He celebrated violence against Democrats, Democrats celebrate violence against him, his followers celebrate violence against Democrats, Democrats celebrate violence against his followers It’s a fucked up cycle that for some reason we are happy to continually perpetuate

The right tries to normalize violence and you’re saying it’s a cycle when the left finally makes comments like the right does?

What difference does it make who the root cause is? Nobody gets brownie points just because they weren’t the first ones to do it

You can’t call out a right winger for celebrating or poking fun when someone dies to gun violence. And then turn around and do the same thing when the victim is a right winger I’m not saying “ when they go low, we go high” but what good is it when everyone goes low?

the issue is the victim wasn’t just “a right winger” the victim was a neo nazi who very prominently encouraged and incited political violence to an audience of millions. this is not some random dude, this is like a step down from if Goebbels got assassinated basically (since instead of one propagandist, MAGA has many)

i’d say when you’re inciting genocidal violence that’s a fair bar. and for the record i don’t think he should be killed, this is a tragedy for the health of the country. i just don’t think it’s sad that he’s dead. the same way people weren’t sad when margaret thatcher died, or ronald reagan. because he is a monster of a person and is now burning in hell. people whose entire lives were dedicated to literally harming others for personal gain, don’t deserve to be mourned
