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.
Yeah, focus on things that helps third parties in general, such as:
And so on. Basically don’t push anything too controversial, and focus on things that the major parties so poorly and that most third parties and independents would agree on. That would show voters that having more choices is valuable.
I see three possibilities with this strategy:
The Libertarian Party should transition to an advocacy organization instead of trying to get people elected. Basically, “policies before politics,” which should improve the perception of the average person of the LP.
I think it is essentially a advocacy organization, I do wonder if they could get a lot more influence if it were possible to get someone onto the debate stage so that everyone could see their opinions.
Yeah, but that’s not happening until the rules of the debates change or voting reform to eliminate the spoiler effect happens.
