🤣 Hey, remember how Trump separated immigrant children from their mothers, some of whom we lost record of and have no idea if they've been reunited? Remember the physical abuse of immigrants he internally promoted? Remember his pandering to the Klan and neo-nazis and adjacent white nationalist organizations? Remember all the covid deaths he caused with his validating and spreading of lies? His insurrection attempt? Divulging of military strategic information? Don't you think that tips the scales a little bit? All it took was a little bit of pushback to get you to flip on your "never joke about violence" stance. I've never done any of those things. You should re-evaluate your priorities. Unless this is really the hill you want to "die" (😱) on.
A lil pushback? Flip? No, I've always been anti-violence. Killing people only results in more graves. War doesn't solve anything. Sometimes you need to stand up in defense, and that's different, but starting the violence is never a good thing
Getting on a high horse over hyperbole is silly, but that's what you doubled down on doing, then you used the exact same kind of hyperbole yourself because you were mad. That's the definition of flipping. (And irony.)
You can stop grandstanding now, no-one cared before, except for the bit where you stuck your foot in your mouth, maybe.
