This is exactly the sort of mind reading and motive attributing that we don't need.

The US has the death penalty. How do you know the GP isn't advocating for them to be tried and sentenced for actions carrying that penalty, such as murder or treason?

The comment is indeed flagged right now, so this intended essentially a private reply: this is just depressing. We literally just saw a clear-as-day incident of political violence in this country, and it was inspired by rhetoric just like the above: general, abstract, yet absolutist remarks that paint the commenter's (and your) enemy as worthy of death for reasons that aren't ever quite elucidated but seem extremely important nonetheless.

We need to stop that. We need to stop it everywhere. Trying to excuse it is just buying into the frame that your enemies are existential threats and not just your neighbors.

Please stop.
