A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

As long as it's not your country's responsibility! Good thing you have a general purpose bogeyman.

Theres plenty of evidence that Russia has been paying right wing influencers to spread misinformation. Its not a fucking bogeyman, this is reality.

Oooohhh and pray tell, how can you know which molecule of a tornado toppled over THAT house in particular?

It's a bogeyman, the same way Russia hysteria has been for Americans since the 1950s. You are being manipulated, that's true, but look closer to home.
