Some of the rhetoric here after the attempted assassination on Trump was really terrible.
I've been a big left winger for years but I still think wishing death on others who are politically opposed to you is absolutely awful. These are people who who claim to be on the moral high ground but who are apparently quite unaware of how hypocritical they sound.
Can you imagine what these same people would be saying had the assassination been made on Biden instead of Trump?
Sometimes it's quite apparent how little there is that seperates us from the animals.
