OK, you can start another thread and we can talk about FBI. But the topic here is about condemning using violence when it doesn't go your way because that hurts democracy, so the plot to kidnap a governor fits that description, whether it is "manipulated" or not. Do you agree with me that this kind of "using violence as a response to when things don't go your way" happens with the extreme right too, and not just limited to "liberals", as we've seen in Jan 6th?
For example, let's say John thinks that any woman who rejects him is evil, as all women basically are. So he thinks the he should teach them a lesson by raping them and forcing them to submission. He shares the thought with his buddy. His buddy loves stirring the pot, so he "manipulates" and "encourages" John. At the last minute though, his biddy realizes John is serious and will likely go ahead and do irreversible harm, so he reports John to law enforcement. John is arrested, but since he hasn't yet done anything to any women, his charges were later dropped.
Now, do you think that John's idea of forcing women into submission as dangerous, whether he actually carries out or not, whether his buddy encourages him or not? Will you condemn John's idea? Can you see what his buddy does is irrelevant?
