      Idk why you’re being downvoted. Here’s the definition of lynch:

      (of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.

        A riot, or a mob. A lynch mob is a specific thing. As you can guess by the name, it’s a mob set on lynching (or just generally killing) someone, or several someones. It is not a term for any old agitated mob. The Jan 6th rioters would qualify as a lynch mob since they had a noose, gallows, and were chanting “hang Mike Pence”.

                No, I don’t buy that anymore. No matter how left your are, If you even so much as disagrees with one little thing, you get called a Trump supporter or a fascist, etc. Everyone’s an extremist now and you can’t have a dissenting opinion or wrong think or you get called a heathen essentially. The right has been behaving like this for decades, but seeing the left doing too now means we’re fucked. Nobody is good enough, nobody is a “true Scotsman”, so it’s just a bunch of college age liberals in a circle calling each other Maga cause they can’t agree
