Paul Waldman: Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

There is only one party that celebrates violence; every piece of reporting should start with that frame of reference.

Oh, I’m sure it will

ok. and? you've got the moral high ground, now what.

Now more readers will connect Republicans with being the instigators, making it less likely they'll vote for one. Seems worthwhile.

more "when they go low, we lose" shit

And it wasn't even a lib who did the shooting, it was one'a their guys!

That's the first thing the disinformation machine will erase.

The first thing it'll try to, anyway.

What might be cool is if everyone with a voice that reaches further than this website would repeat the phrase "remember how Trump got shot by a young registered republican voter?" about five times a day. Young people are the future, after all.

Even mainstream sources are pointing out how a registered Republican gave 15 bucks to act blue once Like and?

He actually didn't. He was 17 and he registered to vote. He could still vote for any party and he voted republican

"You assholes are so -singly- obsessed with political violence you'll go after your own, seemingly on a whim!" Would this framing help us?

I think this one might do better.

You wanna know what I think? I'll tell you what I think. I think someone young enough to still have an intact soul ran the numbers on the existential threat presented by trump VS the consequences of leftists trying to assassinate him and decided to make a move. I only wish he'd gone for center mass.

Republicans: “Kill the traitors!” Democrats: “Please don’t do a fascism!” Media: “All this rhetoric is inflammatory.”

Just more deflection & more violence to come from Project 2025. It's there in black & white type. Plus earlier this & last week from those autocratic authors. The violence is only part of ONE major parties' agenda

David Frum stated years ago that if conservatives could not win democratically, they would turn to violence. David was a long time republican advisor.

Greg Abbott is a seditionist POS who should be a convicted criminal. He can share his cell with convicted criminals and fellow racist seditionists Donald Trump Joe Biggs. Let the cockroaches fight it out between the bunk beds

The GOP position is that in the USA everyone is allowed to own a gun but only supposed to use it to shoot liberals.

Historians point to the Reichstag fire as key in the rise of Nazi Germany...it’s not outside the realm of possibility for #Trump to follow the playbook of #Hitler's #ReichstagFireDecree and use the assassination attempt as the basis for whipping up fervor against his political enemies.

We need to turn UP the rhetoric. We need to be screaming 24/7 that these people are inhuman monsters who gleefully commit every crime known to man and some crimes that aren’t

I want to wake up every day to hear Dems accusing Trump of eating children and worshipping the devil

IOKIYAR Same as it ever was

That shining city upon a hill is getting so far away it is nearly invisible. 🙁

They’re the biggest mf’rs on this planet and will be the ones that destroy America. Conservatives suck BGDD’s!

Hopefully the liberals in charge will quickly realize they’re being played. History tells us that won’t happen but still.

Democrats seem to be in agreement. They withdrew attack ads on Trump indefinitely "out of respect." Meanwhile, Trump posed for photo-ops on the golf course and fundraised on his own assassination attempt. 'Democrats' rhymes with 'doormats.'

republicans want to be above the law while also being in charge of all the laws for everyone else. #VoteAllRepublicansOutOfOffice every office! No exceptions!

The "rhetoric" they find offensive is talking about Trump's criminal proclivities. And his convictions/judgments. And his plans to obliterate democracy and establish himself as Dear Leader for the rest of his life. So, conservatives, don't hold your breath. This is on the agenda for the duration.

There is nothing they fear more than someone who might shoot back.

Hypocrites and gaslighters

they already are. really love an opposition party that not only fails to oppose the party that runs on a campaign of Killing Absolutely Everyone, but actively just takes their marching orders from the Kill Absolutely Everyone party

who wants a trigger warning now?

Good point

Oh - so you're saying there should be some RECIPROCITY involved? "Treat others as you would have others treat YOU?" Get real! This is 'Texxis,' man. We don't cut them 'other folk' no breaks 'round here.
