A politician in a democracy who mounts even extremely robust criticism of an opponent is not morally responsible for the actions of an extremist who attempts violence. The person morally responsible for violence is the person who carries out violence.
But Democrats, including Harris, routinely tell the most appalling, extremist lies about Trump. This is doubly weird because there’s more than ample in Trump’s actual words and actions that thoroughly deserve criticism. Mostly, Trump is a brash, crude, often offensive and even chaotic politician. He’s not the author of American fascism, the new Hitler, the leader of anti-democratic storm troopers. The dishonest extremism of much of the criticism of Trump contributes at least as much, perhaps more, to the toxic nature of American political and cultural debate as does Trump himself. Sheridan
The Reagan, Bush, Frazer, Howard, Abbott Derangements has nothing on the colossal Trump Derangement. It is a medieval psychosis, the modern day version of witch hunting and burning mentality.
