The Minnesota political assassinations were less than 3 months ago.

These fuckers are just freaked out that the people they encourage their followers to shoot may be starting to shoot back.

    We didn't know who shot Kirk. The last few attempts on Republicans were also conducted by Republicans.

    Maga was spreading the news that the shooter was a liberal within minutes. The vast majority will believe that they're under attack by liberals despite any news or facts to the contrary. Anything else will be viewed as another conspiracy.

    Reality is not a place where Maga and Fox News live.

    The shooter could be a live long Republican with the parents, spouse, and kids all being Republicans. They could have the dog trained to attack minorities and they could be someone that was very publicly vocal about every and all Republican talking points.

    But they'd find a single photo where they are wearing a blue shirt and say they've secretly been a Democrat all their life.

    Even if it turns out to be a liberal, that'd make what, 1 in 10 shooters being on the left? 1 in 100? It's clearly a lefty gun epidemic. If only Republicans could read... Also, no one will ever be caught for this one. That way they can speculate to high heaven and never be wrong.

    If it doesn't matter if the shooter is conservative, it doesn't matter if the shooter is progressive.

    We need to stop making things matter when they don't. Who cares what the shooter was. They never do.

    Yep. I saw someone comment on the shooting earlier today on one of the mainstream articles - first commenter says "liberal violence needs to stop", next commenter says "both attempts on donnie were Republicans", third commenter denies that (I'm pretty sure the shooter that broke glass near donnie was a con, not sure about the other guy that set up a backpack near one of his golf courses, but he didn't even get off a shot).

    They already think the guy that had Taco wearing that performative bandage for weeks on end because of broken glass nearby was a liberal.

    Facts don't matter to these clowns. At all.

    It's probably a disgruntled MAGAt, although the fact that they are still at large probably means they are too smart to have been a MAGAt.

    Then again, if it were a white male with a red hat they probably could have slipped in and out pretty easily. Has anyone done the math on how far the shot was?

    IMO it doesn't matter who it is any more than it matters that vaccines are safe, Magats will make up their own story. 20 years of social media saying the guy's a hard right nutcase will just be considered a liberal conspiracy.

    "Hey! You guys are supposed to be the ones against guns! You're not allowed to shoot US!"

    We keep telling them that they aren't the only ones with guns, but they don't believe it. And I'll bet we're more competent with them as well.

    Funny how when a liberal politician is shot, they've been "killed", but when a conservative influencer is shot, it's "assassination".

    Isn't the word "assassinate" reserved for elected officials? Why tf is the media using this language for this jabroni who was a civilian?

    Not polarizing, like Socrates...

    Do they even know what they're saying? Socrates was so polarizing he was put to death because his opinions were too controversial at the time. (This isn't to imply the same for Kirk. He's just an asshole, and he won't be remembered by history.)

    Whether they know or not is irrelevant. They know their brain dead audience doesn't know anything about Socrates other than "that old Greek guy" and so they can say whatever they want.

  • Neither do I, but I do have empathy for the people who'll suffer due to Kirk's martyrdom. Meanwhile, Kirk's audience is still there, and they'll be eagerly snatched up by the next demagogue to spout the same message.

    The world became worse yesterday. Don't forget that.

    Political violence is of course bad... but as soon as you call for it, especially indirectly, you deserve whatever comes to you. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism, and there's not a lot more American than the fact we don't negotiate with terrorists.

    I would say the only things more American than the fact we don't negotiate with terrorist is our negotiations with terrorists or our acts of (state sanctioned, so they don't use the term) terrorism.

    He’s like Socrates. He asks questions, and he does it with a smile. And there’s nothing controversial about saying, ‘socialism is worse than capitalism. Men and women are different. Let’s put America first,’ because that’s all he was about, putting America first.

    Guy isn't even cold and they're moving on to more culture war bullshit.

    I love that these two bit conmen are all like "they're at war with us?!" When they've been trying to incite war with "us" for the past decade or so. It's hilarious how it's now all our fault. Also, Jesse Watters is a cunt and a deplorable human being. Let me know when someone of worth has something to say.

    They’re the same people who think it’s the Palestinians who are the attackers. They’re classic, boring, textbook bullies who don’t like it when the kid they’re torturing gives a free one to the nose and so they run to the teacher crying.

    Just saying, with this type of unhinged rhetoric, liberals and minorities should exercise their 2A rights.

    It's got the potential to get bad because guys don't need facts before they shoot especially with a influential guy here, and he is, actively encouraging his followers to avenge Kirk and blaming the left with no proof.

    The 2A was quite literally written to be a failsafe against a federal government like we have now. Of course it comes with additional societal drawbacks that we've essentially focused exclusively on for decades, for mostly good reasons. However, you can be assured that they'll think twice about oppressing minority groups if those people are armed and demonstrate a willingness to defend themselves. It's not a magic bullet (lol) but at the end of the day I'd rather go out fighting the fascists than hoping to hide from them while they escalate their violence against my fellow citizens.

    What?

    Has it even been a week since Trump himself declared war on Chicago?

    Don't act like any escalation is because one piece of shit got got. Whatever comes next was co.ing anyways.

    If what happened today has any effect on Trump's timeline, it likely slows it down.

    Every piece of shit just got reminded that this is still America. 40% of people have easy access to a gun, and most Americans can buy one in under an hour.

    They're going to calm down, at least in person. Violence is about the only thing that keeps fascist out of daylight, especially when they already control the government

    This was done by someone with skills and discipline.

    It was probably deliberate, and ordered by the administration, and will be used for Trump to try to take guns away from citizens so he can start sending goons to our homes

    They started this earlier in the week with the trans gun ban speculation. And immediately Trump knew and posted when he was shot. And Fox News already has a script ready.

    This this this. And Kirk so loved his Fearless Leader that the Leader figured Kirk would be ok knowing he would be more useful to Leader as a dead distraction than a played out influencer of youth when those youth are abandoning the R anyway.
