Last month, Donald Trump, his campaign and his supporters were whining to anyone who would listen about how President Joe Biden’s and VP Kamala Harris’ incendiary anti-Trump “rhetoric” has inspired not one, but two would-be assassins to take shots at him. Specifically, Trump and his minions have complained about him being labeled a “threat to democracy” just because — oh, I don’t know — he inspired a domestic terrorist attack at the U.S. Capitol while votes were being certified by spreading baseless propaganda about election fraud costing him the 2020 election despite the DOJ, the attorney general, dozens of judges, virtually every election official, and his own campaign telling him there was no evidence of it. (The audacity of people putting Trump’s life in danger by citing observable facts, I tell ya’.)
Fast forward a few short weeks later, and the ex-president who is suddenly pretending to oppose dangerous inflammatory language is at a rally threatening to “hurt” any and all supporters of Harris who might be in attendance.
Is he threatening us? https://t.co/sPLD4rILZ8

“Is there anybody here that’s going to vote for lying Kamala?” Trump asked during a rally in Wisconsin. “Please raise your hand.”
“Please raise your hand,” he said again. “Actually, I should say, don’t raise your hand. It would be very dangerous.”
“We don’t want to see anybody get hurt,” he added. “Please don’t raise your hand.”
So, basically, Trump has an issue with violent, inflammatory rhetoric except when he’s causing bomb threats and hate crimes against Haitians, telling his supporters to “fight like hell” just before they started a riot, advocating for a “civil war” or a “bloodbath” should he lose the election, fantasizing about punching anti-Trump protesters in the face while lamenting that we don’t still live in a time where they would be “carried out on stretchers,” fueling his supporters’ hatred for migrants by consistently dehumanizing them, and, now, suggesting that voters for Harris will be “hurt” not long after complaining about being called a threat to democracy.
Of course, Trump’s glaring hypocrisy was not lost on Harris supporters.
Remember when we were lectured about violent rhetoric? Last week? https://t.co/T6Ny85h0v6

Once again, he’s threatening those who don’t vote for him. Persecution, oppression, and imprisonment, it’s how dictators deal with their opposition.

Some noted that Black Trump supporters also aren’t safe at Trump rallies in reference to a viral video that showed a Black man in full Trump regalia being jumped by two white men who were also wearing Trump gear at a recent rally in Michigan.
If they’ll do this to their own supporters, you can only imagine what he’s threatening here https://t.co/lgPOMunHC7 pic.twitter.com/tpfalTl5Lw

Trump proves over and over again that he’s not against political violence. Warning Harris supporters that they might get “hurt” just for being Harris supporters is only the latest incident.
