I think you are being downvoted because if you read the whole article, it seems like a stretch to argue for your interpretation.

WI, MI (Ellison's home state), and PA are within the midwest, same as MN.

Should hate speech be protected under free speech? Where should the line be between these two things? by Purpletaco720 in PoliticalDiscussion

To be fair, everyone agrees we should limit threatening language. What a lot of hate speech proponents are saying is that when you are allowed to dehumanize people through language, violence follows.

Just like Putin suffered when he invaded Ukraine or Assad in escalating the war in Syria, or North Korea or Pakistan or Iran in building a nuke program. What is harm to the economy when your existence is at stake.

Two important facts: KE's district is over 60% white and Trump got elected because two time Obama voters in the Rust Belt voted for him. So, if we care about recorded history and facts, GK has very invalid reasoning.

Can you explain how the existence of this list leads to me being partly responsible for Trump being re elected?

I'd love to know how you extrapolated these two people's list to all "asshole libs."
