“We’ll be announcing,” Trump added. “They’re already under major investigation. A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left [are] already under investigation.”

And yet again, the assassin is a CIS, White, Mormon, Maga Family Male.

    I’ve seen too many people take it for granted that the suspect not being a leftist means we’re out of the woods. Facts have no bearing on who MAGA will blame. They still act like the attempts on Trump’s life are the left’s fault too, even after it was confirmed both would-be assassins were on the right.

    There’s nothing we can do to make facts penetrate the MAGA bubble. All we can do is use the facts to keep more people from getting captured by the MAGA bubble.

      They have always wanted everyone who disagrees with them dead. This is just one of many excuses they may use for it. We’re not out of the woods until/unless they’re out of power.

      UT Gov Spencer Cox talking about how he was “radicalized by Reddit and dark dark places on the internet” and then concluding that he’s a “leftist.”

      lol no.

        Meanwhile, Reddit: How many subs can we ban for not moderating for Kirk hard enough?

        Spez: No no guys I’m one of the good ones, remember? We made a little safe space for The_Donald for a while and we just got rid of a bunch of Charlie Kirk stuff, we’re doing what you wanted

        Spez: No no seriously guys I’m one of you, I’m on your side

        Spez: Jesus Christ stop it that hurts, stop it, you can’t, you can’t

      Yeah, that’s what we have on r/conservative and my local community forums right now.

      They don’t let facts get in the way of the outrage.

        If facts and critical thinking stopped fascism world war 1 would still be called “the last great war” instead…

        Hell, even if just appeasing fascists worked, there wouldn’t have been a world war 2.

        But the only way to stop fascism is violence. In a good government, the government does it.

        In a fascist government…

        It’s usually another country’s military who steps it. And that’s a worse result for everyone involved.

            Of course, in a country where everyone is just stealing whatever they can and no one dares tell President Pedophile anything he doesn’t want to hear, the U.S. military will be on par with the Russian military soon.

      Can confirm. My MAGA relative did not get the memo that the shooter was on the right. Just like they didn’t get the memo about all the other shooters in the past year and some change. They were and are all radical left lunatics. That’s what Fox News and Facebook is spoon-feeding them.

        I’d say so, too, but they were good at it. As Carlin mentioned, think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half of them are stupider than that! I’m beginning to wonder where I fall, especially as things get on in life.
