So this is a “mental health crisis” shooting, and not a “we need to round up the leftists” shooting. Got it.
Nah, this news will never make it to MAGA. They're already saying that this was "another" radical leftist.
It doesn't matter what happens anymore. Americas oligarchs spent several decades consolidating media ownership and constructing an alternative "conservative cinematic universe" where reality is entirely irrelevant.
The base has been indoctrinated with the fascist mental illness by their propaganda machine, and I mean that literally. Conservatives are now a mentally ill population, and de-programming them in any meaningful way is essentially impossible.
Whatever happens from now on, it will always be <insert any nazi scapegoat's> fault in their eyes, forevermore.
Because leftists drive bigass pickups with giant American flags and a gun rack.
Well good. Let them spin this. Then they can start second guessing eachother.
Nah, they’re claiming that because it was attached to a stop sign it actually meant Stop Trump 🙄
No, this is a "Closeted Leftist makes a false flag attack" shooting. And if that doesn't work, it's a "Look at what those violent leftists made me do!" Shooting.
This shooter just needs to find Jesus like the Kirk one.
A kalashnikov would be more accurate
He has Trump derangement syndrome. Get him a doctor.
Put him in a MedBed!
No this is brain washed radicalization shooting. Fox news robots have been calling for violence and these guys have been so programmed by the military so they do not fear death and must follow orders.
I think everyone here understands that. The person you were responding to used air quotes implying that’s what the right will view it as.
No it's another attack on Christianity in America. That's the line. Never mind they don't care about mormons
But that's the same thing, being a democrat / against Trump is a mental health disorder, TDS. /s
