Trump rally interviewer backpedals after man calls to "kill them all"

They actually tend not to vote when it actually comes down to it. Trump was actually a bit of an exception because he was viewed almost fanatically.
If students ever actually bothered, the left would probably win pretty much all of the time. And this is a problem in many countries, not just the United States.
The right will always prioritize the old population (aka direct their propaganda mostly at them) because they know, for whatever reason, younger people don't vote.
'Cause Captain 'Merica sure isnt.
Don't be so sure.
- Don’t be so sure.
  What do you mean, exactly? That Trump will be going to prison or face some other justice that he'll actually notice? Based on everything we've experienced so far, he's going to slide through this thing like a greased pig and twice as ugly.
So many replies telling people not to vote.

He added: "This is what many on the left will do, they'll take a clip of that and they will run with it and, all of a sudden, the statement that is that you want to 'kill everybody' or whatever. We all know that's not what you meant to get across."

Fuck these gaslighting pieces of shit

That's all the man said! He gave a list of people, and then said he wanted to kill them. It's not like he was giving a review of the Barbie movie and anecdotally said that sometimes he has dark thoughts. He said he wants to kill anyone who doesn't support Trump.
"How dare the left use things that the right says and does against them! Doesn't the left know that they are supposed to only say flattering things about the right as they sit and get bulldozed? The nerve of the left pointing out the things we are actually saying and doing!"
This is literally what that douchenozzle did on stage a few years ago. I'm forgetting who it was but he said "the only good Democrat is a dead one" and then immediately had to backpedal saying "I mean politically dead, you know they'll take that out of context."
Sorry fucko but the audience cheered like crazy to your bullshit BEFORE you backpedaled.
Off-topic but how would you quote text like this? I'm using Voyager
- how would you quote...
  > text
  Just put a ">" in front of the quote

And they wonder why we think they're lunatics.

Think? Most of them are lunatics and some even worse.
I don't think they're lunatics, I know they are. It's plainly observable.

Ask a democrat what they want and they say affordable healthcare, housing, education, social mobility, better work hours and wages; you know, better quality of life in general.

Ask a republican what they want and they'll say 'hurkdydurk I'm 'onna kill me some lib'rals durrr' like this guy. I literally think he may have drooled on himself while slurring that sentence out.

If someone tells you they want to kill you, believe them.

Since this kind of rhetoric always leads to violence, please stay safe out there, and don't be hesitant to report harassment.

He’s backpedaling but it seems pretty clear that he was in agreement at the time

“I agree with that” doesn’t get much more in agreement than that.
Mf actually said (hastily) “I agree”

- Just spins for me and doesn’t play video. Cool concept though, I hope it takes off.
Ah, the "globalists".
I need not watch past that, because now I know he's on the side of Captain Inbred.
- "Did I say Globalists? I meant Jews."
- You should, because it gets worse. Much, much worse.
RSBN host Brian Glenn then offered support to Alvarez and said the clip would be viewed out of context by those on the left.
Don't think he knows what that means.
- Viewed without the previous context of 2000 hours of Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Ben Shapiro, and Tucker Carlson.
He tried to say he didn't hear that because it was loud outside. All the people I can see are smiling but not talking. Blatant lie.
Sounds like the guy said, “Joe mall” and buddy was like, “uhhh k yeah I agree”
- Yeah because, as we all know, “I agree” is the only response to “Joe mall”
  gtfo honestly
- Hmm, I'm pretty sure it was "Let's go brandon"

If US society continues to devolve and these people actually attempt to make good on these threats, don’t expect the police to save you. Just saying.

Tom Morello got one thing wrong; it's now more like all of those that work forces.
- Why do you think the guitarist wrote the lyrics?
If that happens, it won't go down the way you or anyone else expects it to. Just saying.

These dang leftists just aren’t gonna understand the context of agreeing that some people should be murdered! It’s just what cancel culture breeds!

I can’t help but think if these people were brown or wore turbans they’d all be in jail by now.

s/backpedals/agrees wholeheartedly then backpedals later/

It's too early for Perl!
- That's sed's syntax, no?

