    Talking trash and inciting violence are not the same thing. Trump always reminds people to protest peacefully. Trump asked the January 6 protestors to keep it peaceful. Some did riot which shows Trump does not control his base.

    The college students who have specifically threatened to harm Jewish students and/or Riley Gains are terrorists. But that doesn't necessarily include all college students who have protested the war in Gaza or bigotry against transgender folk.

    Is the man who gunned down three Palestinian Americans a terrorist?

    Yeah like this peaceful protester.

    https://news.yahoo.com/ex-police-chief-brought-hatchet-211600149.html
    A former California police chief who brought a hatchet to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for his role in the siege.

    Alan Hostetter, who spewed conspiracy theories during his trial and again at his sentencing hearing Thursday, was found guilty of multiple felony charges, including conspiracy, in July.

    All because MAGAs perpetuated false claims to nth degree. A man will spend 11 yrs in a federal prison, which has no parole, all because MAGAs take no responsibility. !!!

    Oh look — another person that cannot defend the words.

    Telling someone to “fight like hell” prior to an election can have a different connotation than telling them to “fight like hell” after an election.

    And none of you have even attempted to explain how “the only good democrat is a dead one” can be twisted.

    Thanks for playing

    So now their terrorist?
    Then what do you call over 500 riots murdering Americans, burning down billions in businesses, burning down federal buildings, taking over the city of Seattle, attacking the White House and injuring over 60 Secret Service and Capitol Police, attacking the SCOTUS to stop a confirmation?

    While your Democrat Gods cheered them on with real rhetoric
    Like

    Kamala Harris said that "protesters should not let up!" while protestors were murdering Americans

    Rep. Ayanna Pressley screamed, "There needs to be unrest in the streets," while protestors were murdering Americans

    Maxine Waters screaming "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gas station, you get out and create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere," while protestors were murdering Americans

    Nancy Pelosi claiming "I just don't know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be," while protestors were murdering Americans

    Can't wait to hear this excuse

    Selective outrage. Leftist encourage violent extremism all the time. You know what's popular among lefties now? Calling for an end to Israel and the genocide of Jews:

    .. and this terrible college President can't bring herself to condemn it.

    They weren't all before an election, but you knew that.

    He shouldn't have retweeted it, but didn't the tweet say, "I don't say that in the physical sense"? Probably why you never post the actual tweet.

    No problem

    What say you about left wing extremism, such as the shooting at the Senate softball game?

    Because I searched your posts, and it appears you didn't have anything to say about that radicalism derived from rhetoric that created violence?

    Does it only matter when it's the right?

    yep, wrong too, but one was doing it only for themselves, because they lost and wanted to steal the election

    one was fighting against injustices, though I agree, violence was the wrong answer and words like that do not help

    Trump is in it for Trump and no one else

    Hmmmm, Then who spewed these fake accusations trying to mind soak the heads of the left into a frenzy

    A Capitol Police officer was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher
    Protestors killed 5 people
    Protestors took down the American flag and raised a Trump flag on top of the Capitol
    AOC was hiding in a closet because she was afraid she would be killed
    It was an armed insurrection
    A Capitol Police officer died from being suffocated with bear spray

    been released many times, Trump invited them there, he did that

    Trump told them they had to go to the capital and fight like hell or they would lose their country

    Trump was only in it for Trump

    Yes because when one thinks the election was rigged, that's the reaction one has right?
    Maybe he learned it from Democrats. 2016-2020.. the left did everything to change the election result.. or .. remove the winner from office.. which is likely seen by the left as patriotic.
    Trump and Republicans do it.. they are traitors!!
    I do enjoy the double standards..

    Oh, so you want to go out of context with the post.
    Ok,
    Who caused over 500 riots murdering Americans,
    Who was burning down billions in businesses,
    Who was burning down federal buildings,
    Who took over the city of Seattle,
    Who was attacking the White House and injuring over 60 Secret Service and Capitol Police,
    Who was attacking the SCOTUS to stop a confirmation

    Thats not inciting a riot

    Nope, taking Trumps speech out of context shows desperation and a willingness to falsify a statement to make a false claim

    So you have nothing
    Thats what I thought

    Someone didn't pay attention in the last election . . . otherwise you'd know where the actual threats are coming from. Hell, if you are an election worker, all you have to do is pass a mint to someone and Trump supporters will do everything in their power to ruin your life and the life of the person you passed the mint to. NOTHING dems have done has come close to this.
