I'm torn, because I think that incitement would bring about the end of the trump era much more quickly, as it'll get put down hard. But I also don't want to advocate violence or for stupid people to get hurt for no reason other than their ignorance.
Ignorance has been out the window for a decade. These people knowingly engaged in falsehoods long enough to convince themselves they're right, and I am sick of giving them a pass as if they're just dumb, poorly informed, unable to find alternatives to their hate rhetoric, etc.
At a certain point, it's malice. The saying about not attributing to malice what can be explained by ignorance is for situations *where all else is equal." We are beyond that point.
Throw the book at him. Let them riot and ruin their own shithole counties, or let them try to drive to big cities to attack them, and then throw the book at them too. I'm done accepting responsibility for the actions of these people, who have been given countless opportunities to not be assholes.
Ignorance punishes itself every day. Yes we should try to prevent it, but Facebook will build a bigger idiot.
It’s not just ignorance. There’s a lot of malice, too.
we have the worlds most advanced, trained, and funded army. Lets let them riot..Lets follow up with force and throw them all in jail.
We can't let the justice system bow to the threat of violence.
