The wording “death of democracy” would be criticized as encouraging violence if it came from the right.

Trump used that words to describe what would happen to the American auto if Biden got reelected. And don't pretend that you were unaware of the context.

Oh the hypocrisy. When Trump handily survived the first attempt many Dem politicians wished "thoughts and prayers", although some stuck to the playbook "dammitt he missed". Yet wishing "thoughts and prayers" to a would-be Hitler seems rather odd, yes?

Now we have a cat-eating theme where it's the Republican pols fault for calling attention to an out of control situation in a small Ohio town, causing the eruption of bomb threats, according to the Dems.

And so it goes on and on...

Bomb threats are politically convenient, though. Usually there’s no proof that they actually occurred or, if there is, they prove to be bogus. On the other hand, the proof that two attempts were made on Trump’s life is irrefutable.

By the way, if you’d ever had a bullet whiz past your head or clip your ear, you wouldn’t think you survived handily. You’d thank God that you didn’t get killed.

Well it is handily survivable if it was staged as the Dems seem to believe...

Right-wing speech is violence.

Left-wing violence is speech.

Once you understand the rules, It all becomes clear.
