Explosive devices sent to Bill/Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros, CNN

Tbh, I don't think this matters much politically, despite all the hot air. This might swing a few conservative moderates and undecideds, but Trump's base is Trump's base. They do not perceive the rhetorical environment the President has fostered, and don't understand the constant attacks on Trump from liberal media. So any political coin gained is useless to spend.

What about the rhetoric by the likes of Maxine Waters, Corey Booker, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and others? Sometimes explicitly calling for violence and in others implicitly calling for violence. How do you feel about liberal Mayors ordering police to stand down for political purposes, resulting in danger to many innocent lives? What about either condoning or ignoring violence when it happens?

All that is okay, right? The double standard of the left is sickening and removes their credibility. Frankly many on the left with these double standard are outright bad people.

But none of these people are the POTUS.
I would hope that the highest office in our country was held to a higher regard. I don't like Trump, but he is the president and I respect the office and consequently the man. Americans should have a role model in the POTUS, as he is the literal representation of our nation on a global stage. Is this behavior acceptable to you, sincerely?

And finally, if it's enough to criticize on the other side, why condone the behavior from your own?

The examples I gave were not taken out of context. The examples of Trump inciting violence are either exaggerated or taken out of context. I don't support Trump doing things like patting a congressmen on the back for body slamming a journalist, although I think it is a stretch that this was Trump encouraging violence.

Further, several of the examples I gave were current sitting elected officials, and one was the presidential nominee from the Democrat party. The standard held to these people should not be that much lower than the President.

Are you sure its not ok to punch a "nazi"?

No, I'm not gonna punch you, don't worry.

No, I am sure you won't. You would take a good look at me and turn tail

Where have we heard this saying "punch a nazi" before? It is almost like the left has been normalizing violence and otherizing anyone right of MAO for at least the past couple years or more.

Yes, you are missing the fact that anyone right of the extreme left, or just random people walking by, are regularly designated "nazis" , and this is used to justify their assault. This has been going on for a few years now, and not a peep from the left over it. Now that the left is also now starting to get "targeted" by extremists, now, NOW is the time to tone down the rhetoric... not before the years of regular violent attacks on conservatives and regular calls for violence ignored.

Thank you for the wonderful demonstration of how the left insists on jumping to the most extreme conclusion every time, simply because it suits them.

So to sum it up so you can't try to take this off into some other extremist interpretation that suits you...

The left has no grounds to point fingers and lay blame after years of laying silent over leftist violence against conservatives in the US.

@TEC, by a few years ago, did you mean two years ago, around the time Trump took office? This is around the time Antifa became openly active.

I would also disagree with conservatives being targeted generally. It's mainly Trump supporters, and those that are enabling this. Classic Republicanism is a noble idea, a necessary check on liberal policies that is supposed to balance out governance over the long term. But this brand of raw cultism is insane, and the general public is condemning this nonsense. Rather than a general push back against conservatism (because most folks are moderate on both sides), this is a direct response to Trump and the degradation of the office. We have a president speaking directly to white nationalism. We at least used to hide our shame, now we wear it like a firebrand of regressiveness.

Also, the recent wave of hate crimes is decidedly conservative. The majority of mass casualty events belong to conservative actors, at least in the recent few years.

Why are these actions more frequently occurring in aTrump presidency, more so than any other recent 4 years? It's the level of rhetoric coming from the head. It has incited everyone, and this generally more aggressive climate is the fruit of having an uncivil leader pander to his base.

Reaping and sowing and yada yada yada.

And a side note; Nazis are pretty much a universally condemned class. The ideology is so dangerous, it's fucking illegal in some places, literally.

How bad do you have to be fucking up in order to get your platform confused with that of a Nazi?

Trump could easily shed the anchor that racial nationalist provide to his platform. Only takes a few words, and it should be inconsequential given how small of a percentage of his base they are up  

But instead, there are "fine people on both sides"...

[Spendulus]

....We have a president speaking directly to white nationalism.....

Hmm, that does not explain why Trump's popularity among black voters has more than doubled...

Maybe you are simply wrong.

Funny how many left wing people including you believe in National Socialism...

Wait...wasn't NAZI...let's see...how did that translate....

Spend, I love you so I'm going to let you in on a secret. The overwhelming majority of black people do not support Trump. Dont let Rasmussen fool you. 1, contemporary support among Blacks for Republican politics is at an all time low. Dont think that the same set that overwhelming voted Obama into office twice, would only 2 years later have radically shifted to the opposite end of the political spectrum. Blacks will vote Democratic until the party shifts again, because the truth of the matter is most African Americans are economically disadvantaged relative the national cohort, and Democratic policies are helpful as fuck (a government safety net when you cant rely on generational wealth or a well heeled social network). Beyond the ignorant refrain to "leave the Democratic plantation" (you want to disenfranchise a potential black Republican voter? Say this shit LOL), all this malarkey about optimal employment is a bunch of jive. Yes, it's great that everyone is employed. But when the majority of the national cohort doesn't even have 1000 dollars in the event that an emergency arises, I'm thinking all that employment is not really translating to a level of income that provides happiness. Please see here:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/18/few-americans-have-enough-savings-to-cover-a-1000-emergency.html


Black folks dont own stocks like everyone else:
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=88110&page=1

35 percent  of Blacks compared to White peers, and that's for cats that make over 50k (which is not anyone who didn't finish college, so it's much worse for low income blacks). So all this market growth means shit.
And wage growth has not kept up with inflation.

So, from a Black person that runs in really, really diverse circles, trust me when I say there is not much love lost amongst the brothas for Dear Trump.

To prove me, please observe the recent Blexit campaign (yes, Black Exit) that Kanye and Candace Owen's have been cooking up.

Waste of time, imo. Our religious culture does not condone Trumps behavior (older Blacks, which typically ran conservative until Trump. Anti abortion is a huge deal for this set. But Trump, and his Cabinet specifically, this is too much). Younger blacks are not really into Rebuplican politics.

When you let Jeff Sessions head the DOJ, well, you lose the black vote.

I don't know anyone that favors Sessions. Of any persuasion. That includes religious right, my left oriented friends, lots of people in between.

Trump is the dude that really tries to do what he says, and he said some really serious things about improving conditions for blacks in America.

What does that amount to, when we've got many entire trades and industries taken over by illegal Mexican immigrants? I can't really answer that.

How would you act so as to increase average liquid cash reserves in the subgroup in question to 2000, or 3000?

Yes, Exactly. Now you are going to tell me that the words he used incited ANTIFA to violence therefore he is responsible, while ignoring hundreds of calls for violence on the left since then, as well as increasing, regular violence from the left. That damn Trump, upsetting people so much they get violent! You know its his fault they got so upset they punched an old lady. She was clearly a Nazi so it was ok.

None of your arguments invalidate the reality of all those listed leftist attacks though however, even IF they were correct (they aren't).

(i) bomb,

(iii) rocket having a propellant charge of more than four ounces,
(iv) missile having an explosive or incendiary charge of more than one-quarter ounce,

Also, counter-argument to "destructive device":

The term “destructive device” shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned, or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 4684(2), 4685, or 4686 of title 10; or any other device which the Attorney General finds is not likely to be used as a weapon, is an antique, or is a rifle which the owner intends to use solely for sporting, recreational or cultural purposes.
