Former president Donald Trump disseminated on social media on Friday an image of President Biden with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season.

The image can be seen about halfway through a 20-second video that Trump posted on his Truth Social site. The post says it was recorded Thursday on Long Island, where Trump traveled this week to attend a wake for a recently killed police officer.

In the video, two trucks decorated with giant Trump flags and altered American flags are driving on a highway. On the tailgate door of one of the trucks is the image of Biden lying horizontally, bound and gagged.

Trump has a history of sharing and promoting violent images featuring his perceived enemies.

but I will forgo any of my liberal socialist ideals

In support of him or against him?

if Biden wants to do whatever it takes to get votes from republicans.

Ok, monkey’s paw granted… he does a peace negotiation with Russia on Ukraine and then promptly declares a 2nd war, now on Mexico, Fentanyl, China, Venezuela, and Cuba, because why not?

I swear, y’all dems practice democratic centralism, don’t ye? Freedom of thought, unity in action…

if he declared war with them (which a president is technically unable to do)

This would be a worthwhile comment in 1950. Today, it just looks like you are clinging to what your high school civics class taught you like it has any bearing on the world.

I don’t know why you’ve thrown fentanyl in there. Doesn’t everyone want to declare war on that?

Idk, I mean it’s something every republican detests… even if they know how the first war on drugs’s consequences… (yk, fentanyl actually has broader medical use, specifically as a legal anesthetic and palliative care, so be wary when fishing the waters with it)

Otherwise, do republicans want war with these countries so much that they’d vote for Biden if he declared war with them (which a president is technically unable to do)?

Yaasss, btw, I guess you haven’t heard of hyperbole…

To add upon this, I’ve heard congress is the only power that can declare war… and, I mean, considering Republican mindset… you can easily get a bi-partisan approval for declaring war on one of those countries

Note: I guess you see me as a bad-faith arguer?

Nobody with more than a handful of braincells thinks any drug war is a good idea, what the fuck is wrong with you

I am a one-issue voter, is the thing: I will not vote for a genocidal CRACKER. If the other genocidal CRACKERS that comprise this nation continue failing to find whatever morals they claimed to espouse all those years they were teaching me about the Holocaust, then they deserve whatever happens to them afterwards. These are not my peers, my countrymen, nor anyone I consider worth saving. You deserve to watch the erosion of all your ancestors’ ill-gotten gains.

Just complete gibberish, socialism’s goal is the abolishment of capitalist property relations and worker ownership of the means of production

Liberalism in 99% of its political and theoretical formulations absolutely does not want those things, you’re the definition of an opportunist and utopian idealist, further proved by the fact you’re willing to sacrifice this make-believe ideology of yours in the hope of courting fascists

That’s literally just regular liberalism but ‘there should be some co-ops!’ I.e., it’s just liberalism.

If things don’t turn around for him, he might have to lower himself to try to get votes from non-Republicans.
