Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

It's funny because the Republicans present Democrats as overwhelmingly in favour of "taking your guns away". So it should, in a saner world, be pretty hard for them to claim that their rhetoric is motivating people to shoot anyone.

The Right is going to seize this narrative, as they always do. They will scapegoat the Left ad nauseam. Don't let them! The Left must stand up to this! No one has done more to supercharge divisive political rhetoric than DT. NO ONE. People are hurting, being snatched, losing their farms.

Exactly. Scump and his nasty comrades are vile and disgusting. They spew hatred and division. What Democrats say to get over it and throws innocent people out of the country, rips people from their families and lies incessantly?

I'm not a big fan of "whataboutism," but I think this is more than that. The extreme right has been fanning the flames of violence for well over a DECADE. For them to call for "toning down the rhetoric" is just laughable.

Gdamn right! I have said the same thing. Jesse Waters spewing his filth that we are waging war on the republikkkans is asinine as hell. Our government is celebrating violence against immigrants and LGBTQ+. There was a school shooting yesterday, but prez says nothing about that. 🤮

Yup. I'm done tolerating the double standard. DONE. No one on our side is calling for violence. The right calls for and celebrates violence all the damn time. Take THEM to task for it. Until then, I'll tell ya where you can shove your concerns about "Dem rhetoric"

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a country where the Right gets treated as badly as anyone left of, like, Nixon gets treated today and the left gets infinite free passes like the right currently does? I know for a fact no one on the Right could handle it if they faced a fraction of what we get.

@theresareloveution.bsky.social

Only if we allow it. 1) Republicans project onto Dems what they do. 2) If Republicans repeat a #LIE continually, people accept it as truth. Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels’ tactic was proven to work psychologically. Everyone needs to counter GOP’s propaganda narrative w/truth.

The Clint Initiative Podcast
@theclintpodcast.bsky.social

You said: 2) If Republicans repeat a #LIE continually, people accept it as truth. Remember: Their every accusation is their confession. The gunman was not a liberal. It was a Republican. A liberal would already be in custody. Just a hunch I have. Further, I believe the FBI knows who it is.

I think it's because conservatives see him as someone that gave them their youth back. Which saved the idea of a family for a lot of parents worried their son or daughter would go off to college and come back hating them. I don't agree with that analysis of what happens, but some are terrified.

No one has sunk to his level. Taking the high road and maintaining norms while hoping for *real* bipartisainship is what got us here. That didn't work. It's time to fight fire with napalm, and dem leadership hasn't caught on to it yet. The price for their failure is freedom & democracy.

@vagabondvisions.bsky.social

They can't change the policies because, ultimately, conservatism is fascism in its naturally evolved state. What we think of as "conservatism" in the US has the components of fascism baked-in. The terminology simply caught up to what was always the ideology.

I said this to someone at work yesterday. The jab went over his head. Instead he says "I'm sure his family will appreciate your thoughts and prayers in this terrible time." I of course couldn't let it go. I said that I am not sure they want my thoughts and prayers since I'm a heathen.

Seriously. Dem rhetoric, at its absolute highest fever pitch (I'm thinking Crockett, Sanders, AOC, Newsom's comms team) is only violent to maga's delicate fee-fees. And F*** their fee-fees.

I agree with Elizabeth! The rhetoric really started up and 2015 and it’s been on an escalator uphill all the way! He loves this division! Does he actually feel anything about Kirk? I doubt it.

But Reagan never spoke like Trump did he never disrespected the other party he would make his statements much more subtly when it came to disliking what the other side stood for, but Trump started on it, “radical Democrats and they love him because he openly hates the people they hate.

"People who say Dems need to tone down their rhetoric"; Who are these people? Since they said "their rhetoric", it means that they were Repubs, bad mouthing Dems, which is the opposite of, "toning it down". That says it all.

Maranda Michelle
@redxrum.bsky.social

A big problem is also complacency in liberal circles, and defending people's rights to platforms for abhorrent and dangerous speech. Access and freedom to platforms to dispense fascist ideals and rhetoric is a result of a quest for freedom and ignoring the nature of these ideas. And that 1/2

Maranda Michelle
@redxrum.bsky.social

at its deepest root, fascism uses liberalism to distribute fascist ideology, which leads to them taking over, obliterating the freedom of speech of everyone who isn't them. Right wingers DON'T believe in free speech. Everything is based on this false premise. Fascism should not be given an inch.
