I agree that American politics uses inflammatory language a lot, and they need to tone it down. I agree with you that this can lead to violence - albeit indirectly in most cases - but let's not pretend this is limited to one side of the political aisle.
In June, a Democratic politician called Melissa Hortman, was killed.
I think a lot of people need to think about the tone in which they conduct politics and have disagreements, but the people most to blame for political violence in a democracy are those who resort to it.

Don't remember flags being flown at half mast for them but I do remember the vitriol and
jokes about Paul Pelosi but rather than use all these tragedies as reason to turn away from the extreme rhetoric they'll double down and ramp things up further and charlie kirk might even become the Horst Wessel of our times.
