@jeff he did incite violence on multiple occasions and told the proud boys to “stand back and stand by”. My English is not native but in my ears that sounds like “and act if you are called to act”
of course he doesn’t say: “dear supporters i need you to kick my enemies now”, he has to do it a bit more subtle. But if you choose your eyes to any message that is not directly explicit, then i wonder how you navigate the world.
@illionas@jeff people were assaulting his supporters prior to this. he actually had a guy straight up rush his stage to attack him at a different rally.
@illionas@jeff honestly I don't care anyway because the same people bitching about trump doing this laugh when antifa attack people and say that speech has consequences. he's dumb and shouldn't have ever said what he said though yeah
@illionas@jeff incidentally I went to a trump rally in arizona and a trump supporter did attack a protester. the protesters were wearing kkk hoods and the trump supporter was black. right after he punched one of them in the face, the other girl quickly pulled her hood off and disappeared in the crowd abandoning her friend.
@jeff@Moon violence doesn’t necessarily mean murdering. But if you’ve watched that video where he talks about the ~”second amendment guys taking care of something” that gets very scary in my opinion.
