurd.
We have checks and balances in this country.
Stop being a drama queen.
Link the clips of Harris or Biden advocating violence against Trump.
They don’t exist.
Can link plenty calling Trump a threat to democracy
Which he is not. It is idiotic to suggest that.
Have you bothered to consider Dems' rhetoric in all of this?
"He's the greatest threat to democracy since Hitler."
"He's the most immoral man in America."
"He cannot allowed to be president again." (Said also here in some form or another.)
"He's the most dangerous man in America." (I personally heard this on left wing XM radio yesterday.)
Long time staunch Conservatives, like Judge J. Michael Luttig, and Rep. Liz Cheney have echoed the
charge that 'Donald Trump is a threat to our Democracy"...and numerous former Trump cabinet members, aides and GOP leaders insist that he never be allowed to hold office again...therefore, this is clearly NOT a partisan opinion...nor is it a call to violence....rather it is a call to VOTE against him.
Trump was a threat to Liz Cheney, her prick father, and the deep state, That's what she doesn't like

I notice that you haven't acknowledged Judge J. Michael Luttig's identical warning that DJT is a
threat to this nation's democracy...what's your creative story about his motivation? ;-)
Man, are you easy...
It's Trump's fault says the NYT's Peter Baker, who has obviously had it in the oven too long.
