    Really? Now, republicans are crying about toning down the political discourse? Anyone forget about Gabby Giffords? Did anything change since back then? No. It just got worse and it’s probably going to get even worse in the future.

      Anyone forget about Gabby Giffords?

      Yes. Straight down the memory hole, assuming you don’t believe it was a fake fifth columnist inside job to trick Arizona into Going Woke.

      Why do you assume this is a Republican posting the meme? Why are you so quick to assume and attack one side? Remind me again, what have Dems been saying constantly about sending Seal Team 6 to kill Trump after the Supreme Court decision on immunity?

      Ffs, you are so blatantly stuck in your echochamber.

        People on the left talk about “sending in Seal Team 6” as a way of pointing out the hypocrisy and short-sightedness of the right’s power grab. Not because anyone actually thinks the president should assassinate people.

        Meanwhile Trump has literally said he wants to execute his political opponents and the right-wing supreme court gave their blessing.

        It’s not a bothsides, get off the fence.

        I wasn’t referring to the meme, but rather the rhetoric of the republican party since the Obama era.

        Also, which democratic politician was it that talked about sending in seal team 6? As in, an actual representative, not just some random person on social media? Genuinely curious, since I only found that a judge was asking the question if the recent supreme court decision would allow for something like this.

        Other than that I, also found this:

        That’s not how I took their comment. It was pointing out the hypocrisy of the Right. You know how the Right is always somehow justified in their actions of physically attacking political opponents.

        Nancy Pelosi’s husband is another example. Did you hear any support for their families from the right wing after either of those attacks? The right wing doesn’t care about people, they want to kill people they don’t like. Ex: Jan 6

        Contrast with the left, when someone doesn’t abide by the law. They call for justice, they don’t believe crimes are okay just because it’s their party. Do you know why the left says the seal team 6 joke? It’s pointing out the rights hypocrisy again. Because trump would have no problem killing Biden or anyone else he doesn’t like. Difference is the right wing likes violence, and would condone trumps actions. Whereas if Biden ever did that he would immediately be out of the Democrat ticket. And the left would be calling for him to be tried criminally.

        But hey keep drinking the billionaires propaganda. And let them manipulate you into giving them, this country on a silver platter.

        You’re too far gone. I suspect you lack any substantial critical thinking skills and have consumed too much fox news. At this point, your brain has rotted to the core and you’re just another parrot.

        If you can ignore all the crimes and rapes Trump has committed and been found guilty, and still support him, you’re just a bad person.
