Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction

“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s--- is out of control.”

“I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”

So you'd rather we just ignore them, play nice, and then act all shocked when they start to kill people?

"I'm going to kill them before they kill me" is probably not the most ethical way to solve your problems.

You are using ethics as a valid argument about people who tried overthrowing our democracy, are threatening to kill innocent people and are actively pushing for a fascist regime taking over our country. Sure, let's just sit around, mock them, underestimate them and meme them, that'll surely stop them.

While I agree with you, I would also argue that you're not dealing with ethical people. Ethics only works if it's reciprocal.

No you idiot. What the fuck is so hard about understanding being as bad as your enemy? I didn't invent the concept.

The personal insult diminishes the weight of your argument. I encourage you to reconsider your debate strategies.

I say this as someone who disagrees with your position. I strongly believe that the correct way to cure a deadly infestation of conservatism is with violence, based on what has and has not worked historically. Never in history have conservative oppressors been defeated by pacifism.

We didn't ask to be put in this position, but here we are. We must choose to either defend our existence or allow the enemy to continue to slip the noose around our necks.

It is a badge of honor for a psychopath like you to disagree with me.

Again with the insults. I think it makes your position look weaker than it could be.

I think violence makes itself look weak

I understand you are opposed to violence. In most circumstances, I am as well. My opinion on the use of violence changes, however, when it will be used against my loved ones.

Seeing the violent threat that conservatives pose against the normal people, and seeing how it has played out over and over again throughout history, it is obvious to me that the threat is deadly real and must be stopped. Force is, unfortunately, the only way conservative oppressors have ever been stopped.

Violence is a last resort. I don't see how you can be sure of any opinion like this unless you can know the future. Knowing history doesn't mean you know the future.

I think our best method of understanding our current position is to understand our history. If history is our guide, attempting to respond with violence after conservatives have secured supreme power will be ineffective without outside help.

There is no one coming to save us. We must save ourselves. We will only be able to do that by acting before conservatives achieve their win-condition.
