    To any lurking liberals, I assure you that literally everyone here would celebrate if anyone threw Trump in a pit and tossed in a grenade. You on the other hand would be horrified and liberal media would instantly tell you to consider this a terrible thing. You would go along with this, like you go along with literally everything liberal media tells you.

    We oppose him significantly more than you do. The difference here is that we’d also celebrate if that happened to 99% of the genociding war criminals that thoroughly deserve it in the party you advocated for too.

    Someone link to this in that thread or something I don’t know.

        Rachel Maddow wagged her finger at us after spending years making money by comparing trump to hitler.

        Like if you really thought trump was hitler and you thought hitler was bad, wouldn’t you be happy if he got sick and/or died? When trump made covid disastrously words with his response?

        Not if you’re a lib apparently.

        It’s extra funny cuz I regularly see liberals yearning for the death of regular republican voters. I’ve seen r/neolib poster fantasize about “culling the redneck population of middle America” in a civil war.

        So, you’re down to slaughter ground level Trump supporters but the idea of their dear leader choking to death upsets you? That’d be like if I jerked it to the idea of running over a regular Wehrmacht soldier with a T34 (which I do actually) but was AGAST at the idea of someone sniping Hitler.

        Do any lurker Libs wanna explain this weird double standard to me?

          I think it just gets too personal for them. A million is a statistic.

          Or maybe it’s a different set of rules diluted from or diluted into what we see in media today. The villain gets a chance at redemption while the faceless mooks just fall down and dispose of themselves.

          But with a single figure like trump, it’s personal connection and the chance to be the bigger person. Just prove him wrong and you can change the world without a big disruption of the status quo.

          Can’t have one of your betters die off, just put more faceless people into the meat grinder.
