8. So progs who get upset when Cons make cartoons about hunting Pelosi are "so out of line"?

They are "only cartoons" and the Cons swear up and down they are "not advocating for violence".

Yet progs and Democrats get upset/annoyed by such "joking" and rightly so.

But you say it should apply the other way.

If someone wants behaviour from the other side, they need to set an example.

Then where is the line? Some references to polical violence okay but other such references not? Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2022 #18

Context! And reading comprehension and understanding and common sense. hlthe2b Oct 2022 #22

You are one with BOTH-siderism. I say NO SIDE acceptable for casual references to political violence Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2022 #20

Apparently you don't know what "both-siderism" means either. Maybe google next time hlthe2b Oct 2022 #23

Clearly you think my no-siderism is the same as both-siderism. Take your own advice. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2022 #27

Strawman. I make NO equation btwn real political violence & casual reference to political violence Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2022 #26
