    Kids today are spending too much time learning woke pronouns and not enough time learning how to shoot an apple off a fence at 300’

    Yea it totally wasn’t Republicans who have alluded to killing their opposition on multiple occasions. Totally not their fault that people have been more polarized, especially maga chuds, into committing violence.

    Well of course they are. Anybody with half a brand new they were going to do that the second that the news came out about the assassination. I sure did.

    As an aside, I’ve always found it hilarious when a Faux News host says ‘the media’, as if they’re not one of the biggest media outlets in the world. It’s an amazing disassociation and it seems to land somehow. The television screen tells you "the media doesn’t want you to know the truth!", o fanged poet.

      Weird how the largest broadcaster is somehow telling everyone secret knowledge that is often like an out of context publicly available clip or note

    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.

        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.

        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.

              Fine, young adult, whatever. My point still stands. Young new voters are most likely to be registered with the same party affiliation as their parents. It doesn’t mean the shooter is actually a republican.

        If nothing gets released (like very little was released about the mini-arsenal, bump-stock Las Vegas mass shooter) he’s probably right wing. If there’s anything leftist about it you can bet they’ll dig for every possible way to exploit it.

        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.

            I’ll use that counterargument the next time someone brings up how he donated $15 to pacblue when he was 15 to convince me he’s a crazy left wing antifa whackjob or similar. Edit: Apparently that donation has been debunked anyhow. So on the balance of available evidence…

    Everyone’s blaming the guns, but for the record, I’ll also blame the politicians they’re shooting at.

      You mean rhetoric? (Sorry if I’m out of the loop and this is an intentional misspelling. I’m even more sorry if this is actually spelled correctly somehow!)

    Yeah, couldn’t be all of that political violence they, the Republican party, have been preaching about and encouraging for decades now.

      Put your hand in the bowl. Grab as much shit covered spaghetti as you can. Now throw it at the wall.

      Repeat this on multiple stations a day 24/7 and it won’t matter how ludicrous it sounds, it’ll stick. You’ll be covered in it. It’ll be fuckin everywhere.
