We are being told to "tone down" the rhetoric in politics by the press, and by politicians, mainly Democrats.
There is a purpose in this, and that is to "equate" the rhetoric as being the same on both sides. That is clearly not the case.
There is plenty of evidence that Trump is spreading hateful rhetoric and is suggesting violence to achieve his goal of power. In e-mails to supporters, Trump used language like he needed to be elected or there would be "total annihilation" of the country.
Another e-mail talked of "striking fear" into the hearts of our "deep state enemies." Now, I also think the intelligence services have too much power, but Trump labels anyone who disagrees with him as being "deep state."
The man Trump put in charge of the State Department in his administration, Pompeo, was a former CIA director. Trump does not seem to mind the "deep state" when they agree with him. Even more dangerous.
In another writing, Trump said "The Final Battle" begins in seven days. After I except the presidential nomination next week, the liberation of America truly begins."
