I don't understand what you're talking about.But, yes, looks like likes and retweets are a problem when you politicize these things. You end up with embarrassing trails like in the video.
Let's be clear, though: Trump DID encourage violence against opposition. The sides are not "equal."
I disagree, I think the left all but comes out and encourages violence. They don't have to say "Kill Trump! Attack him!'(though you did have that democrat lawmaker call for his assassination) They just label him a nazi and fascist and say he's gonna destroy the country and sit back and let the far left extremists do the work. Like mailing him poison. And then they label anyone who supports him racist and sexist and xenophobic, and then we see people attacked just for wearing a hat.
So I don't think one side is better than the other here. Labeling people literal nazis and fascists over and over and over is only gonna lead to one thing. And look at how his Charlottesville comments are treated. Yes he was clumsy when he said the "both sides" thing, but he also clearly called out nazis in his statement too. This is ignored, and they focus on this other comment to suggest he legit feels murderous nazis are good people.
Call it however you like, neither side has a moral high ground here. The white supremacists get focused on heavily, someone trying to kill Trump via poison barely was covered. THAT is the difference. The white supremacists are on the outside looking in. You can't say the same for the extremists on the left. You won't see Dayton get as much coverage as El Paso, and we both know why. And we both know some will try to excuse that with "there is a higher body count".
