      So they’re wrong that here on Lemmy people call for the deaths of Republicans literally every single day?

        I don’t think you’re being genuine. You can always find people online saying ridiculous shit. You can’t control that. But when it enters the sphere of “real politics” it needs to be shutdown. I hate the guy, but even Charlie Kirk could do this. It’s a very low bar but I’m not surprised the spineless shitsack Cruz couldn’t clear it.

          The politics here are just as real as they are there. What do you think emboldened conservative leaders to spout shit like this in the first place? It’s the fact that their base supports it, and the calls for violence here on Lemmy are no different, except that we’re sympathetic to the reasons.

        Conservatives decided that normal people are their enemy and need to be oppressed to death. We turned the other cheek for decades. You can’t act all butt-hurt that we finally agree with you that we are enemies.

        Of course I want my enemies to die. You taught me this role and insist I play it. So, now I’m playing it. Stop crying about it and get off our planet.

          You have my axe. Conservatives have been waging a shadow American Civil War upon us. It is time to recognize that, and start throwing hands against these bastards.

          We didn’t start the fight, but we should be the only ones who get to live after it.
