You're suggesting people should burn down the houses of trump voters...? That's how we beat Trump?
Yes.
They knew what they voted for. They knew what the plan was. They willingly elected a dictator.
How is that not grounds for retribution??
They've shown they're willing to be violent. They've shown they don't care if people die as long as they get what they want.
Why shouldn't they feel that very same fear?
Even if you think it's perfectly fine morally, wouldn't that look awful in the public eye and paint a bad picture of those opposed to him? I think it could only harm any sort of real and effective movement. It's not representative of everyone anti-Trump, but they'd be easily painted that way.
Are y'all gonna start saying that all nazis don't deserve to be vilified because some were too stupid to figure out they were being lied to?
Because that's literally what you're doing now. This is what they wanted. Idgaf how it makes anti trumpers look because it makes them look like fucking heroes. Rather than the sheep German citizens who did nothing while nazis laid waste to marginalized communities because they were too propagandized to see the truth in front of their noses.
Watch out everyone we got a internet badass over here!
Trump voters are not a monolith. Plenty of them were fed misinformation
Well looking at my gene donor and FIL. It's not misinformation. They know full well what they are getting and are willing to sacrifice everything to get rid of some trans folks in sports and some illegals working the fields.
That's not an excuse.
It's not an excuse but it's a good enough reason to not burn their houses down
So we're just supposed to let these people do whatever they want because "they don't know any better"?
Yeah cause that's worked in the past.
I'm sorry but I must have missed the memo that the only two options are "let them do whatever" and "burn their houses down"
Kinda feel like you're just trolling, though, so I'm out
Nah just tired of openly violent people being treated with kid gloves. The house burning was just one method and was mainly brought up to show that no one is doing anything to hold these people accountable for their actions.
