    It's so strange. I've seen people who I had no idea who they were or what they prurported to believe and thought "that face looks a bit obnoxious" and lo and behold they are asshats as soon as they say anything...

    "I'm all for violence and hate, just not towards me. I want to spread hate and fear, as I'm a soldier for my beliefs. But not when there's a slightest chance of risk for my own safety involved. I only want to harm others while being safe myself."

    It seems that they have definitely started to show themselves so much more that TACO is in office now.

    I suppose people are starting to notice.

    How come cops are so incompetent nowadays? I thought they were only hiring the best, and now they can barely catch, what, four shooters now?

    They stood around for Uvalde, took them a short time to catch the Highland Park guy, Luigi went on the run for days…

    It’s fun when they can’t even hide their incompetence.

    I remember back when Columbine happened, and while the shooters were thought to be there in the school actively killing students, the cops were moving around aimlessly, chatting and laughing in little groups, like it was a weekend cop picnic. I was outraged by the lack of concern or urgency.

    Decades later, it was the same thing at Uvalde, except we had video of them inside the school, and saw how absolutely cowardly they were.

    It was the same at Parkland, where the school security officer cowered outside, and then talked other cops out of entering, as they stood outside with their guns, and listened to the killer murder innocent, unarmed students, one after another.

    All those years, and nothing had changed. Cops are just as cowardly and useless today as they've always been.

    Statistically... Most radicalized loonies are Republicans or have similar beliefs.

    Edit: I mean, no sane person would actually grab a gun and kill a public figure. (not that I'm complaining now, or with Luigi)

    It depends on what instance you're on. We don't have ads and corporate masters here. As long as you don't encourage someone to go do something like that I think you'll be fine. Depends on the instance admins tho.

    Ben Shapiro killed Charlie Kirk. After all, Ben Shapiro was the rising star replacement for Rush Limbaugh until Charlie Kirk came along and passed him up, and became the big MAGA Media darling.

    Now Shapiro is back on top. He stands to benefit the most by Kirk's death. Obviously, Shapiro did it.

    Nah, he was Seal Team Sixed by Trump for not being a blind devoted follower. See Kirk’s flip flop on Epstein files. Yes, he publicly acquiesced but that showed too much independent thought that, with his following, organization, and youth, was a threat that required fatal consequences.

    Was the ear ever actually damaged? No medical reports, thomas crooks could've been given a blank believing it to be real and S.S. killing that maga firefighter to add to the authenticity.

    A theory that I buy 100%. There is video of him 2 weeks later with no bandage, and there isn't the slightest thing wrong with his ear. It should have taken a chunk off his ear, and there wasn't even a scab.

    The whole thing was a pre-convention hoax, meant to drum up support. Remember how all of them were wearing bandages on their ears to show solidarity?

    Dipshit traitors.

    Seems obvious to me, but MAGA Nazis aren't quick on the uptake. Their primary characteristic, after treason, racism, ignorance, and pedophilia, is virtuosic incompetence. Frankly, it's what will finally save America. Their breathtaking stupidity is unsustainable, and will eventually lead to their failure and collapse.

    That's not the point I'm making. I'm saying that if it had happened to be a prominent liberal commentator at the other end of that bullet, other liberal commentators would cancel shows in fear of their safety. It's not a good situation for anybody

    I get the viewpoint, but it did hit a bit differently when people that actively promote offensively hateful viewpoints and widespread gun availability incur the exact sort of expected outcome you'd expect from going down that path.

    If you callously say murders are worth it to have guns everywhere, then this can be expected.

    If he goes out of his way to stir up a hornets nest to try to hurt others in the area, then I'm not going to be too surprised that he gets stung.

    Even as this should be a sign to tone down the rhetoric, a lot of them are doubling down with confrontational perspectives (well out of reach of the public mind you).

    America's unwillingness to give up guns has desensitized us to violence. Tit-for-tat political violence was the obvious outcome of that. Now even if the country implemented sensible gun policies, I think it's too late. The violence will continue because we're desensitized to it

    I don't have a solution. We'll likely live with gun violence as a daily occurrence for the rest of our lives. It'll be a slow and painful recovery if there is one

    It’s literally their whole thing. I’ve even tried to explain it to them but they just say “I ain’t scared.” Oh so that’s why you cling desperately to your guns and your stereotypes? Total lack of fear.
