These assassination remarks by celebrities are wrong and asinine but Trump and his acolytes need to do some serious self reflection to see why he engenders such enmity.

Is not a trait native to the conservative psyche...they're conservative because they know they're already right and everyone else is wrong. Why should they question their positions? The left is the one on the wrong side.

But you already knew that my friend. Hope you are well!

Ted "Shittypants" Nugent openly threatened to assassinate a president and a secretary of state and he gets a prominent placement at the SotU address and is invited to the white house by the firs Republican president after threatening those Democrats.

Depp and Griffith will be shunned by Democrats forever for their acts which were not as overt as Nugent's.
