This guy looks and acts like a complete monster. I hope these brave whistleblowers stay safe, and prevent him from getting this insane position.

    I understand the instinct for non-violence, especially when the system is working as intended, but nothing about our current system is stopping any abuse of power by anyone with power. The vast majority of the population does not agree with any of these political elites anymore, so it’s not really about sides, the side doing all this is inordinately represented by their abuses of the system, and bombastic and offensive nature of their most zealous, they are not actually equal. These particular people have also been advocating violence for their compatriots for decades if not longer, so reasonable people across the spectrum are way behind the curve as far as their willingness to speak this way about violence as a last resort. It’s normal at this point for conservatives to be heard calling very directly for killing progressives, particularly when only zealous conservatives can hear them
