Can we say conclusively the shooter was a conservative Republican? I know they were registered to the party but they also donated to Democratic campaigns. I think ascribing any kind of political affiliation or motivation to him is premature
Maybe some of the craziest, who believed in the most craziest stuff, and thus will feel the most wrong-doed/betrayed, starts to understand it was just lies?
You mean to tell me that the ex-president who has consistently dog whistled for violence, terrorism and general fascism in every other breath is…
…gasp…
Facing those same ideologies himself?!? The same guy who instigated an INSURRECTION ON THE FUCKING CAPITAL??? No way bro this has got to be fake news, how could we possibly have come to this conclusion?!
And the left are the ones who “eat themselves.”
What an utter fucking joke the Conservative Party is, honest to god
I often wonder what kind of violence there will be if Trump loses in November. Then I wonder what kind of violence there will be, further down the line, if he wins.
Honestly if Trump loses I expect maybe a Jan 6 level event but no broad violence from his army of couch potatoes. And Jan 6 level event is less likely just given that now the govt should be better prepared for it…
The trans furry communists of Lemmy hacked the heritage foundation just days before the attempt on Trump’s life. While they would love to investigate both at the same time, they don’t have the man power.
The agencies have no choice but to investigate in the order the crimes happen. So right wingers, your follow up acts of terrorism should be investigated some time in the first quarter of twenty-twenty-never.
One thing that makes me a little hopeful is that there have been opportunities already for truly horrible violence from the right and when the moment has presented itself the right wingers have shied away. It seems like the leftists are more willing to be arrested just for being there. So maybe we underestimate how important it was that the brownshirts and blackshirts were veterans who had already spent years committing horrific acts of violence, and the ammosexuals will stick with talking big and only a small handful of them will ever do more than that.