Trump voters today, mass murderers tomorrow.

Tomorrow? What about all those mass shootings. These people have been encouraging each other in their various echo chambers to commit violence for over a decade now. Just look at the online cesspool known as 4chan.
- You don't need to look at a shitty image board, you can load up Fox News, One America, The Babylon Bee, shit you can just load up Twitter and get plugged right in to your very own right wing grifter telling you what to be mad about and who you want to kill.
  It's your very own Two Minutes Hate delivered by your choice of bland talking head.
It'll be regularly scheduled pogromming

Imagine being so indoctrinated with a political party that that's your stance. The party's meant to be your bitch, not the other way around

There are people who claim to be feminists on Twitter calling for genocide against men daily.
Sadly people fall prey to rather ridiculous ideologies including, it seems, this moron at the Trump rally.

He literally said that he agreed with the guy twice while being recorded.

Traitors

The Republican Party is truly turning into the party of the uneducated.

Uneducated, violent, and fascist

Our best hope is that republican voter suppression initiatives backfire because the average republican is a blithering idiot

Unfortunately these things are usually targeted, they know the demographics of the areas they choose to implement voter suppression tactics like what they did in Texas.
In other places too they can have 2 rules that seem innocent enough, but combined you see where it's going. Rule 1: no more than x number of ballot collection areas (some number too small to handle local capacity of ballots) Rule 2: ballots not counted by some time are illegitimate and/or allow the state government to step in and declare an "irregularity" which then plays off of New Law™ that states the state government gets to decide what happens to elections when an "irregularity" is discovered. These again are only implemented in places that have high Democrat enrollment or are majority black/POC neighborhoods.
They know what they're doing :(

Why am I not surprised that the person that was interviewed didn't seem to have any teeth...

Today wasn’t his turn with the family set of teeth.

These rallies have gotten out of control.

They just traded the white hoods for red hats.

Maybe Fox news public and Fentanyl addicts have more in common than I tought but for a moment was like watching a documentary about the opioid crysis.

How can anyone be on the side of the right and walk amongst those who, on average, more actively preach and wish for the deaths of people. Alvarez is serving up a BS pie. He may not have said it, but he can’t pretend he doesn’t know it’s a current sentiment in their stream. He uses Truth Social actively. They are the deluded ones.

It’s 2023. Stop being murderous, racist, and generally bigoted people. Let people and women make their own decisions. And quit efing overreaching, especially into families.

Let people and women make their own decisions
I know you likely didn't intend this and I agree with your post but women are generally considered to be people, too 😂
- Yes, thank you for not jumping at me for this, I was just trying to be more inclusive rather than exclusive that all people should be able to make their decisions, not just especially female bodied. Apologies at my awkwardness!! Glad it produced a healthy sense of humor. I more than agree that women are people too. 🤣
I'm not a right wing person, but I'm not a fan of the current neoliberal culture war people from the democrats either.
Speaking as an independent, people for unironically say the word bigot come off as unpalatable as people who unironically (actually ironically is probably worse) say the word snowflake. And really, you're saying effing? Say your curse worse and commit or don't bother.
The biggest weapon the objectively immoral on the right have is the subjective disgust they have with 'leftist' social rhetoric. Everyone is just reactionary and out country is in a mutually abusive relationship with a side of self harm

Such a coward. Own it.

He added: "This is what many on the left will do, they'll take a clip of that and they will run with it and, all of a sudden, the statement that is that you want to 'kill everybody' or whatever. We all know that's not what you meant to get across."

Fuck these gaslighting pieces of shit

Not defending that jackass at all and I could absolutely be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure he said jail em all, not kill. Still fascist either way.

I heard ‘jail’ too.
- Second one (first into the mic) sounds like it could be jail them all. Third (seconds into the mic) is absolutely “kill them all”. Doesn’t surprise me and it’s certainly not meant literally. I’ve distance myself from a lot of friends and family that are just like that guy. Everyone of them would say America would be a better place if they could kill all the “liberals”. Maybe I’m just numb because I don’t see the outrage beyond how normalized it’s becoming.

Does lemmy have sort by controversial?
