Remember kids, the party who says that:

- dems are grooming children

- dems are pedophiles

- dems are literal communists

- dems murder babies

- dems want to replace whites with immigrants

- dems steal elections

- dems want to confiscate all of your guns

- Mike Pence should hang

- Kyle Rittenhaus did nothing wrong

would really like dems to tone down their rhetoric about Trump being a proto fascist who tried a coup and failed and might try again in the future because some 20-year-old incel whose motivations are still yet unknown tried to kill him.

And as to Jeremiah's points in Part 2, those violent movements were put down with violence, not with "let's all tone this rhetoric down guys" liberalism. It took the practitioners of liberalism going violent themselves to put the fascists down. That's an important footnote.

Anyone who tries to equivocate, tsk-tsk Democrats about "heated rhetoric", or gaslight people into "both sides do it equally badly" should simply be reminded of this: Trump is naming his VP this afternoon. The reason Mike Pence isn't saddling up for his second VP rodeo is because at the end of the last one he did the right thing and they literally built a gallows to hang him for it.
