    the problem isnt those individual people so much as echo chambers. back when Hillary lost her Presidential bid, there were a LOT of similar calls from the lefty side of the media - inciting riots, etc.

    it’s nothing new, really.

      i don’t remember that at all. Calls for outright killing political opponents, and starting a civil war? “A LOT”? There were protests, yeah, but nothing like this.

      “both sides” are not the same.

      Bullshit there were, just because you would kill someone because you don’t get your own way, does not mean anybody on the left thinks like that. Perhaps you don’t get who the left are, they are like against killing folk just because you’re having a tantrum like a toddler.

      This both sides shit was projecting when it was first suggested and it’s even less credible now.

      The extreme left (if that’s even a believeable thing) come round to you house and force you to recycle and have a composting bin under your sink, they do not kill you.
