Donald Trump Suggests ‘Second Amendment People’ Could Act Against Hillary Clinton (August 2016)
Mr. Trump, in emphasizing gun issues and the Supreme Court during a speech, issued what some saw as a threat to Mrs. Clinton.
Old, but seems relevant
Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.

He's consistently in favor of his political opponents being threatened with violence, it's one of the few things he's been consistent about in his life
“Look, you should just turn down the violent rhetoric!”
-people who’ve been espousing violent rhetoric since 2008
I remember after this all the Celebrities and Politicians talking AGAINST Donald Trump's VIOLENT RHETORIC!
JK I don't!
You should put the date in the title.
Fair point. Done.
There was also that time he said McConnell had a "DEATH WISH" because he voted for some stuff trump didn't like.
We go high, they go low.
Today on Facebook, a big trumpist just admitted to me that he just wants to see his political opponents suffer (even die), and sent me a gore image.
I'm in a gun club and the WhatsApp chat had, surprise surprise, a rich, fashy vet immediately saying that the attempt meant that all supporters of the Democrats were now "enemy combatants" and should be treated like enemy combatants were back when "they" were deployed. Fucking psychotic, brownshirt ass. I know this makes me sound like him, but people like him have one solution and it's measured in six foot increments of rope.
Right. We all agree that encouraging violence is bad.
Right lemmy?
RIGHT LEMMY?
It's only free speech when we speak. When someone says something I don't like, that's not free speech.
It's only ok to incite violence when we do it.
This hypocrisy isn't a good look. Lemmy loves to point at Trump's hypocrisy (see OP) but are blind to their own. It makes your position appear weaker because you don't actually stand for anything (e.g. free speech as it exists in the US).
I've said it before but many here are more like conservatives than they realize. They also don't really stand for anything. For example, they pretend to love small government and then bend right over with pre-lubed assholes when DeSantis legislates lab meat out of existence in their state instead of letting tHe FRee MArKeT decide.
If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

[A]s long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force

I hate pacifists, man. They always try to publicly shame you by making it seem like violence is never justified... stupid deontological thinking
Tell them you want exactly the same for Trump and watch them get triggered like the little snowflake they are.
And surely we can find old tweets condemning it from all the Trumpanzees screeching about "political hatred" today, right? Right?
Wow you know what trump has aged a lot in 8 years. I guess that’s a long time n shit huh
Probably a tougher 8 years if you were already geriatric at the start of those 8 years.
Stochastic terrorism should be addressed when it occurs. The duopoly gave him a pass on it and he keeps using it.

They are armed and organized. Are you?
"Don't Advocate for political violence here on Lemmy! It's OK to post about Donald Trump advocating for it though. "
Nuance is not strong with this one
I love reposting stuff from 2016 to further fearmonger and farm muh updoots
