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!

So this is a “mental health crisis” shooting, and not a “we need to round up the leftists” shooting. Got it.
Nah, this news will never make it to MAGA. They're already saying that this was "another" radical leftist.
It doesn't matter what happens anymore. Americas oligarchs spent several decades consolidating media ownership and constructing an alternative "conservative cinematic universe" where reality is entirely irrelevant.
The base has been indoctrinated with the fascist mental illness by their propaganda machine, and I mean that literally. Conservatives are now a mentally ill population, and de-programming them in any meaningful way is essentially impossible.
Whatever happens from now on, it will always be <insert any nazi scapegoat's> fault in their eyes, forevermore.
Because leftists drive bigass pickups with giant American flags and a gun rack.
Well good. Let them spin this. Then they can start second guessing eachother.
Nah, they’re claiming that because it was attached to a stop sign it actually meant Stop Trump 🙄
No, this is a "Closeted Leftist makes a false flag attack" shooting. And if that doesn't work, it's a "Look at what those violent leftists made me do!" Shooting.
This shooter just needs to find Jesus like the Kirk one.
A kalashnikov would be more accurate
No it's another attack on Christianity in America. That's the line. Never mind they don't care about mormons
He has Trump derangement syndrome. Get him a doctor.
Put him in a MedBed!
But that's the same thing, being a democrat / against Trump is a mental health disorder, TDS. /s
No this is brain washed radicalization shooting. Fox news robots have been calling for violence and these guys have been so programmed by the military so they do not fear death and must follow orders.
I think everyone here understands that. The person you were responding to used air quotes implying that’s what the right will view it as.
