Calling for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.

Im pretty sure any "mean" thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as "mean." It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.

Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)

Just gonna leave here that Trump is directly responsible for a million of excess COVID deaths. But he was president so that was completely fine, right?

Nice strawman. Where anyone in this coment thread say anything about him or anything he has done being "fine"?

Is it necessary that every single comment must explicitly denounce Trump, for fear of an accusation of being insufficiently anti-Trump? Nah, fuck that. That would make you fascist as him.

He didn't call for it. He wished for it. Big difference. One involves other people, one involves candles, shooting stars, and genies.
