"The Lunatic Left strikes again!"
I can't believe the amount of propaganda that floods USA society. Right-wingers genuinely don't believe their side is violent and dangerous because of shitbags like Trump and Musk.
Citizens United spelled the final nail in the coffin.
It should come as no surprise that with the
... And finally, combined with
... That intellectualism is losing the race. These people live in completely alternate realities. Principals of religious faith have now fully been incorporated into political ideology. Once untethered from reason, it's all about what you want to believe.
Nah, Alito wrote that there is no evidence that large cash campaign donations leads to corruption.
It's not that they don't believe their side is violent.
They believe their violence is justified. It's everyone else that is wrong.
It's a subtle but important distinction because they will gladly accept violence for their ends. They already have during January 6th.
My trump supporting father says that any violence committed on Jan 6 was secretly conducted by ANTIFA or the feds to make trump look bad.
That said though they do like violence from their side just look at how they react to protestors being run over but that's OK because they were committing the horrific crime of blocking the road
To a fascist, hypocrisy is a virtue.
You're right. I should revise my statement to say that they don't consider themselves violent compared to "the Left" (by which they mean libs, who they think are socialist communists because they're completely brainwashed). They don't have a coherent understanding of modern politics beyond picking a side and shouting loudest.
As soon as I saw "CDC" in the first headline I saw, I knew what kind of person did this, and what their political ideology was.
So fucking predictable.
Aren't the anti-vaxxers in charge?
Y'all I think these anti-science terrorists might not be as smart as they look. And that's saying something.
Was the shooter white or other? I just want to know how much effort will put into the consequences.
Is the shooter still alive? Then definately white.
That's why I don't talk to antovaxxers. They are crazy
That's smart.The probability any given antivaxxer might end up shooting you is still low, but I'd wager it's several orders of magnitude higher than if you disagreed with any other type of person on a similar subject.
I try to get in real good with the antivaxxers in my life, just in case. Like the people who thank AI.
it’s much less lower than the odds of getting murdered by a cop because you spoke to them.
How do you know? You never been to Texas and Florida where many antovaxxers also carry guns? They are short fused and they hate to be corrected.
When you see a crazy person walking down the street, you just want to stay away from them
odds are formed after knowledge is had - tell me the last time you saw news of an antivax murder spree? Compare that to how often we hear of cops murdering during “no knock” raids. or traffic stops. or protests. or because they confused pistol and taser… etc.
Here, it is all on the news recently. Multiple people died
Gunman in Deadly C.D.C. Shooting Fixated on Covid Vaccine, Officials Say - The New York Times https://share.google/1zVUhR1eiCpjrVXNW
yes. one recent incident. now think back - when was the last time, prior?
I have an antivax coworker who is also virulently anti-immigrant. Her main reason for being anti-immigrant is that she thinks immigrants are unvaccinated and bring diseases into this country. When she told me this I was too busy looking for my jaw on the ground to try and argue with her. She is exactly as unpleasant and ugly as you would imagine.
I used to work with an sntivaxxer nurse. She uses "religion exempt" to exempt all she and her kids from vaccines and she is a nurse!
Gee, they might die from a preventable disease. Sad for the kids who have no choice.
Amazing wanting to kill people for wanting people to not die of disease.
No no, they're saving lives by killing the scary scientists that are secretly injecting nanobots into our children that brainwash them into being woke!

When will Democrats tone down the rhetoric? /s
Sickness is health… War is peace… Ignorance is strength…

Shit! They are shooting their own now?
Now?
Cop was black, tho
Cop was black, married father of two with another on the way and had been on the force less than a year.
Imma ask the ACAB gods for a qualified exemption in this case. That’s tragic.
MCAB welcomes you.
Splitter! Come back to ACAPB.
Exemption denied.
Nah. ACAB.
It was Biden, wasn't it? No? Obama, then? No? Hillary? Bill? Pelosi? Who was it? Anti-Vaxxer?
Nah, didn't happen, fake news. If it happened, why isn't it on the news? I didn't see it on the news.
You are commenting on a news article about it.
I didn't see it. Doesn't exist. Fake news. LIBERAL!

neat. and what else happened in the news today?
edit to be clear for the bootlickers downvoting: nothing of value was lost.
The Epstein files still weren't released.
I'm curious, in your worldview, should the shooter be left alone, talked down by de-escalation experts, or stopped by "good" cops flown in from a socialist country?
Or maybe we first eliminate guns from our culture and properly vet and train police officers, then we see if the active shooter is still going.
what does socialism have to do with this? yes, a cop is still an armed wing of an authoritarian gov, and they can also stop an unhinged shooter. two things can be true or happen at the same time.
i own plenty of guns. i am not anti gun. i am anti authoritarian.
I feel like you're dodging the question. How should society deal with a shooter on a spree? Armed anti-authoritarians step in instead of the police? Vigilantism comes with many problems of its own and really isn't an answer to authoritarianism.
If you think it should be stopped by police, why cheer that one was killed doing what he was supposed to do?
where do I cheer? I simply stated nothing of value was lost.
Yes, I believe working class people can take care of themselves.
Fascist in power.
And the left still want to give up their arms.
The fuck is wrong with you all.
this leftist does not want to give up arms. what makes you think “the left” wants that? not to “scotsman” this but no actual leftist would want to give up arms; they are necessary in various ways.
Who are you considering the left then? Cause you're arguing semantics right now. Which does nothing to help get out of this fascist nightmare.
anarchists, actual communists, and cohorts of that sort. not liberals. not democrats.
So an even smaller subset, a tiny fraction of the population falls into that mix.
and? your point is? a cop died operating against a mentally ill person with access to a weapon. a cop who was paid by the same system who firebombs entire US city blocks because there is a “bad guy” there.
nothing. of. value. was. lost.
It's not the left, it's liberals. They've always wanted to disarm the left. The idea of armed unions, other leftists, or black people in general make liberals terrified. That's why all major gun legislation in the history of our country has been aimed at those groups.
ain’t no war but class war.
