I just dont think that morality and politics are the same thing. I can judge a joke for its morality without it being skewed by political bias.
I think that when a former president makes jokes about nancy pelosi’s husband being attacked with a hammer, and people are laughing it up and joining in, that when someone attacks donald trump, and someone makes a joke about it, those same people should be either joining in on the joke or apologising for making their jokes in the first place.
They can’t have it both ways.
This is not a political stance because i could argue that from any side of the street. It is a moral argument that happens to be about politicians.
Replace the two subjects with anyone else, and the argument would be the same.
The thing is that i despise donald trump so much that his jokes just added to how much i dislike him. But its exactly what i expected of him and didnt lead me to despise him. No his actions as a president and as a human over the course of his career and life have lead me to that.
Kyle gas has only ever inspired me to like him. He has been a nice guy and very funny his whole career. So im inclined to think that he didnt actually wish death on the former president. Whereas if tump made the same joke i would be very inclined to think that he meant it, because he has given me very little proof to the contrary.
My view on morality is what’s skewing my opinion here, not my political bias.
