(6,535 posts)but I am not a public figure, and nobody actually cares what I have to say...in my opinion, nobody has been nearly harsh enough in their language with regard to these fucking fascist scum.
And in case it's not clear from the context, no, I am not advocating for physical violence...I don't think anyone meant, in the phrase "when they go low..." that the filthy rethug scum are actually trying to kick us in the crotch. It's a metaphor. We cannot continue to let the lying shitbags of the world frame every argument, and dictate the terms of every discussion. When they lie, they should be exposed as liars.

(17,331 posts)due to Trump and his reckless rhetoric, it would be wise to avoid advocating "kicking" one's opponents, whether literal or figurative.

(89,276 posts)it's still nothing compared to trump pretty much cheering on and calling for his fucked up supporters to go kill jewish people and others he hates.

(17,331 posts)"But it is a troubling time, isnt it?" said Clinton. "And its a time of deep divisions, and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together. We also have to elect candidates who will try to do the same."
That quote came after she said civility can begin again when Democrats win back the House and/or Senate.
By the way, here's a picture of civility. We must lead by example, as he did.
