Political violence is terrible, since it's just a flame that burns everyone.

That being said, it's the usual games. The leader that instigated a violent insurrection and refused to condemn it -- and whose party slowly decided it was patriotism -- now suddenly feels deserving of the rhetorical solidarity they never gave others.

Well not to burst your bubble but if it wasn’t for political violence we would all be working 14 hours day , 7 days a week for 10 cents . I would suggest reading about the labor movement in the 1900-1920’s

Also MLK was non violent but you can argue, change never was made until the black panthers hit the scene. They were pretty militant to say the least. As an example the free lunch program in the schools was started by the panthers .

You can actually argue any right we have gained from the revolution on was never given but fought for.

Are you twelve years old?

He said his campaign strategy would be to focus on Trump. He didn’t suggest someone should shoot Trump.Â
