Jesus… these losers have nothing better to do than harass children’s events? Just let the kids have fun
Agreed. It is so ridiculous.
Christian Conservatives ushering in a new golden age of violent racist extremism.
All the while screaming about the radicalised left.
Projection much? 👀
With these kinds of people, every accusation is a confession.
This is all conservatives are.
"We are all domestic terrorists"
Don’t fall prey to othering.
There are plenty of conservatives who do not make bomb threats and find this kind of radicalism abhorrent. My parents, for example. I disagree with them on very many things, but they aren’t evil people. Misguided, certainly.

They should speak up in contexts other than this, then.

How often do you listen to conservative voices beyond those that are outrageous? Because the ones that make headlines which filter into our bubbles are outliers.
Gotta remember everyone is in a bubble. My sister, for example, is sometimes shocked that my views are more rational and reasoned than her conservative bubble’s view of left-leaning people, which is mostly based on shock headlines.
If your entire understanding of people different from you comes from headlines then you don’t have a good picture of who those people are. This applies to all groups of “people different from you.”

Then they should speak up when it matters instead of whining that no one heard them not speaking up.
Do you know what they call the guy who isn't a Nazi but voted for the party because he likes their domestic tax policy?
What the conservative party is and does is clear now. They're openly racist, fascist, and Christian nationalist. They gathered at CPAC under a banner that said "We Are All Domestic Terrorists". They regularly call for the murder of anyone who isn't a cishet white Christian, they're the leading source of domestic terrorism in the US, and they are constantly threatening a civil war. Anyone who still supports them at this point is knowingly complicit, no matter their stated reason.
They don’t do the bomb threats themselves, but they’re certainly aligned with the terrorist interests and policy goals. They also “hold their noses” and vote conservative anyway.
They’re not evil; they just vote for, support the policies of, and are aligned with evil.

So I assume that when James Hodgkinson shot up Republican congresspeople playing baseball you made sure to abandon any beliefs you had in common, right? And then when the next terrorist was right wing, you switched back? Seems silly, but since we don’t want the Thought Police to think we might share views with someone who commits heinous acts we all have to do that, right?
I mean, I don’t assume you’re evil, but we wouldn’t want to think you were aligned with evil, and what Hodgkinson did was certainly wrong.
Okay, what conservative-but-not-evil things do your parents believe?
I understand that a lot of people vote how they've always voted, but the Biden administration should be as right-wing as anybody needs to go.
Beyond that just lies shameless greed, gleeful abuse, prideful stupidity and seething bigotry. Each day it gets harder to forgive people who support that because what... They want slightly more neoliberalism?
Not every conservative but when it's domestic terrorism, it's a conservative.
I believe the term is "domestic terrorists".
Remember when the conservatives said those on the left would become unhinged wen they didn’t get their way?
What happened to losing with dignity?
It was another example of projection. They really meant that if they don't get their way, they will become even more unhinged.
Yes yes, you're all condemning this, but I tell you... think of all the salty little liberal tears those children were crying!
The kids were probably thrilled to be out of class. I would have been.
When I was a kid, I probably would have been. In the age of school shootings, I don't know.
You can't be in a school shooting if you're not at school. 😉
For a fire drill, sure, I was always glad to get out for a bit. But when there's an actual danger of a bomb or active shooter, I'd probably be nervous.
Absolutely bonkers how a terror organization like LOTT can operate in broad day light and face no legal consequences, let alone any from the public in general.
What is LOTT I tried searching, but came up with the CA lottery commission, and John Lott.
Libs of Tiktok
NSA: We have the ability to spy on every single phone call in the United States
School: So you'll arrest whomever made the bomb threat against us?
NSA:
Christians.
Making sure no one has any fucking fun.
It's a cult!
Anyone else misread that as "Chatbot elementary"? Lol
