He's coming right out and saying it. What more do people need? You'll be safe if you're a white, cishet, Christian man. Anyone else who helps this guy into office could be potentially signing their own death warrant and he's coming right out and admitting it. Promoting it.

Upvoting because this is just an opinion. Dems know they can beat him again. It's too early to blitz. A calmer approach next August - November will inform the folks in the political middle and it won't fire up Trump's base as much. When children get upset you calmly tell them the consequences; you don't jump up and down, cry and yell back at them.

Actually most parents do exactly that and then use violence, and that's much more effective for them than calmly telling a kid who refuses to stop, to stop.

I get the point you're making. Your analogy is just very flawed.

Violence is more effective for kids?

Requesting source on that one. Here's what I found: https://www.developmentalscience.com/blog/2022/2/10/hitting-children-leads-to-trauma-not-better-behavior

No, it's more effective and convenient for parents, as it gets them the submission they want and the kid is the only one that paid the price for it.

Which is why the analogy is flawed. It absolutely does work... for the perpetrator.
