Trump Rally Gunman Was ‘Definitely Liberal,’ Conservatives Recall
Nothing people love more than feeding their own narrative. The guy was clearly mentally unstable and in dire need of therapy. He could have been a communist or an ancap for all I care. This attack doesn’t reflect on anything other than the sad state of mental healthcare in this country.
edit: I guess being pro mental healthcare is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy.
Yes, somehow when a conservative murders (or tries to murder) someone, they’re just a mentally ill lone wolf and this in no way reflects on their ideology, which coincidentally somehow manages to keep producing vastly more of these mentally ill lone wolves compared to others.
It’s almost like encouraging people to believe the nonsense you want them to believe enables them to believe any nonsense.
Lemmy has a real problem listening to what people say and instead injecting their own narrative, and this is a great example. Where in my post am I defending conservatism or making any kind of statement as to “which side” produces more crazies? Fact is the has been the only assassination attempt in many years, despite an insanely vitriolic political environment. That goes to show even the crazies are not coming out en masse to start shooting at politicians.
I mean there was hammer guy, we can probably count him too but even so it’s pretty clear these are mentally unstable individuals, not the average conservative as Lemmy would love you to believe.
All conservatives are mentally unstable they are fearful reactionaries as proven by multiple studies.
Sorry I forgot I was on Lemmy. I should have just joined the blind rage. All conservatives are inherently evil and need to be destroyed. Can I have some of my points back now?
