Violent acts against innocent people will always be a worse offense than saying something offensive. I had it explained to me once that the farther left someone is on social and political issues, the less likely they are to disassociate verbal and physical abuse. So someone who is super far left could have the same emotional or even physical reaction from getting punched in the face as they would from, say, encountering a peaceful protest put on by the Westboro Church. The opposite is also true, people who are farther right tend to be more capable of controlling their emotions and are more likely to disassociate verbal and physical abuse. It might be complete bullshit, you know. But taken with a grain of salt, it might explain why it's more likely for protests at Trump rallies to become violent than the opposite.

And not directed at you @daegor, but you guys who are still riding the Democracy train to no end sure do talk a lot of shit and name-call for people who need "safe spaces". "Lol, but like, I know exactly how well people's quality of life is in other countries even though I've never even seen the ocean and can't define what a 'corporation' is. [insert comparison of modern day USA to a failed empire that existed centuries ago here]. Lol, downvote!" Words? Not so much, but you're totally right. And really I think that if Trump managed to say something so offensive that another country was willing to take action he'd probably just be impeached and removed in order to avoid the situation. Actually bombing a place? A little more difficult to backtrack from, for sure. Thank you for excluding me from that, Rambo, I happened to have lived just off the ocean most of my life Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have really been racking my brain at what would drive mass protestors at a Republican rally but you never see/hear about protestors at a Sanders/Obama/Clinton rally, even though you know that the right is just as upset with their policies. I think the self control aspect comes into play like you mentioned. Just very interesting. Also, glad to see 3 sided arguments on here. I know VC is predominantly left, so it was nice to see around page 19 when some actual debate started to occur from all sides.

stl_ben Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yes it has happened, was just funny. Of course liberals aren't the only one throwing punches. Heck Trump was offering to pay court fees if his supports punched protesters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
