Just have to keep in mind what we are dealing with.

Peaceful protests work. Plenty of people protesting today cited that their main motivation was violence against peaceful protesters. People do not like that, and this injustice tends to form a greater coalition.

So what you're saying is, MAGA and republicans are winning because they're more peaceful? Or is the left losing because they're more violent? Because it seems like they're winning because they're actually taking material action with violence while the left do nothing but symbolic peaceful action.

The turnout was great and all but Trump is still in power, ICE is still abducting, and now politicians are getting murdered by gunmen who can conveniently slip away undetected from the middle of a gunfight. What does peaceful protest actually solve when the opposition is just straight up murdering?

I'm sure another peaceful protest will defeat this guy.

So apparently this is in reply to another tweet of his where he accused it of possibly being a hit from Walz and that is you don't vote with Democrats, then Democrats will kill you. Still completely unhinged, but the context changes the meaning of this tweet.

The image comes from a reply in the reddit comments.

I may not have enough context on this guy and how he stands on stuff but, I usually read "per" as in "stated by" which would mean he is relaying that bit from Walz. And wouldn't make me worried this guy is backing the violence.

If if meant it as in Walz coordinated/hired the hit or something, then that is unhinged.
