Carefully selected, edited without context, "facts". Highly filtered and perfectly cooked video. To think otherwise is to be as brainwashed as you claim others to be.

No, we don't need to do that.

Yippee, I would prefer to live, as the saying goes, in uninteresting times.

Yeah I'd hope anyone who isn't a full MAGA nut would see this violence is a symptom of Trump and all the more reason he cannot win.
I'm not convinced this helps his campaign to win votes from any swing voters; at least I hope that's how moderate people see it.

What are the chances that this close call is a wake up call to Trump to cool it with the rhetoric, start to listen to advisors and experts, and treat others with respect and dignity regardless of political affiliations. I mean it could happen…. right? Right?!

Hell, the right-wing stacked Supreme Court has already stripped away women's rights. This is just the beginning.

And don't think Canada is immune to this insanity. MAGA style politics and rhetoric has already leaked into Alberta under Smith and the UCP, and Poilievre has been spouting similar extreme-right bulls***.
Can you provide specific examples? What is MAGA style politics even? What is Poilievre doing that falls under this? What is Smith doing that falls under this?

The video within the video is the exact same thing both sides do. That's my point. You're brainwashed to think this doesn't happen on both sides of politics. The real issue is people like you demonize Trump when he does it, but say nothing when others do it. Fact is, both are at fault.

Hahahaha not happening. I mean when he was finally starting to be held accouhtable for his crimes he claimed they were coming after him and they would come after you (his supporters) next.
Probably more likely to be similar to that.

Doesn't need to be brought up here. Go to the Canada politics thread where it was talked about for the last two weeks or so. You'll learn all about the fascist tendencies of PP.

I think the biggest issue from all this is now there is zero chance that his supporters will accept the result of an election loss.
