I’m listening to CNN now with speakers calling for civility . Well they need to tell Maxine and all her followers to quit attacking people. Let’s start with that.
I appreciate that you are trying for rationality here - and that's a good start given the tenor of some other postings. So I apologize for being picky, but if you parse your wording ...

If the left did it this it's a "publicity stunt" but if the right did then it's someONE "who's tired of being attacked everywhere and finally had enough"?

When folks accuse the "left" I'm always curious about who this "left" is of whom they speak. The DNC, with the upcoming elections? Some faction, perhaps the few Clinton supporters left? Political operatives?

In contrast, the ONE right winger who could be responsible is an aggrieved individual, driven to an unwise action by these same leftists?

I know (or sure assume) that you don't mean to imply that the "finally had enough" would in any way justify his or her behavior. And why is Maxine and what her "followers" may or may not have done relevant? About her violent transgressions I'm clueless, but as far as I know she's not in jail.

What's so hard to simply denounce this as wrong. Fair enough to talk of heightened political rhetoric, but that's a trend that's been in play for many years although admittedly heightening by the day. No one, though, can express concern about the divide with a straight face and not look to multiple players - from all sides of the political spectrum.

Obama severely hates Christians.

I know politics can get emotional sometimes, but who the hech wants to actually kill someone because of political differences?



There was a thread on here yesterday - not sure if it got deleted asking if anyone would ever sell their vote?


On person responded yes they would, if in exchange, all left wingers could be murdered. This is the level of hatred we are at here.

And the implied threats continue. Yet another poster on the rights side talking this up. This is nothing to be proud of folks, or to encourage in any way. The fact that folks on your side are doing so should at least alarm some of you.

Then you are missing the ability to agree to disagree and maybe have some decent friends. I have friends and family from both side and I never heard them say they "hate" the other side. We ALL live here and love our country.

The left and Democrats have not pushed a agenda of implication that all conservatives and white majorities are synonymous with nazism. But read here where this EXACT poster tries to imply that nationalism by definition is white nationalism.


https://www.city-data.com/forum/53452537-post164.html



And then goes on to make completely insane claims about how the left is trying to relive you of autonomy and diluted through open borders


The open borders nonsense is EXACTLY that. Go look. The left is not about open borders. Nor are they trying to relieve you of your autonomy.


And the implication is...what are conservatives supposed to do.



This is simply incitement. This is the nastiest sort of post. This is a attempt to turn us against one another. Its evil, its vile.
No you're not getting it. The left has given us a false dichotomy, either open borders or white nationalism. But they're not really allowing Americans to choose their policies. So the left has created enragement on both sides.

The right has brought this about with all its hate. They basically hate anyone that doesn't look like them (a straight white person) and despise all that do not think like them. They have no openess to anything different from themselves.

basically saying "he deserved it".
Pretty sickening.

Look, I dont care for Trump but I dont wish death upon him.

Besides, he self implodes everyday when he opens his mouth.

In your imaginations.


Hatred under Trump is WAY out of control.
If you think otherwise, you are in denial.
