Politicians, we need to find a better way then career politicians.

So you're ok with someone posting about driving his truck through crowds of ordinary people, then? We all should just sit back and do nothing? You're starting to sound like Whell. His Dear Leader uses Twitter for public shaming every day.

Two wrongs don't make it right.
Other than trying to put words in my mouth, I don't understand your questions. If you want to tread around the slippery slope I was referencing go ahead, it's your right.

So you're saying that fighting fascism is somehow a "slippery slope"? That's like equating protestors against nazis with the nazis, like Trump did, and has never successfully backed away from. Sorry, but your argument doesn't hold up here. We simply can't look the other way.

Pointing an accusing finger at someone and yelling racist, which you've done on this forum, is indeed the provence of policing thoughts.
