Garry Kasparov finds Trump’s ‘Second Amendment people’ remarks all too familiar

Putin's followers often "joke" about opposition leaders being killed. Posters with crosshairs, etc. Then they are murdered and it's no joke. Trump joking about someone shooting Hillary is sick & dangerous. It's how unbalanced people are inspired to murder. It trivializes violence.

When a Putin regime critic or opposition member is murdered, Westerners say "Putin wouldn't do that! It makes him look bad!" As if he cares. It's not about giving the order to murder. Creating the culture of violence, hatred, & impunity is enough. Killing without consequences.

It's not about giving the order to murder. Creating the culture of violence, hatred, & impunity is enough. Killing without consequences. That is why you cannot take these things lightly at all. The normalization of violent rhetoric inevitably leads to violence.

There's very much a Putin-esque ultra-nationalist tendency in Trump supporters. It's no wonder why so many of them support Putin himself.

And I bet money that there is a Russian connection with Trump's investments, which is why he can't release his tax returns. The Clinton campaign is hinting at it. It's going to blow up in his tiny hands.
