    We are seeing many of the “voices” that are attempting to capitalize on the violence. What we’re not seeing are the “ears” - the ears that just saw their fearless leader is in fact a pedophile, who just sent troops to cities with no remarkable record of violence, etc.

    I know these people don’t mean what they say because they’re saying them - tweeting them and vaguely implying others do it for them, minding their wording so they can’t be sued or found liable later. The people that take action are the gullible hacks that buy into their narrative. The question now is how compelling that narrative still is.

    So, after finding out which political party the Robinson family supports, the stupid fuckers can go after each other.

    Hopefully they’ll continue to keep it amongst themselves & leave the school children out of it.

      Well interestingly I could not find Kirk saying anything about Melissa Hortmans killing. That day is chock full of huge boner post for Israel Iranian War. When another shooting happened a day later he said (excerpt):

      now today’s diabolical attack in Minnesota, allegedly by Vance Luther Boelter.

      There are far too many mentally unstable and suggestible people on the left …

      With lots of decoration, projection and minimization around this tidbit. Full text

      Edit: I’m aware Boelter turned out to be more of a Christo-Fascist. That’s why I found Kirk immediately blaming “the left” without knowing anything so weird.

        It was a really popular conservative conspiracy that Vance Boelter was a Democrat. Conservative talking heads know their base won’t do any fact checking, so they made up a narrative and their audience ate it up. I bet many of them still believe Boelter was a Democrat, despite all evidence to the contrary

      They asked people to not protest over this, in order to keep them safe. The protesters didn’t listen.

      By contrast, Ben Shapiro canceled his event TWO STATES Away in California because he was afraid of the event in Utah.

      These cowards are such trash. They talk this HUGE talk, then a warm breeze threatens to melt them. I can’t believe their party originally coined the “snowflake” term that so perfectly describes them.

      And very likely that the shooter was a Republican. They’re just looking for an excuse to go full Nazis on the “opposition”

        I dunno if I’d say very likely. We don’t know anything about the shooter yet, beyond they’re suspected to be college aged

      I mean most likely. My theory is that it’s some QAnon guy pissed about the Epstein stuff.

        Honesty seems likely. I feel like a leftist would go after someone more important but it could have just been an opportunity/access thing like he happened to live there or something.

          Still seems insane that it happened and the person got the fuck out of there scot-free, whilst some other poor sap got snatched for the deed.

    They havent even caught the shooter… they dont even know they are a leftist.

    They could be, likely are, but it doesnt matter. If it turns out to have been someone on the right or someone from outside the US political spectrum it will be swept under the rug.

    The right are hijacking this to spread propaganda. Utter bollocks

      WSJ published a story this morning reporting that “sources” claim they found a hunting rifle in the woods and unspent ammo that had “trans and antifa ideology” written on them.

      If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.

      I mean, in the collage is this one guy who talks about the attempt on Trump. That guy was a Republican. I mean, it is not news, but they do not care about facts.

      I noticed on Reddit. Within a half hour boys and Fox News along with other right wing voices were already pushing a very extreme anti leftist propaganda across the board. Before he was even announced dead and obviously before anyone even knew who the shooter was.

      It was so wild to see it happen live as if it was an ad campaign that was planned for release.

      It won’t matter at that point either. They started telling a story from the start and the amount of times it gets repeated in pursuit of their ambitions will eclipse the truth when it comes out. It isn’t like they’re all going make posts saying, ‘Zoinks guys we were wrong. It wasn’t the dems like we’ve been saying with no evidence because it was convenient, for all these weeks. Put the torches and pitchforks down.’ the narrative lives on long after the facts become known. It’s literally why facts in media actually mattered at one point.
