“We’ll be announcing,” Trump added. “They’re already under major investigation. A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left [are] already under investigation.”

And yet again, the assassin is a CIS, White, Mormon, Maga Family Male.

    Murdered by a MAGAt. Murderer was from a MAGAt family. Left a note saying what he was going to do.

    Dumbass-in-Chief: the violence of the left won’t stand! How dare they not think I’m the bestest and brightest snowflake! WaaAAAAaaaa 🚼🧷

    I’ve seen too many people take it for granted that the suspect not being a leftist means we’re out of the woods. Facts have no bearing on who MAGA will blame. They still act like the attempts on Trump’s life are the left’s fault too, even after it was confirmed both would-be assassins were on the right.

    There’s nothing we can do to make facts penetrate the MAGA bubble. All we can do is use the facts to keep more people from getting captured by the MAGA bubble.

      Can confirm. My MAGA relative did not get the memo that the shooter was on the right. Just like they didn’t get the memo about all the other shooters in the past year and some change. They were and are all radical left lunatics. That’s what Fox News and Facebook is spoon-feeding them.

      Yeah, that’s what we have on r/conservative and my local community forums right now.

      They don’t let facts get in the way of the outrage.

        If facts and critical thinking stopped fascism world war 1 would still be called “the last great war” instead…

        Hell, even if just appeasing fascists worked, there wouldn’t have been a world war 2.

        But the only way to stop fascism is violence. In a good government, the government does it.

        In a fascist government…

        It’s usually another country’s military who steps it. And that’s a worse result for everyone involved.

            Of course, in a country where everyone is just stealing whatever they can and no one dares tell President Pedophile anything he doesn’t want to hear, the U.S. military will be on par with the Russian military soon.

        I’d say so, too, but they were good at it. As Carlin mentioned, think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half of them are stupider than that! I’m beginning to wonder where I fall, especially as things get on in life.

          That you’re asking the question is a good sign you’re on the upper half of the curve I’d say.

      UT Gov Spencer Cox talking about how he was “radicalized by Reddit and dark dark places on the internet” and then concluding that he’s a “leftist.”

      They have always wanted everyone who disagrees with them dead. This is just one of many excuses they may use for it. We’re not out of the woods until/unless they’re out of power.

      So you think this is all just a distraction? And you think that releasing files that confirm what we already know about Trump’s past is the real thing?

      Did I get that right?

      At this point, they’ll be carting your family off to a prison in Africa and you’ll still be shouting at their captors to stop distracting from Epstein.

    Pretty much everything on Twitter is saying he was a leftist. Propaganda at its finest.

    What the FUCK is this story

    Public records show that the suspect is unaffiliated with any party, while both his parents are registered Republicans.

    Authorities also said that ammunition from a bolt-action rifle recovered after the shooting included inscriptions such as, “notice bulges OWO what’s this?” “Hey fascist! Catch!” and “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.” Another casing bore the phrase “Bella ciao,” in an apparent reference to the popular Italian anti-fascist anthem.

    On Sunday, however, Cox told NBC’s Meet the Press that the suspect’s political ideology was “very different” from his family’s.

    “There clearly was a leftist ideology with this assassin,” he said, citing information from Robinson’s family and romantic partner.

    Cox later told CNN’s State of the Union that Robinson lived with his transgender partner, though investigators were still trying to determine whether their romantic relationship was a motive behind the shooting.

    The 22-year-old suspect was also steeped in “dark” corners of the internet, Cox said.

    If this investigation promises to uncover an American politician who’s left of center, I will tentatively allow it.
