      Trump is directly responsible for this new era of violence in politics, and we’re supposed to be surprised when the man who literally incited an insurrection to try to overturn the results of a democratic election gets targeted by political violence? Did Trump expect to somehow be immune from leopards eating his face? No, he’s the one who unleashed these forces in the first place.

      [Here’s a non-exhaustive catalogue of Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric.](https://www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-trump-violent-rhetoric-catalogue) “No American public figure has done more to normalize political violence.”

      Yes. Speaking the truth is not rhetoric. Going out and calling for his harm would be. But democrats don’t do that. Republicans have done that in the last few days alone.

      It’s not violent rhetoric using Trump’s own words against him.

      Don’t they say ‘it’s not a Democracy, it’s a Constitutional Republic🤪’

      By that logic, isn’t it a compliment?

      We’re past that. He’s already violently assaulted our democracy. He is *treasonous* and has brainwashed his followers into helping him continue further and higher. And there are many powerful people to help his fascist machine drive on

      “The libs are being violent by pointing out our violence!! NOT FAIR”

      I mean he famously tried to overthrow an election he lost on multiple fronts, including sending a mob to the capitol in an attempted coup.

      He has said he would be a dictator on day 1. He is currently threatening to jail his political adversaries down to donors and late night hosts. He has told people that after this election they’ll never need to vote again. He is the very definition of a ‘threat to democracy.’

      Trump makes America unsafe continuingly unleashing his cascading lies and minimizing and demonizing marginalized communities.

      A threat not just to democracy in America but all other democratized countries.

      It might be true, but it’s never been an effective posture to campaign on. The fact is saying things like this makes him look cool and powerful to his base. 

      It’s far more effective to just clown him and call him weird. Make him look small. I am glad Kamala gets what Hillary never did.

      Trump is democracy. His opponents just instigate too much. I doubt there has been a president that has taken that much abuse.
