Taking out ads like the one mentioned in the article is not "threatening officials."  Nothing to discuss.  (I agree that actual threats are not discussion-worthy).

I'm sure taking out full-page ads demonizing a health care official wouldn't incite any of the sketchier parts of the "COVID = hoax" folks to take things further.  It's something to think about on both sides, although IMHO it's mostly one side who brags about being armed, has actually been arrested for plots to kidnap & execute policy makers, and continues to spread flagrant lies guaranteed to divide our country & promote violence.

And it's "mostly one side" who publicly shames and/or goes after your livelihood if you disagree with "the way you're supposed to think."  I condemn all kinds of brownshirt tactics . . . do you?

Such complete and utter crap.  You mean public shaming like taking out full page ads on public health officials?  Or when Trump took out a full page ad on innocent minorities and to this day has not admitted he did anything wrong?  I could also roll tons of cancel culture clips from the right.  (Wonder how the Rock feels about MAGA cancel culture after he had the audacity to endorse Biden.)   I think "the way you're supposed to think" means "not be idiots who think conspiracy theories and lies are equivalent to real evidence and data".

Like how you think either of those two are like armed sedition and active undermining of our democracy through disinformation.  I made the mistake of actually hitting the "show post" but from now on I'll keep you on ignore.  Have a nice life.

Pretty damn amusing for a conservative to talk about brownshirts while the Republican president and party are supporting an undemocratic coup at this very moment, no matter how farcical it is (the original Nazis were farcical too). But sure, "cancel culture" is the problem!

Time to stick with the ignores, although for some reason quoted ignores get through.  Let's talk COVID-19 and try to avoid politics (as much as we can) lest the fascism apologists inject their two cents.  I think I'm undergoing some mental issues nowadays because of extreme rage at people in this country.  I've already cut out a number of social media outlets because it's so aggravating to read the crap from the other side (which at one point was my party), and it's hard to even keep up with COVID-19 news because politics gets intertwined with necessary policies.  Beginning to think the only way to remain sane for the next 3 months is to unplug entirely.
