Having a callous disregard for the problems of other people only until it affects one of YOUR people is conservatism 101. Empathy is not valued in their world, unless it’s for one of their whitelisted types of humans.

Funny how quickly things turned to “no political violence is okay and joking about it makes you a terrorist” when only weeks before I was hearing and seeing “jokes” about certain politicians and death, assault (of varying kinds…), and all manner of “violent” things.
But suddenly after Ajent Ornj takes a bit of shrapnel, it’s “not okay”
And all the people who “hate Trump” who sit by day after day and say nothing about the other “jokes” because “we expect that from them” but jump in to lecture you about how you’re wrong… Well, are you hypocrites or just cowards? Why is it suddenly “not okay”?

I don’t see the issue with people letting the outgroup do stuff that they wouldn’t let the ingroup do. It makes sense that you punish or lecture the ingroup about the negative effects of a behavior and it makes sense to surrender on here to educate the outgroup.
The people who joked about violence but are now against it, those people are funny.

All sides are hypocrites when it comes to political violence. “Political violence is never acceptable” isn’t the guiding principle underpinning any president or legislator’s policy devisions. They only say it after political violence targets a member of their own class.
