Will Gianforte's win encourage future acts of violence by Republican candidates?

[EnglishPete]

Republicans don't need encouragement to be violent

Given all the violence from left wing 'protestors' over the past year or so in the US that's rich. We've had all kinds of people condoning and excusing violence against Trump supporters and other people of the right (e.g. all the 'punch a nazi' memes, excusing protester violence at Trump rallies in Chicago, San Jose etc, excusing violence outside Milo and other speeches on College campuses etc).

Now when a left wing blogger gets in someone face, gets shoved back and then starts whining with a pre planned exaggerated assault narrative ("you body slammed me, you bloke my glasses" spoken loudly into the audio recorder) designed to let him play the victim, all the other lefties start whining.

I could make the same argument about the left, looking at the violence in Berkely.

Notice you had to say "the left" rather than the Democrats, because you're talking about one band of anti-fascists that's outside the party vs. a major component of the Republican base and punditocracy.

And yet when Dems are asked to disavow these violent protests they usually wriggle around the question or go silent when they're not actually making excuses.

Isn't that exactly how your cult's leader reacted to David Duke endorsing him?

Trump repeatedly disavowed David Duke's support.

By contrast here's an example of Bernie Sanders refusing to disavow violent supporters

That's just one example but its all to typical of Dem politician's response to violence from their supporters.

[EnglishPete]

Because Wheaton isn't just a campus that happens to have a conservative majority, it defines itself as a religious college.  I don't think Berkeley defines itself as a left-wing political institution.

most colleges define themselves as places of learning and seeking truth, and thus shouldn't have to suffer anti-learning, anti-truth views like those of milo etc

You're all for cheering on political violence when its directed against people on the right by people on the left (Berkeley, Chicago, San Jose etc). If its alleged to have gone in the opposite direction however you're full of hypocritical fake outrage.

[EnglishPete]

Not once have I supported any type of political violence.

That's good. I'm not criticising you. I am however criticising all those sanctimonious hypocrites here getting on their high horse about an unproven and likely exaggerated accusation of assault whilst having a history of cheering on and defending/excusing left wing mob violence.

[EnglishPete]

Again, yell for me when my side throws a molotov cocktail into one of your offices. Or when non Trump supporters get egged, punched, and bloodied on their way into a rally for their own candidate.

[EnglishPete]

I love how the left expects us not defend our own political views. I love how we're always wrong and must always agree and if not, we're "deflecting" or "rationalizing" or "condoning" violence, all the while as they themselves continue to perpetrate such acts. And when you bring it up, the same stuff happens again.

We aren't dealing with rational people here.

Donald Trump is indefensible.

So crack my skull, amirite?!?

Name one Democratic party operative or leader advocating for that. Better still comma name one Democratic presidential candidate who has advocated violence against his ideological opponents such as you.

I give you one better than that. Here's paid Democratic Party operatives working for candidate Hillary Clinton talking about their role in organising the violence in Chicago against Trump and his supporters

well, could you make a calm, reasoned (without relyïng on emotional appeals) argument as to why not?

Could I just note the extreme irony of you, of all people, making such a request.

i'm taking the treatment we trans people and other minorities constantly have to deal with and forwarding it to a shtty cishet white guy

I had no idea you were a "trans people and other minorities". I was referring to you being a ranting ultraleftist fanatic.
