Hmm. So Biden can renounce violence but it doesn’t count as a red ideologue with a habit of lying and slander says so?

And not everybody has renounced violence.

Trump has not. He is attempting to divide in part by violence and fear.

The military has not, at least publicly. I suspect they have quietly. They are not involved in violence against Americans anymore, but they properly don’t want it said that they have disobeyed the illegal orders from their Commander in Chief. Understandable.

If the secret police have renounced violence, they have done so secretly. They too have vanished, but I suspect the problem is that they have no police powers and the Democratic governors have quashed the violence for them. I am not giving the secret police a lot of credit.

The Trump supporters last I knew had not publicly renounced violence. Their pickup truck convoy of a few days back with paint ball guns and real guns was clearly a premeditated attempt at instigating and escalating violence. Getting one of their people killed doing this may have caused them to reconsider the wisdom of it, but they don’t exactly have a spokesman.

And the Boogaloo Bois will boogaloo.

But in short the general position of the blues is to renounce violence while there are several aspects of the red that are trying to induce and escalate it. It’s nice that you have come over to the blue perspective on this, but all reds haven’t.

And yes, everybody who commits crimes ought to be arrested, tried and jailed. The only possible exception is that the sitting president may consider himself above the law.

The border is not the people who will throw the first punch. These ought to be arrested, tried and jailed. The border is those that are eager to return the second punch, or those that will see a knife and shoot the wielder. In theory the founding fathers enabled vigilante justice. All men could carry arms and were enabled to enforce the law as they see it. I can sympathize with this in many ways, but those who go into harms way with intent not to start violence but instead finish it are a problem. I would rather they stay home, even if it means protestors exercising their right to protest are left undefended against red violent instigators.
