“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.

    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."

    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

    Spez is too much of a useful tool for them to throw away.

  • I don't think he is useful (in either sense of the word). The whole format of Reddit sort of lends itself to long-form discussion and people disagreeing with their masters about things, and I think they will want to get rid of that whatever he tries to do to make it "compliant."

    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.
