Where are these liberals? I'm only seeing celebrations or "I don't condone but in this case I don't care either" for the fascist getting shot.

Or were you hearing them condemn gun violence for the school shooting that also occurred today?

Newsom, for one.

Where are these liberals?

They are lurking everywhere in the .ml brain-rotted hive-mind

"liberals" being whatever you need the term to mean in the moment.

The politics understander has trouble believing US democrats are in fact, liberals.

Sure, today you mean top Democrats, tomorrow you mean anyone a hair to the right of Marx.

If the person that is a hair to the right of Marx defend capitalism surprise surprise he is a liberal.

I'm sure you'll accuse them of doing so, yes.

A lot of leftist commentators that are popular on tiktok are spewing crocodile tears over this and screaming at the masses who are celebrating it.

These grifters always cry that someone needs to stop the Nazis, then cry harder and angrier when someone actually stops the Nazis.

I've seen a lot of posts condemning political violence. Newsom, Bernie, Harris, Waltz, AOC.

I haven't seen any of them praising the assassination of Palestinians though.

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago

Agreed, at best this is confirmation bias at play

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then there must be some mismatch between what actual liberal leaders are saying, and their followers.

Pretty sure we saw that with Luigi too
