He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

You may want to re-evaluate your outrage. The left and right are both guilty of using dehumanizing language against their opposition. This is far from “Straight up Nazi talk”. I look forward to your rational and well thought out replies.

Which one of these people were president, the de facto leader of a major us political party, and had the ability to change the path of the nation?

Both sides doesn't hold a thimble of water when you compare the fucking former president with random Twitter posters.

You're getting buried for saying it out loud, but it's a fair point.

No, some random person I've never heard of carries anything like the weight of a former President and current candidate.

Yes, liberals are A-OK with this talk as long as it's coming from their team.

Me? At this point I'm "gloves off" with these fucking conservatives. No more goddamned "high road" for me. I'll be happy to punch below the belt.

We American's are in the fight of our lives and liberals don't realize it's a fight, and they're losing.

Pearls firmly clutched: "Whatever shall we do about these encroaching fascists?"

Honey, the fascists aren't coming. They're already here. You can board the train or fight back. Pick one.

While I disagree with some of your points I respect your opinion and appreciate your reply. I think language is an important thing in our society, and we must choose our words carefully, now more than ever. I think any call to violence regardless of the political leanings of the speaker is the wrong choice. I agree that a former presidents words will reach more ears, however those words and actions should be weighed equally for all. Thank you for replying!
