Not to mention that insisting that someone vote for your candidate or else is almost by definition anti-democratic.

This is representing the interests of a business to the electorate, in order to get their concerns addressed. Since the electorate is the appropriate governmental body in charge of selecting a new President, this is precisely industry lobbying.
Er, what lead you to believe that was a thing?! Who, precisely, did you think was paying all those Washington (and Brussels, and so on) lobbyists?
A video clip shows another suspect, Brandon Caserta, standing in front of an anarchist flag saying Trump is a "tyrant.”
The right wing media seems to want to associate the actions with the Left or BLM, which seems like a reach. But I don’t see how someone calling Trump a tyrant can possibly be associated with Trump himself.
"I’ll just point out that the plot to kidnap the governor had more ties to the anarchist left than to Trump."
and your source does not back that up, and now you are saying "seems like a reach" about the subject of your own statement.
- Anarchism is traditionally associated with the left (broadly, that is, not the Democratic (big D) left) and one of the members called Trump a tyrant with an anarchist flag in the background.
Trump can't simultaneously be an anarchist and a tyrant. That makes no sense.
I also remind you that I merely said "there is more evidence" than "it is directly connected."
Boogaloo movement more likely, experts say
Cooter, who recently dug into this issue on Twitter, told us she’s seen "zero evidence that (the suspects) are antifa."
She speculated that some people are conflating anarchy and antifa to try to divert attention away from the suspects’ militia connections.
Imagine a far left group did the same thing and also called Obama a tyrant. Is Obama responsible for them? I don't think so.
The comment I replied to is suggesting Trump is a theocratic authoritarian. We had this same rhetoric four years ago. It's clearly absurd.
I don't like Trump, didn't vote for him, and won't be voting for him, but this constant over-reactive nonsense is really unhelpful. Biden is a weak candidate, perhaps the weakest in decades. Everyone that doesn't vote for him isn't some kind of right wing lunatic fringe figure intent on destroying democracy.
