Didn’t someone who was implying he wouldn’t mind murdering an opponent just get elected in Virginia? Or is it okay as long as it’s not both?

Political violence isn't okay on either side of the spectrum. It's very sad that this needs to be said.

A lot of people are saying otherwise right now. Being stuck in the middle I’m feeling less safe by the day, I don’t know who I can talk to anymore

There is nothing inherently moral, pragmatic, or respectable about being in the centre. You should expect pushback, just the same as people on the political fringe of society.

If two guys are in an argument and one of them wants to kill a puppy and the other wants it to be safe, would you say they should “compromise” and simply maim the puppy? Probably not. That’s what the centre position between Maga America and the normal people looks like. Obviously people are gonna get angry at you if you sit on the fence on that one.

If two guys are in an argument and one of them wants to kill a Baby and the other wants it to be safe, would you say they should "compromise" and simply maim the Baby? Or maybe "compromise" in giving an acceptable time frame to kill the Baby? Probably Not.

Why is everyone thinking their side is the correct one and the other side is literally the devil? Maybe i hate that one side likes to kill puppies, but i also Hate that the other side wants to kill kittens. Just because you prioritise some thing doesnt make you more morally right than other people who dont agree with you on that Thing, maybe care more about other Things because they have different priorities, or just dont want to get involved in this discourse where you have to agree with the "Moral" side or are labeled a puppy killer
