A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.
The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.
Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.
Especially since we’d effectively have to ban Republicans which would seem to be going a fascist route. As ironic as that is…
The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox when all context is removed.
“Banning a political party” completely and utterly forgets the, “… that uses more and more stochastic terrorism and acts more and more like evil groups from history that committed great atrocities” part.
Exactly. Unfortunately I don’t think most people would understand that and see banning one of two political parties are extreme overreach.
Not only would they not understand. The opposition will purposefully spread misinformation and try to confuse people. Add that people are fallible and all it takes is one shady Democrat and the whole thing backfires.
