Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

When do Taco, Mace, Qbert, Watters, etc...start declaring that the guy who has said "having sex with women is gay" is to blame for all the political violence in this country?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Makes them one of the most gullible groups of creatures on earth

[–] tinned_tomatoes@feddit.uk 273 points 1 week ago (17 children)

MAGAts awfully quiet all of a sudden.

Mace went from "democrats must own this" to "Jesus save this lost individual" on cue.

Evil people, all of them.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 137 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The last fact published by the media was that Kirk had died.

Everything since has just been hot garbage peddled by the hot garbage paddlers cabal.

Urgh. Anything for an advertisement impression.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Corporate news media? Agree.

If this turns out to be true, and really even if it doesn't, I'm just tired of MAGA on MAGA gang violence in the USA. Can't these people just settle their differences over a Bible or the blood of baby Jesus?

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 80 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I dont like MAGA on MAGA violence and would like it to stop but if it must continue can they at least accept that is what it is? I'm tired of the blame that everyone non-MAGA gets before the MAGA shooter inevitably gets caught.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But they want to exterminate all of their perceived enemies. They can't do that if their greatest enemy is themselves.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 week ago

I'm willing to let them try

[–] don@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

No maga cannot accept that, such is anathema to their very existence. Their entire identity is to reject, foaming at the mouth, anything that runs counter to the propaganda they’ve been brainwashed into believing is true.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Somebody pointed out to me apparently that tracksuit he dressed up in, pepe memes and such were tied into him being a Nick Fuentes fan. Apparently Fuentes and Kirk had a fued, i don't know anything about it though.

Meaning this could have just been a Fuentes follower that hated Kirk

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 20 points 1 week ago

Oh I can give you that info too

Check out the groyper wars:

So Fuentes and Kirk had two separate conservative factions: Groypers and TPUSA, am I getting this right? They have some kind of beef with each other? Messing with rival members? Idk, kinda like gangs, if you will?

This makes it even more hilariously ironic. He died by his last two words. Who are these writers?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“Counting gang violence?”

Apparently, Charlie.

Ha ha ha ha ha you fucking dumb magats. Wasn’t brown, trans, immigrant or anything. Was white guy with a gun.

I’m going to love watching America eat itself over this.

You fucking pathetic losers blame everyone but your own red hat wearing backwater inbred selves.

[–] SanctimoniousApe 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

While I understand and agree America has set itself up for this, try to remember MAGAts are only slightly less than half the population (an overly aggressive half, to be sure). Us "woke" people are being forced to suffer for MAGAts' collective sins, too.

Woah woah woah. As the elected representative of the fucking pathetic losers (very small turnout), I will go on record saying that we know that the red hats are the issue, and Chuck Schumer is furiously drafting a letter to Trump right now. This issue should obviously be resolved within the next two weeks.

Tyler Robinson has previously registered as a nonpartisan voter, but according to Utah Governor Spencer Cox, he had “become more political in recent years.” Cox added that Robinson had told a family member he disliked Kirk and mentioned that Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University.

Cox shared that Robinson’s roommate had handed in incriminating Discord messages in which Tyler stated specifics about bullet engravings and details about a rifle in a hidden location. Discord, however, released a statement saying Robinson did not plan the attack on their platform or promote violence.

Although MAGA figureheads have been quick to point fingers at the left for Kirk’s death, Tyler’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, 69, [Edit: Nice] insisted that they come from a family of Trump supporters. 

She spoke with Daily Mail on Friday after news of Robinson’s arrest broke. “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,” Debbie told the outlet. “Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.”

Hey cool what about the Epstein files.

B-b-b-but Laura Loomer told me it was civil war time because the killer was a radical leftist.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

A WHITE MAGA? That sounds like a Black Transgendered Liberal! I DO MY own RESEARCH!

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Screenshot all the white-wingers before they delete their tweets.
