I know they’re going to say it is only jokes. Fuck that. I get y’all want to be edgelords, but this is the most dangerous thing that has happened this century. I would be surprised now if we make it to the end of the year without some people getting assassinated for real, and it will target overwhelmingly the leftest end of the spectrum.

Example, example, example. There are others.

Y’all are on the precipice of finding out firsthand the difference between “OMG I’m so oppressed, the police are racist and I’m struggling to pay my bills, civil war y’all” and “OMG I’m so oppressed, a gang of big violent fuckers with bats and boots and the support of the government just attacked my whole community, seriously hurt me, and burned part of my house down. They told us if they find us here tomorrow, they’ll kill us.”

    I get what you’re saying. But labeling an assasination attempt as misfortune is a little disingenuous don’t you think?

    I don’t think that political violence shouldn’t be celebrated or even slightly accepted. It’s not the solution. If you don’t mind people celebrating the assasination attempt of Trump.

    You also don’t have to mind people celebrating a potential attempt on Biden, or any other politician. And I don’t think you actually want to do that.

    I don’t like him either. But when you start shooting/assasinating politicians you don’t agree with you end up like Mexico or Russia.
