Most assassination attempts on Republicans have been by Republicans. Don't assume this is liberal America
Thats why I said "someone"
Although I suspect this particular assassin WAS liberal/leftist since he actually managed to hit his target, and at a decent range too.
Good point, if MAGAs are known for anything, it's their virtuosic incompetence.
Ok but you have to be shot at to shoot "back". All I'm saying is don't spread the worst case assumption
I mean, even the people voting for Republicans are getting absolutely fucked economically, some of them have even had loved ones deported. It's not literally shooting, but my point is that Trump's policies don't only affect those that voted against him.
Are trying to say this doesn't imply the shooter is a liberal?
No, that's not necessarily what I was saying. I was replying to your comment:
That's why I said republicans aren't literally being shot at, but they're getting fucked either way. Your comment seemed to imply that republican policy only affects left leaning folks. Perhaps I misread your replies, though. If it's the other way around, leftists have also been shot at in the same way, they just didn't vote for it like republicans did
Doesn't matter who it was or why. The left will be blamed.
I always said that nothing will change until someone prominent on the right gets shot. I was actually talking about their children in a school shooting in regards to tighter gun laws. Thousands of kids, a bunch of church-goers, and some Democratic lawmakers get shot and it's no big deal. But one prominent right-wing talking head gets shot and now it's real to them. This will be the impetus for major change, but not the change any of us wanted.
I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like things are about to get a whole lot worse than they were the last 8 months.
Like all facts, it will only matter to the left
Yes tho sadly this doesn't stop Magats from lying anyway
