They attack and they attack. When a perceived attack happens they act like now is the time to attack. Just like yesterday and the day before.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Their projection will become a well deserved prophecy. These Confederates will regret provoking otherwise peaceful people into war.
DARVO once again.
Oh come on now, right wingers have been com|iting acts of violence against political opponents for years already.
I love that these two bit conmen are all like "they're at war with us?!" When they've been trying to incite war with "us" for the past decade or so. It's hilarious how it's now all our fault. Also, Jesse Watters is a cunt and a deplorable human being. Let me know when someone of worth has something to say.
They’re the same people who think it’s the Palestinians who are the attackers. They’re classic, boring, textbook bullies who don’t like it when the kid they’re torturing gives a free one to the nose and so they run to the teacher crying.
Watters's mom must be so disappointed at what a piece of shit her son became
The Minnesota political assassinations were less than 3 months ago.
These fuckers are just freaked out that the people they encourage their followers to shoot may be starting to shoot back.
We didn't know who shot Kirk. The last few attempts on Republicans were also conducted by Republicans.
Maga was spreading the news that the shooter was a liberal within minutes. The vast majority will believe that they're under attack by liberals despite any news or facts to the contrary. Anything else will be viewed as another conspiracy.
Reality is not a place where Maga and Fox News live.

Someone declared war, but it wasn't the left.
"The enemy within", "Rats", "Demon-crats"
The Nazis dehumanized the Jews like this
Jews, gypsys, homosexuals, disabled people and the opposition. Hitler actually went for the left and unions first.

Anyone can see this is a MAGA operation. They are gonna pin it on some Trans person to give them an excuse to take away their right to have a gun. All these MAGAT's are afraid of less than one percent of the population.

Funny how when a liberal politician is shot, they've been "killed", but when a conservative influencer is shot, it's "assassination".
And the liberal that was killed was literally assassinated.
We still have no idea who shot Charlie Kirk, or why.
Lmao it's like "private healthcare" and "government-run healthcare"
You fucks don't get to mix both, either way public/private or say government-run/corporate-run healthcare

And this is not a controversial person. This is not polarizing guy, a divisive person
He's like Socrates
Fox News hosts are simply unbearable.
Not polarizing, like Socrates...
Do they even know what they're saying? Socrates was so polarizing he was put to death because his opinions were too controversial at the time. (This isn't to imply the same for Kirk. He's just an asshole, and he won't be remembered by history.)
Whether they know or not is irrelevant. They know their brain audience doesn't know anything about Socrates other than "that old Greek guy" and so they can say whatever they want.
He will likely be remembered in history. In the rising violence section of the mid 2020s
Lmao did they serious say that? Wild.
Yup. Right in the article.
Absolutely insane.
So they lie about everything then? Like I knew if was ‘entertainment’ and not news because they were lying but this is like… come on.
Edit: ‘he was a beautiful boy’? Why are they so weird? Who talks like this?
As someone raised by Republican parents that I'm now estranged from.....this is just how they talk. It's fucking weird.

Patiently waiting for the shooter to be a hard right conspiracy nut so I can play this clip back
As funny as it is, nothing matters to these people. They find out that he rented twilight 12 years ago and determine that he must be one of those homosexuals, who are now at war with them.
You thought a "culture war" would never turn into a "war war"?
Aren't you the fucking clowns that just declared war on Chicago and Portland like a week ago?
Yes. A war YOU started.
Political violence is of course bad... but as soon as you call for it, especially indirectly, you deserve whatever comes to you. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism, and there's not a lot more American than the fact we don't negotiate with terrorists.

He’s like Socrates. He asks questions, and he does it with a smile. And there’s nothing controversial about saying, ‘socialism is worse than capitalism. Men and women are different. Let’s put America first,’ because that’s all he was about, putting America first.
Guy isn't even cold and they're moving on to more culture war bullshit.

My brother in christ, your side had already deployed the military on American soil and kidnapped our neighbors, this ain't a start of a war, it's engaging with an active invasion.
The party of “fuck your feelings” has feelings now? I’m clutching my pearls right now!
The party that was cheering on civil war for the last year is now trying to play the victims
