It’s impossible — impossible! — for anyone to change their political leanings without first changing their voter registration.

“Yes your honor, I did tell my followers that the world would be a better place if someone had killed Hitler, and sure I said Trump is just like Hitler, but it’s not my fault if someone independently came to the conclusion that the world would be a better place if someone killed Trump.”
Yeah yeah, I know, it’s a plausibly deniable way to say “someone should kill him” without saying it outright.
Additionally, it’s disingenuous to say allegory statements to the behaviors of a person is inciting violence. Calling someone Hitler, describing them as “like Hitler” etc are not credible calls to violence. They aren’t even inherently violent in so far as they suggest nothing as to what to do with that information
