Let’s run down the list of the shooter’s known traits and see how this fits the GOP agenda:
- White
- Male
- Suburban
- Privileged upbringing
- Gun enthusiast
- Registered Republican
YUP! Sure sounds like a CRT-lovin’ Democrat operative to me! Can’t wait to hear how these fascist psychos try to spin the web of Deep State bullshit into this one.
NEWSFLASH: There’s only one side of this political climate that has been advocating violence from Day 1, dipshits, and it sure as fuck isn’t coming from the Democrats.
Sounds like a lone wolf, nothing can be done about such a thing
As an aside: how can you be a lone wolf, yet have two wolves inside you? 🤔
brain washing half the country with your sick violent rhetoric.”
Greene in 2021 appeared in a campaign video holding a 50-caliber rifle and promising to “blow away the Democrats’ socialist agenda.” She then fired the rifle at a Toyota Prius with a “socialism” sign on its side. Footage showed the vehicle exploding with the words, “Target destroyed” displayed on screen. The video promoted a giveaway of the rifle “for Americans only.”
When was the last time a Democrat appeared in a political ad with a firearm? More of the right’s projection and gaslighting.
I don’t see political ads - do the ones Biden’s running say things like “Trump must be stopped at all costs?” I just worry that the dems will take the bait and turn down their messaging while the right keep the flames burning.
Looks like it’s the consequences of their own actions circling around again. Time to blame liberals/trans/minorities/foreigners/anybody else!
Anything But The Guns.
Well it’s obvious the gun wasn’t what shot Mr. Trump.
It was Critical Race Theory.
“How dare you be so insensitive to our pain!”
To Trump, the Paul Pelosi assault was the cause for yet another one-off joke, which should have landed with a chorus of boos at the California GOP convention. Nope. A laugh riot.
“Everyone except us!” -gop
The party of personal responsibility can never seem to accept responsibility for anything
Well, the god of the Bible is a malevolent narcissist, and they do strive to be godly.
It’s actually kinda funny watching them flail around blaming nothing and everything because one of their own tried to shoot Trump. They were NOT prepared to deal with this situation at all.
What additional evidence do you need? He was asked directly by the state what party he considers himself a supporter of, and he said Republican.
Conservatives are going to try to disown him no matter what. Don’t let their endless bad faith requests for additional proof convince you that the facts here aren’t straightforward.
No no no. Voter party affiliation on voter registration doesn’t mean anything on its own. People change their registered parties all the time to vote in the other party’s primaries and such. Also sometimes people forget to switch back.
For kids, their party affiliation is going to be whatever their parents are (lest they be disowned by their family). For kids, their political views can and do change radically from 18 to 25.
Party affiliation on voter registration means nothing in the case of the shooter.
We may never be able to put him on so narrow a box, but he was registered, a gun nut, and he didn’t donate to Dems - that was just someone with the same name in the same state.
That’s not confirmation, but thus far there isn’t any reason to believe otherwise.
But also he was 20. It’s likely he didn’t have a strong personal affiliation with any political party.
Not in any way that will convince someone who doesn’t want to believe it, but for reasonable folks…
Smith shared an American history class with Crooks, and remembered a mock debate where their teacher made students stand on one side of the classroom or another to signal their allegiance. “The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other.”
This was years ago. Kids change really quickly as they grow up. Ask me how I know. I used to be a kid in high school who was spouting my parents’ bullshit conservative christian views. After high school I started thinking for myself and left all that toxic garbage behind.
