What do you think is the appropriate punishment for rapists?

Under two meters tall? I didn't know they stacked 💩 that high! 😂

You've backed the wrong horse and have lost badly due to poor performance. But all is not lost. Advice is to join the conservative movement while you still can. There's plenty of room for guys like you, like at the end of the line scooping up our horse's dung 💩 - I see you have much experience in this area!

@PatKirby oh Patricia, I see you have two Y chromosomes? That obviously makes you better than everyone else and we should all take heed of what you say!
But what happens when an alpha male like you meets someone who is more alpha than you are? Do you become their girlfriend?

Two alarming new studies show the left is not only considerably less empathetic to people on the right than vice versa, but also frighteningly open to political assassination.

“Political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is ‘becoming increasingly normalized,’” writes The Federalist, in an article headlined “SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable.”

The article cites a study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) that, as summarized by The Federalist, says “political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is ‘becoming increasingly normalized.’”

The study, which also involves the Rutgers University Social Perception Lab, is titled “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”

As the Federalist notes, the study “finds a broader ‘assassination culture’ appears to be ‘emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.’”

Most alarming, the study finds that such homicidal sentiments aren’t contained to just the far-left wing of the Democrat Party – as evidenced by the 55% number who are open to and sometimes even applaud political violence, as well as Democrat leaders’ unwillingness to denounce it.

“These attitudes are not fringe – they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” the study says.

The study looked at “how viral social media narratives were legitimizing political violence, particularly in the aftermath of the United Healthcare CEO’s assassination” – though the embrace of murderous fury also follows one assassination attempt and a second plot against President Donald Trump last year.

In the wake of the assassination-style murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, NCRI says it found “widespread justification for lethal violence — including assassination — among younger, highly online, and ideologically left-aligned users.”

Yet, the report notes, Democrat lawmakers in California actually named a bill after Thompson’s alleged killer, calling it the “Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act.”

And they also believe that abortion at any term is justified.
They have no respect for life
MartinII · 70-79, M
@Midlifemale Moreover, they regard people who don't agree with them as devils
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
@MartinII very true...and they turn mean and nasty because they disagree with common sense laws and politics

I hear what you're saying... my own mother aborted me at 9 months and then I followed her home in separate cab. I never forgave her for that.

That was one of the other reasons they hated kirk is because they irrationally hate trump

Can you please supply a link to the Reuters web page with this study? thanks.

@joe438 I'm guessing because of the headline of this post, which refers to a "Reuters study". 🤔
joe438 · 61-69, M
@DrWatson fair- the headline does say that but the longer text says Rutgers. I suspect it was autocorrect which happens to me pretty often. If there was a study done by Reuters I didn’t find it.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@joe438 If you look at the posting times, you will see that I asked my question long before the OP's longer comment appeared. I think that clears this up.

@DogMan

This appears to be an ooinion piece interpreting academic research and other reports. I cannot see any connection with Reuters.

I hope you can access the recent article below which explains that the rhetoric of political.violence is highly charged and subjective. The vast majority of Americabs reject political violence - thank goodness - but partisans from either side have a trndency to over-estimate the propensity of their opponents for political violence.

Democrats in California actually named a health care bill "The Luigi Mangione health care access bill" after the
guy that murdered the UHC CEO.

More proof that Dems love criminals

@AbbeyRhode I believe so. How else can you explain their rabid behaviors and ceaseless anger?

@cherokeepatti Exactly, it's demonic.

@PatKirby they like to throw shade that actually belongs on them.. gaslighters
chumbawumba wrote this song as a dig at the right side of politics.
but the lyrics kinda resonate more today with the left..

We're told that after the war
The Nazis vanished without a trace

But battalions of fascists
Still dream of a master race

The history books they tell
Of their defeat at '45

But they all came out of the woodwork
On the day the Nazi died


They say the prisoner at Spandau
Was a symbol of defeat

Whilst Hess remained imprisoned
And the fascists, they were beat

So the promise of an Aryan world
Would never materialize

So why did they all come out of the woodwork
On the day the Nazi died

The world is riddled with maggots
The maggots are getting fat

They're making a tasty meal of all
The bosses and bureaucrats

They're taking over the boardrooms
And they're fat and full of pride

And they all came out of the woodwork
On the day the Nazi died


So if you meet with these historians
I'll tell you what to say

Tell them that the Nazis
Never really went away

They're out there burning houses down
And peddling racist lies

And we'll never rest again
Until every Nazi dies
