    Ummm, that’s not the question you’re hoping it is.

    They chanted “lock her up!” at rallies.

    The people who still support this man (and it’s a lot of people) would turn against anyone who answered with a no.

        The people being asked the question will not answer in good faith. They are blood thirsty, they are angry, and they want a scapegoat, not a civics lesson.

          If those peo0le who are running for president are blood thirsty, we should probably know about it before voting starts.

            DeSantis was a lawyer for Gitmo; Trump wanted to execute five innocent black men before he had any political ambitions; Vivek fully embraces the caste system that benefited his family in the past, and has pretty openly suggested he wants to use violence to implement it here. We know the people who are running for president are blood thirsty, they don’t hide that in any way. They chose to run on a conservative platform, violence is inherent to the ideology, and on top of that frequently advertise how well they would play the role of violence if elected.

              Those 5 black men he wanted executed were between 14 and 16 years old.

              He wanted to execute five black and Hispanic children. That’s what he wanted to do. Paid from his own pocket to advertise it too.

              I’m not correcting you because I disagree, I just wanted to drive that point home.

              Your comment is 100% on point aside from that little error.

              I agree with all of this, but unfortunately none of it is framed this way in the media.

              The mass media kinda has a “Jews for Hitler” vibe going about it right now, because a lot of Trump’s “political enemies” are journalists. They should stop pussyfooting around that fact and stop covering this as a horse race because if he wins he’s gonna run his horse right over them first with the rest of us not too far behind.

            You can listen to to to them talk at any recorded rally they have. There are interviews with these people. Websites. PACs. Years of history. Television debates are not the only way to know thier thoughts. None of these people appeared out of thin air.
