It's a general attitude and anger problem that is on display in DC since January.

You know, calling for violence, disruption, resistance, fighting in the streets, etc.
That still isn’t really an indicator that the video was assembled by folks working in the building.

I don’t particularly condone the lack of civility, but many Republicans/Republican sympathizing types complaining about it, strike me as the sorr who want to dish it out and then get their panties in a bunch when I asked to take it.

I don't recall any Republican politicians calling for violence against SCOTUS justices or condoning burning down cites, for a couple of examples.

Do you?

How about a SCOTUS justice and R politicians being chased out of restaurants?

That's DC.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

this is so cute, it's funny...this lady is unhinged. US would invade and destroy Canada before they allowed it to join an adversarial nuclear armed military alliance- Canada would be a parking lot under any US administration before that happened. does this moron know not who she speaks of?

Hmmmm.

A Montana pol assaulted a journalist, Trump said "He's my guy."

He told his supporters to knock the crap out of hecklers and said he'd foot their legal bills. 

He told a violent group to "stand back and stand by"

That whole kerfuffle of overwhelming police and busting into the capital looking for congresspeople happened. 

Tom Cotton suggested throwing protesters off bridges. 

NC Gubernatorial candidate said "some folks need killing"

In response to the idea of hanging Obama and Killary Marjorie Taylor Greene “Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.” 

Now, this is all bit beside the initial point. As far as I saw, the lady just said fuck Elon, which is not nice, but not about violence and such.

Partisans gonna partisanate.

Most folks I see posting on FB are pretty partisan liberals and they think I'm a hard core conservative.  In A51, I'm considered a hard core liberal.  I'm OK with all of that.

Humans are very tribal obviously, it's just a lot easier to be part of Tribe R or Tribe D than to sit and ponder each issue individually.

There even is a Tribe "I", folks who claim to be nonpartisan and independent thinkers, but usually aren't.  Being a nonconformist is just a conformist who conforms to being non, in their mind.

He told a violent group to "stand back and stand by"

See, it's lines like this that make me distrust everything else said which I might not already know about.  If I don't know about something and don't have an opinion, I can't readily accept someone else's take when something I do know about is so off base.

you can actually read the leaked chats....they are fucking disturbing to say the least....all on work time and US gov't servers. LOL @ NYT. Imagine trying to carry water for that....yikes. 

Honest question if you were caught having chats at work during work hours on company servers talking about piss fetishes and gangbangs what do you think would happen to you? JFC.
