The sad thing is if even if the shooter was wearing a MAGA hat and was waving a Nazi flag after the shooting, they would still find a way to blame it on the left.
False flag! No one dresses like that! ~someone dressed like that
Thats exactly on purpose - facilitate an atmosphere of hate and violence, reap the benefits.
Yep, left right or center. The kids actual political leanings are irrelevant. Fascists are in control, and like all authoritarian groups. It will be pinned on whatever outgroup they deem necessarily. Regardless of the facts
Not just the left, a trans roommate. It's like the junta is ordering off the menu.
Time for my least favorite game... "Imagine a Democrat said that!"
Biden was "a dictator" for... using an EO for student debt relief...
Obama was a dictator and communist who was supposed to start a war to retain power.
Trump, nah he's just a Super Patriot...

I read somewhere (possibly here?) That the US is heading towards their own version of The Troubles. I think it could be a likely scenario at this point.
I saw the movie civil war a while back, and I think it was one of the scariest films I've seen in quite some time.
Might have been me. I've been saying it for a while. We are not geographically divided enough for a civil war to look anything like the last one did. It can only look more like the Troubles.
Could have been! Yeah it's...not looking great. I hope things can get to a better place without going down that route
i would too, but the right has been foaming at the mouth for a long time. only peaceful way out i see is if you submit. i wont submit.
Submitting is not a way out
Hmm yeah I mean if push comes to shove, you can't give in under a fascist regime. People have to stay strong.
I just keep hoping something causes them to crumble from within and leads to something with less chaos.
i think that would be trumps death. there is no named successor. he feels like a stick thats keeping the pasta water from boiling over. theres soo much infighting, theres even been physical fights. kirk might have been a possible choice. he pretended to be an intellectual MAGA, courted the extremist and gave the moderate MAGA talking points to hide behind. now due to current events, he cant be a successor.
Resist!
Bring it fascists!
They are bringing it. Not seeing a lot of counteraction.
