Violent rhetoric in politics amplified by Republican leaders

Okay, let’s talk about it. So there is rhetoric, political rhetoric in this country that has created a cause and effect relationship between the words and the actions of people. The unfortunate attempted assassination against former President Donald Trump gives you a measure of what this rhetoric has led to. And let’s be clear, there are those both on the left and right, who attempt to politicize the issue. The reality is this kind of language, where violence is acceptable in political norms, has been going on for a few years now in the modern context. And let’s be clear, again, the vast majority of this violence in politics rhetoric, has been echoed and amplified by some of the top leadership in the Republican ranks. While many on the left, while they play they, their own brand of politics would typically call out such conversation, for example, when you have lawmakers going on national news, claiming that there’s going to be a civil war. And then pundants Republican conservative pundits saying that no matter what they’re going to take back their country, and there won’t be bloodshed if you allow it. You see things like this continue to stoke the polarization that you see in front of you. The radicalization of individuals has to be animated from somewhere. It doesn’t come out of thin air, we understand what radicalization is. Let me give another example. Marjorie Taylor Greene amid the Republican National Committee, a woman who has not mixed her words as it relates to potential violence in the United States of America due to a political belief. She was posed the question, do you think you have said things that were too intense? Basically, have you gone too far? Congresswoman, as she said, Yeah, of course. That was her direct response. Yeah, of course. So she admits she has been part of the problem, a catalyst inside of this chaotic design. Now, I do agree with President Biden, the temperature needs to come down here. We should be able to disagree agreeably. We are a nation of ideas, not a nation of one idea. We’re a nation of multiple people, backgrounds, culture and religion, not a nation of one religion. So the next time you subscribe to any political ideology, where violence is a norm, I want you to think about where you are in American history and politics, where you want your children to be and grandchildren to be because if we lose our democracy, there is no future election, where you can choose
