Come on man he literally said “political violence is never ever acceptable.”

Why can’t Trump come out and say “we should never ever use violence. We need to respect our Democratic brothers and sisters.” This shit goes both ways man

So he has to use your exact words? Why can’t maga call for unit like I said above?

I can understand how difficult it is to read what I am suggesting. And you all are right that really this is a responsibility of MAGA and Republican leadership. But in this void of leadership, the Democrats and anti Trump Republicans need to reach out in a new way.

In this way, when Charlie Kirk and that cadre tells their audience that the ‘left hates you for who you are,’ it is in direct opposition to clips circulating of a true sentiment: not everyone who votes Republican is terrible, we don’t see it that way at all, and in fact most voters are just trying to do what’s right by their family with the best information they have. We have to say we see that humanity.

Yes, I think Biden and our leadership should reach out to “Republican voters.” He should make clear that he sees them as Americans, many of whom he still considers friends.

This can still be done while opposing the worst ideas to come to American politics in 100 years.

It’s not difficult it’s nonsensical. They don’t care what dems say. They don’t listen to what dems say. They won’t hear what dems say.

In this country you have 2 messages: one from dems and one from maga. Those are the comparison where choices will be made. You keep focusing on dems because you absolutely know that republicans are going to raise the temperature and instead of putting blame where it’s suppose to go you are wordsmithing in hope that these exact words somehow change them.

Dem leaders, legislators, and media pundits can try and have been trying to lower the temperature, no one more than biden. They don’t call for violence whereas maga do. You can wordsmith all you want but they won’t hear it and don’t want to hear it.

This isn’t difficult. What you are asking has been said. It’s just not exactly the words you want said. If you are hoping for some perfect words to penetrate then we are already screwed.
