Trump is inciting violence

His audience is tens of millions of people. Only a tiny percentage need to act to severely disrupt this country’s politics.

The rhetoric from leaders really matters. An experiment conducted last September by two political scientists, Lilliana Mason and Nathan Kalmoe, asked Democratic and Republican partisans about their views on political violence. Some were shown quotes from a party leader (Trump or Biden) condemning such violence before being asked the questions; others were not.

The results were striking. When party leaders condemn violence against their opponents, partisans become more likely to oppose it as well. Absent that, strong partisans were considerably more likely than average Americans to condone it. And this finding likely understates the risk of non-condemnation.

“Our survey was among ‘regular’ Americans — I doubt we had any militia members in that sample,” Mason told me.

Biden seems to understand the risks here. In his speech on Monday, he forcefully condemned the violence that has erupted amid largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protests in places like Kenosha. “Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. It’s lawlessness — plain and simple,” he said.

WHERE WAS BIDEN THREE MONTHS AGO?
HIS POLL NUMBERS WERE TANKING, SO HE HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.

WHERE WAS THE MEDIA THREE MONTHS AGO?
WERE THEY CONDEMNING THE VIOLENCE THEN???
NO, THEY WERE NOT.
THEY WERE MINIMIZING AND EXCUSING IT.

But there’s an asymmetry here.
YEAH, NO SHIT.

Quote:

Early data on arrests during this summer’s protests suggests that the looters and vandals aren’t political activists, as the right suggests, but tend to be people with criminal records exploiting the situation. Even those avowedly left-wing groups that do engage in street violence, like antifa, are not supporters of the Democratic Party — in fact, they tend to be anarchists and far-leftists who disdain the liberal establishment.
THIS IS JUST TRYING TO EXCUSE THE DNC'S AND MSM'S ORIGINAL SILENCE ABOUT THE VIOLENCE, AND TO SPIN A NARRATIVE THAT SEPARATES THE DNC AND MSM FROM THE RIOTS.

That's enough for one day, Russian troll. Go drink some vodka or something.They are protests, not riots. Until your Nazi heroes or the cops show up.

You just need to shut the fuck up, you know-nothing bore.

I REVIEWED BOTH VIDEOS, FRAME BY FRAME, AND SAW NO EVIDENCE OF ANY ALTERCATION BEFORE HE WAS SHOT. I'M WAITING FOR THE INVESTIGATION TO BE COMPLETED.

WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE?

SAYS WHO???

WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE?
WITNESS STATEMENTS?
VIDEOS?
RESIDUE ANALYSIS OF CLOTHING?

IS THIS LIKE "COVINGTON STUDENTS ASSAULT NATIVE ELDER"?

SHIT, DOOD, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT EVIDENCE IS? I MEAN, YOU REPEATING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER IS ....NOT ... EVIDENCE.

I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE BECAUSE ALL YOU CAN DO IS CALL ME "RUSSIAN TROLL" AND REPEAT YOURSELF AD NAUSEUM.


*****

IF THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE SHOOTER ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE... WELL, THEN, IT WAS SELF DEFENSE. I DON'T EXPECT PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE FROM CIVILIANS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE FOR THAT, SO PEOPLE MAY REACT DISPROPORTIONATELY TO A THREAT. BUT EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU KNOW THAT HE ATTACKED THE SHOOTER.

I BET YOU CAN'T.

SO, CUE "RUSSIAN TROLL" IN 3... 2... 1...

Let's do a quick check of what you are claiming, Signym:

Did the democratic party condemn violence 3 months ago?
www.google.com/search?q=did+the+democratic+party+condemn+violence+3+mo
nths+ago%3F

70,200,000 times the Democrats condemned violence. Here's one example:

Top Democrats told Black Lives Matter activists to steer clear of violence

Multiple high-profile Democrats have spoken out against violence at Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer in May.

On May 31, the fifth night of demonstrations, former Vice President Joe Biden, the party’s presumptive nominee, wrote in a statement that protesting police brutality is “right and necessary” and the “American response."

“But burning down communities and needless destruction is not,” Biden wrote. “Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”

Signym, there are 70,200,000 more examples, minus those two, of Democrats condemning violence.

In contrast, Trump encouraged his supporters to go on a murder-rampage just yesterday:

Reporter asks Trump to condemn Kenosha shooter. Watch his response.
When asked about the ongoing protests in Portland, Oregon, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, President Donald Trump refused to condemn 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who is facing homicide charges for allegedly killing two protesters in Kenosha.

Carried on the back pages, while the MSM kept up the fiction that there was little violence, burning, and looting?

I mean, CNN with it's chyron of "fiery but mostly peaceful" in front of an out-of-control blaze belongs on The Onion website, not for real.


This is just the most ludicrous example of reporting, but I've been checking in with CNN and MSNBC regularly, and they's been spinning this story so badly that they've become figures of open mockery.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeleris an idiot. Instead of blaming violence on people committing violence, he blamed Trump.

And for his pains, his apartment attracted several hundred "Antifa" protestors who launched fireworks at his apartment .



@Pigman
Replying to @badassday @tedwheeler
Can't wait for The Guardian to report "Peaceful protesters give the Portland Mayor a free fireworks display".


That's what happens when you pander to a mob.

It's not enough to wring your hands about it, as mayor, you have to DO something.

This week, Trump told FOX News that Biden was a terrorist. Unsaid was a request for someone to kill Biden, but assassinating Biden was implied because if he was elected, he would destroy America. That was the story Trump was telling about Biden.



Trump said Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is secretly being controlled by a roving band of black-clad violent extremists who like to fly on commercial airlines. It’s a theory disturbingly reminiscent of a disinformation tactic commonly deployed by dictators around the world to discredit legitimate political opposition.
