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.

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.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I’m not lecturing, this is Twitter.
-
Fine. Then retract this tweet lecturing me about what I should do. *Especially* since you've proven unaware of how Trump wields violence himself.https://twitter.com/MasterGuns8654/status/995838623751852032 …

A compromise—l’ll look into Trump more closely, and you study up on al-Sadr. Talk soon.
-
I have not exhibited ignorance about Sadr. You, on the other hand, are apologizing for Trump's violence. So, no deal.
-
Hmm. You’ll have to show me where I did that.
-
The two first tweets of this thread among others. Or perhaps you weren't apologizing as much as betraying ignorance. I'm agnostic which it is. Again, fix the stuff you can affect here before lecturing Iraqis.
-
Anyway, this has been pleasant. I'm headed to bed. I repeat again: you'd do far more for this world trying to fix the violence Trump incites here than lecturing Iraqis.

Your interpretation of Trump inciting violence and the cases where al-Sadr planned for and implemented violent acts are mutually exclusive. And you know it.
-
Ahem. PLEASE do NOT tell [lecture] me what my interpretation is. You got it wrong and ignored what I said. You are an abject apologist for Trump violence and part of the problem. Again, maybe study up on this Trump fella before lecturing others.
-
So in that case, you’re an al-Sadr apologist? Let’s see who listened. Where have I supported political violence?
-
I specifically said it was not good he was going to win. Please stop projecting. Trump is a problem. Deal with the problem you can affect, before lecturing me or Iraqis.
