Please point me to something Obama said that could be interpreted as inciting deadly vigilante violence.

I’ll wait.

Comparing the current president with their predecessor in charge does not seem unreasonable.

I'd rather the systems of thought control be built on logic and values, some greater purpose, rather than some line drawn in the sand based on some American partisan signal. But I guess this whole thing will forever be political.

I don't think that was a political line. It was a line between this president and all past presidents regardless of political party.

The logic/value in this case is, speak clearly and own your words. For example, if many people think you implied a subset of the population should be shot, you may have misspoken and should clarify it, not get mad at them, dismiss them, or even worse, double down.
