‘When Trump and the convention participants say they are seeking unity, what they really mean is that they want Democrats to stop using words like “fascist,” “authoritarian,” and “criminal” to describe the MAGA-GOP’s fascist, authoritarian, criminal leader.

You will not see Trump step to the podium and say, “Because there is never any excuse for political violence in America, I renounce my own role in contributing to the toxicity of American politics.” We know that because Trump never apologizes for anything. We know it because his first words following the shooting, “fight, fight, fight!” were a manifestation of that. And we know because we know Trump to be the number one instigator of political violence in this country, the number one contributor to the toxicity of the current environment.
Trump is the one who instigated and later celebrated the single largest act of political violence in modern American history—the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He is the one who implied the proper response of his supporters to the Biden Administration would be “bedlam.”
He is the one who defended the marchers in Charlottesville even though they had blood on their hands. He is the one who has regularly promoted violence against political enemies from rally podiums very much like the one he hid behind this past weekend. He is the one who proposed using the government of the United States to intimidate and brutalize peaceful protestors and his opponents. He is the man who has made retribution the stated first mission of the next Trump administration should there be one.
Trump in fact bears a major share of the responsibility for creating many of the conditions that in turn led to a shooting in which he himself was the target. And we should be very clear that in blaming the left for what happened on Saturday, his supporters, those closest to him, are already making it likely that further violence will occur.’
It doesn’t violate President Biden’s admonition that we take the temperature down in U.S. politics to describe a fascist as a fascist, or a coup instigator as a coup instigator.

Yet given these facts and more, Trump will be the GOP 2024 presidential nominee.
You will not see Trump step to the podium and say, “Because there is never any excuse for political violence in America, I renounce my own role in contributing to the toxicity of American politics.”
And you’ll never hear Biden say that either.
We know that because Trump never apologizes for anything
I haven’t heard any kind of apology from Biden for anything.

You must not listen to your own media then.
See, it’s fascinating how the left is trying to lay the blame for all of this at the feet of Trump, and completely ignore their own contribution to all of this.
For awhile now, I’ve been telling you people that I listen to both left and right wing radio. I’ve been telling you that the left wing radio are some of the most hate filled, vile, and divisive people. That, for the years that I’ve been listening to them, their entire programs are all a constant attack on republicans and on Trump. The constant “all right wing/christians/republicans, are racist, misogynist, anti gay, etc”, the extreme hate that they spew daily that fills the minds of their listeners, and you hear the anger in the callers to the show.
Notice the part of one of the Lincoln project founders “they are going to have to put a bullet in trump”
Thanks Kyle Gass and Jack Black for letting everyone know who you truly are…and the thousands in the audience who cheered when he said it..
And the videos of the people crying because the shooter missed Trump, that are mysteriously gone now…can’t have that staring the dems in the face now, can we.
And yet, you want to talk about the rhetoric of Trump…..
Here’s the deal, EVERY politician speaks rhetoric, but what the left has been doing is a direct inciting of anger amongst their base, ever since Trump came down the escalator.
Trump is the one who instigated and later celebrated the single largest act of political violence in modern American history—the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Interesting how you will blame Trump for instigating J6, but try to completely absolve ourselves from instigating hate and violence from your side.
He is the one who defended the marchers in Charlottesville even though they had blood on their hands.
A debunked lie that the left STILL repeats, even after they know it’s been debunked (more rhetoric from the left, you all just can’t let go of an inciteful talking point even when you know it’s wrong)
He is the one who has regularly promoted violence against political enemies from rally podiums very much like the one he hid behind this past weekend.
What political violence has he promoted??
He is the one who proposed using the government of the United States to intimidate and brutalize peaceful protestors and his opponents
You mean destructive unconstitutional rioters?
He is the man who has made retribution the stated first mission of the next Trump administration should there be one.
Well gee, I wonder why?? After 9 years of attacks and lawfare, I’m sure there are a few people he wants to go after.
