(3,948 posts)Not sure what you disagree with.
Do you think it is possible to be a Trump supporter and not know that it means the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat and much, much worse. Do you think it is possible to be a Trump supporter and not be at least tacitly supporting those sentiments?
Do you doubt that cruelty and the bullying is what MAGA is, it is the attraction for people?
Your statement, that not all Trump voters say "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" may literally be true. They don't need to. It is as built in feature of MAGA. So, you win this round of the Internet follies, I guess.
Most white supremacists don't say they hate African American people. Most homophobic bigots don't say they hate gay people. Most misogynists don't say they hate women.
So it seems that your "too be fair, they all don't say that" has broad application. But for you, the problem is that the worst of them tend to get the attention and the mic.
I would say that the worst of them are the ones that support racism, homophobia and misogyny silently. Is that what you mean when you say I am taking the Republican rather than the Democratic approach to these issues?
