Very possibly, considering the activities that have been going on. But you go to the most ambiguous one. Auntie Maxie was clearly advocating such behavior, don't you think?
I don't know. Probably not. If these people really wanted to make their case concerning leftist mobs, they would have presented everything in a clear context and made specific claims about who was inciting mobs and how. Instead they went with "scary montage."
People say forceful things when giving speeches, even if they are running for governor or something innocuous like that: "We have to fight!" or "We have had enough!" "It's time to take back what's ours!"... all kinds of things. Unless proper context is supplied, or specific claims of inciting mobs are made and backed up with evidence, I'm not going to take any of it seriously.

Accept we know he didn't mean that if one actually watches the full context

It's a political ad, not a debate on PBS.

There doesn't seem to be any conflict here, that I see.
Quote:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(slang)
Snowflake as a slang term involves the derogatory usage of the word snowflake to refer to a person. Its meaning may include a person perceived by others to have an inflated sense of uniqueness or an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or to be over-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions. Common usages include the terms special snowflake
Snowflakes are known for throwing a tantrum, when they don't get their way (much like a child). There is nothing preventing this from becoming a mob of people.

I see that instead of trumpeting all the "wins" of the Dumbfuck admin, beta eunuch is trolling anybody who's not a neo-nazi.
Shows how far the US right has fallen that they are now defending the honour of a serial and current failure.

Then maybe you should gave gone with a pic in your OP of the left being violent instead of just yelling.

Wow, your pearls must be under enormous stress....
And in America we call peaceful protests...wait for it...peaceful protests. Not tantrums. That's the kind of thing people say when they wish other people would let you have your way in peace.
There is nothing preventing you from becoming a mass murderer, but I'll due you the courtesy of not jumping the gun.

Are you thinking (saying) that is common thing? That you can’t have a mob, unless this oddly specific thing happens?
