Ok. Let's to do this then.
Show me another candidate that has ADVOCATED violence against other Americans. I'll wait .....
You stand all high and mighty, while earlier in your comment you said:
Talk about rampant hypocrisy....
[–] DeepFriedPickles ago (edited ago)
I'm sorry where was the example you provided for Trump inciting violence against another American? Here is an example of what you asked for since unlike you I don't like making baseless claims. Not to mention any candidate that supports the BLM movement, such as Sanders or Clinton, is supporting violence that has and will continue to happen against white Americans.
I see your reading comprehension has not improved since the last time we encountered one another, I never once claimed to be on a moral high ground. That's kinda the point. I'm openly aware of the fact that I don't treat liberals with respect. Why? Because they treat conservatives with less respect than sub-human scum and then immediately proceed to pretend that liberals are the most moral, respectful, and kind people on Earth. People on the right rarely pretend to be pompous assholes, while people on the left almost unilaterally do, but then proceed to fling personal attacks like those "right wing extremists" they mock for being rude and childish. Either you're consciously aware of your extreme hypocrisy or your reality has become so warped by bullshit you honestly cannot see how hypocritical you are
This doesn't even get into the violence and harassment committed by liberal supporters against conservative supporters. When was the last time conservatives harassed and attacked liberals? Hell if I had a dollar every time I heard a liberal advocate for the murder of Trump, a fellow American, I'd be rich. So to see all that and then only criticize Trump for his hypothetical advocacy for violence against Americans is absurd.

LOL, exactly what I expected ... you're rich my friend.
and later, after someone did just that:
So, not only did he specifically ask for the violence to be carried out, he then excused it because of this persons passion for his country. And then:
He did it again. And then openly talked about even paying the legal fees:
But later reversed course, because, of course, that was a fucking galactic-ally stupid thing to say to begin with, and then double-down on:
Things like:
and
Shit like this. Show me another candidate making these kinds of statements. Who are these threats of violence directed against? Are these people not Americans?
