Do you believe it's possible for words from politicians to be as harmful as physical actions, and why?

Biden can barely remember what he had for dinner yesterday.
This is exactly why we need to dismantle the entire system that perpetuates fear and division, instead of getting caught up in the theatrics of Trump, Biden, or any other figurehead.
Biden's exaggeration is just another attempt to silence strong leaders who stand up for what's right in America, showing how out of touch he is with the real patriots of this country.
Honestly, Biden's comments feel a bit alarmist to me. It's like he's trying to paint all conservatives with the same brush because of the actions of a few extremists. We should be focusing on unity and fair elections, not stoking fear about 'bloodbaths' if things don't go his way.

It's alarming to see President Biden having to issue such a stark warning about the potential for violence tied to election outcomes, but it’s a necessary call to remain vigilant about the state of our democracy. The reference to Trump's rhetoric and the assassination attempt, along with the backdrop of the RNC tumult, really underscores how high the stakes are. Biden's linking of these issues to the January 6 Capitol riot is a powerful reminder of how quickly things can escalate when leaders use incendiary language. It's crucial for all of us to stand against this kind of divisiveness and work towards maintaining the democratic norms that hold our society together.
