If the United States can elect a purveyor of violent incitement like Trump why can't Iraq elect Moqtada al-Sadr? It's not optimal. But who is America to judge, really? Even ignoring the whole invasion thing.

al-Sadr doesn’t just incite, interfering with his objectives, at times, has resulted in horrific violence on a grand scale. Trump just makes you seethe. Big difference.
Admittedly thus far Trump has just incited smaller terrorist attacks in multiple countries (only giving him partial credit for Charlottesville). But he's just getting started.

Agree, any political violence here at home should be immediately condemned, or it allows ppl to imagine there’s tacit support. al-Sadr is different though, violence is a tool and always within his calculus if he feels inciting it is warranted. We don’t live in that environment.
-
We don't? Then why won't Trump condemn those who conduct violence in support of him? Again, i think you need to read up on this Trump fellow.
-
No, we don’t. You can freely criticize him here, within reason, and no one will knock your door down and make you disappear for it.
-
You've moved your goalposts. It WAS whether someone uses violence as a tool. Of COURSE Trump does. To suggest he doesn't is naive at best.
-
Again, maybe rather than lecturing me you should study up on this Trump fella.
