this email was like ‘we cannot replace democracy with violence’ and I was like damn I thought u were gonna talk about police violence or perpetuation of a genocide or something thats actually “the normalization of violence by those in positions of power”

#they used the trump assassination as an example and im ???#i dont see how thats normalization of violence by someone in a position of power ?#absolutely all of the people in positions of power took a very PR stance of ‘violence is unacceptable’#honestly im gonna say i wont ever believe violence against politicians is an attack on democracy #until they stop allowing violence to be enacted on average people at large 🤷🏼‍♀️#seems to me that the bigger attack on democracy is allowing policies that actively hurt yours and other countries’ citizens #especially when theyre constantly begging you not to do that #you are not solving problems through peaceful democratic means #when you send weapons to an apartheid state. thats like literally the opposite of peaceful and democratic #i would like to see politicians responsible for increasing police and military funding held accountable for their glorification of violence #like have you considered some people are happy when violence is committed against someone in power #bc that person is using their power to committ violence against those people or people they care about ? anyway #jordan talks
