IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY, METAPHORICALLY, GENEROUSLY TRUE!? The man cannot open his mouth without generally talking about how everyone on the left is actively, intentionally and malevolently destroying America, and that's when he is not actively calling for his highly volatile MAGA followers to do unethical, and even illegal, things to ensure "they don't steal this election". His followers break into and flood the Capital Building leaving police officers in their wake, conspire to kidnap governors, break into Nancy Pelosi's home and beat her husband to within an inch of his life when they don't find her, not to mention all the general violence and hate of those like the Proud Boys, the Patriot Front, and other white Christian nationalists. The idea that anyone could ever possibly see you as innocent in, at minimum, your rhetoric is mistifying.
It's projection.
With conservatives It's always fucking projection.
Well Trump has no imagination so that's simple for him, not sure I'd say that about all conservatives, just the simple ones. The ones that have an imagination are possibly more dangerous but least none of them are running for president...this time.
That said can you imagine how stunted someone would have to be not to have an imagination? If so you're probably better off mentally than half the presidential candidates.
Edit oh right 3rd party... So better off than half of the realistic presidential candidates.

His coaching from his campaign is showing through. They desperately want him to be the law and order candidate, "weathering the storm from the militant left", but he just can't help but attack the left and encourage further violence. He will sabotage his own campaign and image if he starts encouraging violence here.
Preach! But it’s mostly to the choir I think.
