It's Not 'Incitement' to Call Trump a Threat to Democracy. It's The Truth.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

25% : You can disagree that Trump is the threat his critics say he is.
19% : For those who need a quick refresher, over the past four years Trump has claimed the election was stolen from him through massive fraud.
19% : Trump tried in a number of ways to overturn a democratic election extra-judiciously.
17% : If it were true, few would criticize Trump for complaining about it.
15% : "If Donald Trump is held responsible for Jan. 6 because of his allegations that the 2020 election was stolen, is it unfair, after two assassination attempts, to hold responsible the Democrats who have ceaselessly claimed Trump is a threat to democracy?"
9% : In many ways, the foiled plot appears similar to the attempt on Trump's life from earlier this summer, in which a disturbed teenage gunman who police say had searched for the location of President Joe Biden ended up targeting Trump when he came to his home state of Pennsylvania.
5% : By comparing the blame Democrats place upon Trump for his supporters' attack on the Capitol on January 6 with the blame Republicans place on Democrats for the attacks on Trump, Hume seeks to make the case that both are a consequence of rhetoric.
4% : Boosters of Trump have claimed, comically, that this is the result of violent rhetoric from Democrats, including those who say Trump is a threat to democracy (totally ignoring Trump's long history of violent and incendiary rhetoric and the fact that he himself says anyone who criticizes him, from Biden to the New York Times, is a threat to democracy).
