  • No. The right has decided and they’re banded together on this, at least among the people in my circles I still talk to.

    “I’m all out of grace for the left.”

    “You fascist, hate filled leftists have crossed the line this time. We’re done.”

    “We’re past dialogue with you people.”

    Catch the running theme? It’s likely what the pundits are pushing as the narrative, I’ve been too busy and too tired to listen in this week, so I don’t know.

    And neither do they. But someone on the perception management team over there seems ready to give marching orders.

    So yeah, as you say, it likely doesn’t matter.


  • The reality is people are messy. They don’t typically fit into neatly defined boxes and neither do their politics, even when given a forced choice in a duopoly every 4 years.

    What we know so far. He’s from a conservative Christian family and was raised such that he knew how to use that family rifle and make that difficult shot. And he may be gay with a maybe gay or trans partner, it’s all very mysterious. And the reporting on his politics are flip floppy. No neat box there.

    And the engravings, if the article I read today is to be believed, they reference a meme and Helldivers 2? Some inside joke about nuke dropping or something. ??? Was this half LARP for him, hence the disengaged texts afterwards?? Who knows.

    There’s no neat and tidy here, no matter how much the perception management brigade wants it to be so.
