Got it. So it would be a bad thing if someone with the loudest megaphone on the planet were to use terms like "enemy of the people", accuse people of "country threatening treason", suggest that that public figures were "evil" and "traitors" who pose a "greater threat to our country than Russia or China", repeatedly advocate for their execution, and publicly celebrate when a crazed individual acts on this rhetoric and attempts to violently attack the target of his ire. Agreed. We shouldn't condone that type of behavior, and it'd be better if we all could just "ton" it down.

I’m not sure why the comment seems to be so hostile. We seem to be agreeing. 🤷‍♂️

All good, man. There was no intention of hostility in the comment. I think it's probably just hard to convey the intended tone of open discussion while using some of those quotes.
