Helly with the Severance easter egg in her acceptance speech

There it is....Against fascism?! No way you can be Republican.

He must have been radicalized by that one semester of Intro to Comparative Literature, clearly

Just a moment to acknowledge the political space we inhabit Republicans everywhere online right now are saying the shooter cannot be a Republican because he was against fascism. It's illogical to possibly support the Republican party and also be against fascism. Against fascism? Clearly not a...

Writing the phrase "If you read this you are gay" on the bullet casing is an interesting window into this guy's psyche. Generally speaking, you wouldn't expect an LGBTQ ally to say something like that. What are those Republicans who hate Trump called -- Never Trumpers or RINOs? I wonder if the...
