New research follows online memes of Luigi Mangione, alleged UHC assassin, in normalizing left-wing violence

Anything to cause hatred for him, no matter how bullshit

left-wing

Lmfao

Ask a MAGA how they feel about health care CEOs getting shot.

And then brace yourself as they scream “ABOUT FUCKIN TIME”

Man, is it just me, or does that read like they're upset that the violence is "left wing", not that there was violence?

Don't really see this kind of spin when any of the countless righty incels shoot up a school

To me, it reads more as "seeee?!?! The people we've been training you to hate for the benefit of our rich owners ARE in fact evil demon-crats"
