Two Minnesota state lawmakers who are members of the Democratic-Farm-Labor Party were shot early Saturday by a person posing as a law enforcement officer just north of Minneapolis.

Just to refresh memories, the assassination attempts on Trump were done by people with right wing backgrounds.
I just got back from a peaceful “No Kings” protest in Illinois, and aright wing chud waving a Trump flag swerved his oversized SUV right onto the shoulder in front of some protesters. This is not a both sides problem.
I never said it was a both sides problem. I said that violence isn’t the solution, and that republicans are hoping for a violent uprising. Because they outnumber you and are trained better than you. Even if all the armchair warriors here on Lemmy joined together, you still wouldn’t have the numbers.
Think about it: If people couldn’t even be bothered enough to do something easy like rise up and vote, you think they are suddenly gonna join in on a violent mob uprising against the government?
This violence is the answer mindset is exactly what this shooter had. You happy with that outcome?
I can do that to. I never said that you said it was a both sides problem. You just presented it that way and made no effort to avoid that interpretation.
They outnumber me personally? Sure, I’m just one guy. Outnumber the left? LOL, not a chance. Better trained? I kinda doubt it. They might be better at some things, but those chuds can’t plan their way out of a wet paper bag.
Gosh, I wonder why that is. Just imagine what would be coming from the right of it were two Republican Senators. Whatever you are imagining, I’m pretty sure you know it would be passionate. Meanwhile Democrats are giving the same old bloodless speeches that sound like they were worked on by a dozen consultants before being handed to a talking head with instructions to “add pause and a couple of tears here”. Then they hand it off to a newscaster who laments about how “polarized” politics has become. Democrats have no passion, and that is why they lose.
“Now, I know they are killing us now, but we really should stop to consider if leftists might be a little violent too”. Yep, that’s exactly why Democrats consistently fail to inspire anyone.
Um, no? Why on earth would you assume I think that?
Oh, you’ve met him? When did I say violence is the answer?
