Wonder if this is trumps tactic of choosing someone even republicans will reject first so his next equally terrible choice seems more passable.

8/13/2025 7:59:33 PM

You think Republicans are going to reject?!

So far the only person that failed was Matt Gaetz whom they objectively hated as a person and involuntary colleague.

If Trump wants him, he must be good enough!

I’ve seen a dramatic rise in normie internet (Facebook and Instagram comments) that we’re on the cusp of civil unrest marked by violence

The messaging of trump putting troops out has people unnerved. Even rightwing prepper groups on Reddit are getting more riled up about their supplies and readiness (to weather violence not perpetrate it). Hard to tell which side of the event horizon we’re on now.

"We must shutdown the leftist agitators" is equivalent to actual murder, bombings, and calls for violence against JK Rowling, Vance, Trump, Matt Walsh etc etc etc.

It's less about the rhetoric and more about the bombings, shootings, and billions in damages from riots.

Internet is convinced the Kirk shooter was a Nick Fuentes follower as party of the Groypers who recently have been beefing with maga over their acceptance of the Epstein stuff and fealty to Zionism.

All the bullet engravings seems to fit pro-groyper trolling. I’m not up in this subculture but it seems to fit better than him being an odd leftist out from his community mad about Kirk’s homophobia and racism.

9/12/2025 2:47:32 PM

So the shooter possibly either thought that Charlie Kirk was too far-right or not far-right enough, or the shooter was just an accelerationist.

9/12/2025 10:15:33 PM

Perhaps he had beef with Kirk’s anti-trans comments, seeing as how his love interest was trans, at least according to this particular article. Per other sources, both families sounded pretty anti-trans.

9/15/2025 8:58:31 AM

No idea if it's true but isn't The Sun a tabloid?

From the removed "study" with no source data:

Quote :

"Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.1 In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.2 "

Quote :

"The prevalence of particular movements can ebb and flow over time depending on political climate and law enforcement priorities, but at no point in recent U.S. history has one set of beliefs completely dominated extremism or hate crime activity.11 "

The cited actual study: https://www.start.umd.edu/research-projects/extremist-crime-database-related-projects includes prison violence and McVeigh which would make it closer to equal if you added tranny school shooters...

I feel like the conservative talking points on Trans is that they want to protect children and it's a mental illness that should be dealt with in other ways. You seem to constantly be saying the quiet part out loud and just making it clear you despise them. No question I guess, just observation. Maybe you're trying to make some kind of point but I'm not sure anybody here gets it.

9/16/2025 2:28:13 PM

^ The point here is if one shoots up a school, I would expect it to be including in stats on left-wing violence. Several of these studies going around notably do not include them as left-wing political violence.

Example would be the Nashville school shooting in 2023:

Quote :

"The leaks showed that Hale was hoping for "a high death count" and had a stated desire to "kill little crackers" and "faggots" with "white privilege"."

9/16/2025 3:10:23 PM

Seems like you could make those points without using language that makes it seem like you hate trans people, if you don't.

And post how you want to post of course, I'm just telling you the conclusion I'm coming to, no obligation to refute or confirm.
