It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas. Just glad this happened in Utah and not Illinois or California. Blue states will likely bear the brunt of the repercussions if there are any.
They were going to no matter what because no one is willing to stop them. Now there's one less.
Were? They already are. Is there no one who remembers what happened in Minnesota a few months ago?
He ded?
He ded now
He ded.
I doubt he survived that, but if he did he'll be fucked for life
I just saw the news. Holy shit. I mean, how big of an iPhone screen do you need?
He didn't. The shot blew a major artery, death in less than a minute.
Shame he didn't suffer
*Fewer
Don't you kink shame me
We need both fewer and less.
Republicans are marching National Guard soldiers into the largest cities in America on exaggerated "crime fighting" excuses. They have established an unaccountable militia with ICE hiding their identities and violating the civil rights of American citizens on exaggerated or fabricated drug/violence reasons. They've needed no legitimate excuses to do these things, yet they are actively doing them. This changes nothing on that front.
Lmao, I love that person's logic. "Don't do anything to piss of the fascists, they might do something fascist."
That's not what they said.
They're just pointing out that Trump will be everage the situation and enact an even more fascist agenda.
That's not saying the left shouldn't do anything, rather just be prepared for the consequences.
I’m more afraid it will accelerate things.
They'll make up whatever excuses they need either way so it doesn't really make a difference.
They're going to do fascism no matter what! They don't care about truth. They can just make shit up if they need to rile up their supporters.
It'll be interesting to see the contrast with the political response to this assassination compared to the Democratic Minnesota lawmaker that was assassinated a couple months ago
I get the distinct feeling conservatives won't be nearly as silent about this one
Except they haven't needed an excuse to date. I'm sick of this boogyman. Punch back, they haven't been pulling any punches.
It will be like the Iraq war.
Saudi Arabia was responsible, but we're going to attack Iraq instead.
I think this is a net positive, especially because the shooter was reportedly an old white guy
per AP:
"The person was initially a suspect but then was cleared when police realized he wasn't trans"
They've confirmed it wasn't him. The shooter was on a building 200 yards away
I dunno what you're talking about. The was with me playing the new Mario Kart game. I was in first place then I got blue shelled.
Oh yeah, definitely
Side note - I just wanna say don't post this guy. He's got nothing to do with this as far as we know
What a legend
That's probably a net positive for odd white guys too, the bar is in hell these days.
You mean like deploying troops in our cities?
Oh wait, they already did that.
Or, do you mean shipping people off the concentration camps?
Oh shit, that's already being done.
What you're upset about is that the fascism has stepped closer to YOU.
They do that anyway. Fuck 'em.
Oh, yeah, they will, but that's inevitable anyway. It won't occur to them that oppressing Dems will only make them stronger and more resolved. Nothing has created more terrorists than Conservative military operations.
Inb4 Fox News talking heads all get Secret Service protection, so Trump can continue watching them all day.
