In the last 30 years that I have been observing, I would never have thought our politics would evolve into what we see today. Even in the heavily 5 week contested G Bush election both Bush and Gore were focused on positive rhetoric to bring Americans together but today we see none of that. today.
I agree that we need more viable candidates that is why I said that part of this election may come down to not only which base comes out, but which candidate loses more votes to a third party.
My point was that if Trump wanted to stay in power badly enough he would have used violence when he left the white house. This started by the assertion that he would be willing to use such acts as murder which you cannot really get much more violent than that.
the democratic party in certain states which in turn means Biden would be the only one on the ballot, so why hold a primary.
Him trespassing the White House after the end of his term wouldn’t have kept him in power as he was just another citizen at that point.
The murder was a hypothetical question presented to Trump by a judge, and the Trump lawyers. You kind of derailed the thread with this rather meaningless point when one understands the Trump already caused enough violence on Jan 6th in order to stay in power. After the election was certified for Biden Trump had no choice but to leave. Trump doesn't really do violence unless it is a woman who is alone, otherwise he gets his supporters to do the violence so they have to take the blame.
Clearly unacceptable anti democratic authoritarianism, when democrats do it. It was speaking with the voice of the people united when republicans canceled primaries in 2020.
Again, I am still not sure that he called on his supporters to be violent.
and I did not say that it was right when the Republicans did it.
I think the sensationalism of the title has people making opinions about the subject. I still think Trump's lawyers should be fired for their comments. (added) What lawyer in his right mind would answer a hypothetical question?
The lawyers mentioned it being OK for president to order a SEAL team to kill his opponents, but are his opponents people that disagree with him OR is it people who wish to harm America at large.? I am not sure if that question was not a loaded question.
I’m mean after defending slavery I guess I should have expected this…
He did not have too. They are a fanatic unstable, unpredictable bunch who prioritize their emotions over rational thought. perhaps that is why they like him so much. he is the same way. So he gets up there with inflammatory remarks and then is silent in the White House as they break into the capital. So No. he didn't tell anyone to go murder or to do what they did. But he hoped they would and did not try to stop them. Is there guilt in that? What can he get away with?
First of all how can you know what he "hoped" it would do unless he admitted as much that is why intent crimes are so hard to prove because we cannot read people's minds. Second of all, what do you want him to do other than call the law ( who would have already been there anyway to "stop" them?
Whats your view of the left are they harming or helping America?
