I would sit it out if they weren’t literally calling for me and people I love to be labeled as terrorists and killed due only to our political affiliation. At that point I can’t sit it out.
Im a never Trumper. Not sure why that makes me a horrible human being in your point of view, but oh well...
Nobody here on “the left” is trying to score political points. We’re pointing out that two of the posters who came in hot like a bat shot out of hell yesterday running their mouth about Civil War and how liberals are murderers who are happily celebrating the murder of a conservative pundit, are enormous hypocrites. We should never not point out blatant hypocrisy such as that.
Why, you yourself have admitted that trump isn't a good person, but he is on your "team" so you overlook all of his shortcomings.
And why? This "we'll show them" attitude is a contributing factor to where we are now. If you don't "point out" their hypocrisy does that make them any less hypocritical? Is this the only example of their hypocrisy? Is this the only time where you can point out they are hypocritical shits? Is all lost if you don't point this out today on this particular issue? Are the knuckle dragging conservatives going door with a shotgun looking for registered democrats and the only way to stop this is by shaming them on the internet? It seems pretty self evident to anyone outside the MAGA bubble that these people are hate filled warmongers who contribute more to violent rhetoric than any major movement in this country's history. Shaming them now won't fix this problem. We can turn away - allow the legal process to play out - figure out this person's motives and then address the societal issues from there. That seems a lot healthier than whatever the fuck is happening on the internet.
The fact that the shooter hit Kirk in the neck indicates to me they are a relative novice. An experienced shooter would have hit him in the head or chest. I could see a novice aiming for center mass and hitting him in the neck instead.
I think you’re overthinking it, man. It’s not about “we’ll show them” or at least it is not to me. It’s simply about pointing out that at least two of the most outspoken conservative posters on this thread are doing the literal exact thing to ratchet up the temperature that they supposedly decry. I have absolutely, positively zero delusions that either of the two people to whom I’m referring care about their hypocrisy, and I’m certain they care even less about their hypocrisy being pointed out. That doesn’t make it any less worthy of doing on a message board. Do I think it’s actually going to accomplish anything? Of course not. Does anything on this board ever accomplish anything? Of course not. It doesn’t mean that you can’t call it out
Actually no. I should have clearer in my statement. I’m referring to the Never Trumper grifters who run the Lincoln Project or are Trump haters simply to secure cable TV gigs. They take advantage of and profit on liberals’ TDS.
Later videos suggest Kirk was hit in the chest but the bullet ricocheted off his bulletproof vest and hit his neck. Which still seems to suggest a relative novice — seems like a professional sniper would have recognized the contours (and likelihood) of a bulletproof vest.
Let’s assume that is true. How does that make them any different than, say, your preferred source of information, LibsofTikTok, which takes advantage of and profits on conservatives’ Liberal/Transgender Derangement Syndrome?
And you see this method of making money as one sided? Unique to Liberals?
Haven't read everything, so maybe I missed this.
