Not being on Twitter I wasn't aware this stuff was so prevalent, I basically get my Trump context from this thread, so in that sense it's useful for you to raise it. While it's sickening I don't think hatred towards a specific individual is really comparable to hatred towards broad groups of people. Neither is good, obvs..
The last image I'm pretty sure is a visual response to the "Head of Clinton as Medusa held aloft by Trump as Perseus" image that emerged pre election.

Wise choice. Stay away, it's a cesspit.
A single forum thread where much of the users appear to be against the guy is probably a bad place for gaining the whole picture. Sure, there are a million reasons to think the guy's an awful person, and absolutely a bad leader - which I think he is - but some balance is needed and I rarely tend to see the left's often questionable and extreme actions discussed and held to account in establishment media, or even here, as much as I do the right's. That is a good point you make when put into that context, but the moment one side resorts to the sorts of things they denigrate their opponent for, on anyone, they lose the moral high ground.
Also a good point, you reminded me of that image. Though, to be fair, the Medusa/Perseus mock-up didn't have Hillary's head covered in 'blood'...

This and the whole timing of it is horrendous. For balance, however, in pop culture and mainstream media, Trump has been 'shot', crosshairs have been depicted over his head on front pages, 'verified' Twitter folks, along with many, many average-Joe Twitter users, make remarks about his assassination on a regular basis, an effigy of his severed head has been held...
They kinda incite violence and violence is what anti-Trump folks profess to be against.
Has anyone here linked to these occurrences? Furthermore, has anyone here condemned these occurrences? Genuine question.
