is verticalizing digital communities one of the answers? so that people actually have stake in what they’re saying and who they’re saying it to? seems like twitter/fb inherently breeds this toxic discourse to me but that’s a majority position at this point

Its not binary, its possible to not wish the president dead, but also not feel bad for him either.

I'm not sure I'd equate what Dick C said with hoping a president who carelessly contracted a deadly disease dies from it. I do agree that we have a problem with discussing political violence, but that doesn't feel like the right equivalency to me. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/10/01/political-violence-424157 …

It's funny, Mike, because you're quick to say that implicitly joking about death shows a flaw in our culture when it's Trump's life on the line. Have you already forgotten about "it is what it is"? Was that not an implicit statement about death that contributed to our culture?

For what it is worth, I’m on the same page as you when it comes to the guillotine-ers and Dick’s comments. However, these sentiments about the rich have arguably always existed, they’ve just reached a crescendo due to long-standing governing and policy failures.
