Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Charlie Kirk’s podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, to lay out their plans.

      It says a lot that I hadn’t even heard of her murder.

      I mean, I’m Canadian, so I really struggle to keep track of every time one of you lot shoots another, but still, point stands.

    Guess they were never going to let a good crisis go to waste. Doesn’t matter if the shooter was far right or not, they were always gonna blame the left.

      The shooter didn’t hate transgender people, according to the right, that makes him a far left radical

      The racism and dictatorship were the important promises. The rest was just for suckers

        When they went after the left again. Odd. And before that, it was communists just after WWII. I’m beginning to think this country doesn’t like the left.

      This is what victimization fantasy looks like.

      Also, please notice the incredibly steep increase in this kind of misuse of language in the previous ~200 hours.

      Should be noted that both parties going after the other side isn’t true. That just seems to be a Republican thing these last few decades. Even more so in the last few months. The people living in luxury are the most responsible, so that statement is true

        I think this disingenuine argument is founded on the fact that Democrats will lock up Republicans who have broken the law and they want to call that Democrats going after republicans. Where Republicans will lock up anybody who disagrees with whatever illegal bullshit they’re trying to accomplish

      The difference is that when democrats go after the right … it’s because far right extremists literally tried to lead a coup to take over government

      When republicans go after the left … it’s usually because of something the right did to themselves

      While true to a small degree, it is very obvious how lopsided one side is in comparison to the other. But I wholeheartedly agree that us citizens are the ones left in the lurch and usually fighting with each other (class warfare).

        I don’t know if that is true to any degree. The Democrats were chosen by the donors to be weak. They will not enforce the law against the rich and connected, they would not enforce the law against Republicans that tried to end the Republic in all but name and set themselves up as a one-party State rigging elections promising to persecute the other side they fall falsely claimed were doing that.

        Which is the president’s raison de etre, Biden and the Democrats abdicated their duty to defend the republic after the most egregious in your face attempt to kill it.

        If that would not spur them to action nothing will. The party is broken. Not a single Challenger for president with four months to go with a candidate that never broke 30% approval rating and was roundly hated by all sides, that offered no substantive reform against a candidate running as reform in a time of anger and upheaval.

        Pelosi handpicked her replacement as house Speaker without challenge, Schumer has not faced a single fucking challenge.

        What the fuck is wrong with this party?

          oh, get off. I can think of many notable very high profile instances of them attempting to enforce law against Republicans and being foiled because people like you demotivated their voters.

            Honestly, it’s a very nuanced topic that has no clear delineation of right and wrong. There are some things the Dems will champion, while other things they will abdicate. It’s confusing as fuck to be honest; not to mention mentally exhausting. But at the end of the day, they’re still far better than their conservative counterparts (sometimes barely).

            They allowed an attempt to end the Republican all but name to go unpunished so I would tell you to get on it not off it. No reasonable person would do anything but scoff at what you say here which I do good sir. I scoff at you.

            Those damn voters never know what’s good for them so that’s why we will give the GOP so much rope to hang themselves that it reaches the floor!
