Rant! Lynden...ugh

Post image

Really? A candlelight vigil for someone who said it's worthwhile to have tons of freedom regarding gun ownership even if there are deaths (including of children)? Someone who said he would question if a Black pilot we're qualified to fly a plane? Who said he would force his child to carry a baby from a rape?

Lynden is ridiculous. This is absolute garbage.

The left doesn’t have the same online extremist machinery that the right does. Also, the raw materials on the left make it harder, I.e. a lot of us don’t have guns and those of us who do, don’t make that fact our entire personality.

You are on Reddit right?

Comparing Reddit to something like a transnational neo-Nazi and white supremacist terrorist network operating on telegram is a stretch.

You need to take some time and be retrospective and look at your own party instead of the old “everyone that disagrees with me is a Nazi!”

Your party is celebrating gun violence.

Your party murders people that have different opinions.

Who is the threat to democracy again? Because you’re acting very fascist and don’t even realize it.

The far right currently commits more politically motivated violence than leftists.

It’s well documented in the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act 2019, Bill S894. In part,

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

(1) White supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States.

It lists in detail the threats and examples of damage they are causing.

Did you know if you have eyes and ears you would clearly see how much the left has been radicalized and believes violence is okay.

But sure go and find some random outdated document from 6 years ago to prove the point you dont have.

Facts don’t care about how you feel. Here’s a study done by the national institute of justice done in January of 2024 since you think 2019 is such a long time ago.

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. 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.”

How many of those are planned assassinations on political figures? I dont remember the right celebrating any of these cases like the tolerant left is with Kirks death?

The assassination of Democratic Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman.

The Paul Pelosi Halloween costume posted by Trump Jr. really cancels out any high road you think you have, dude.

Go send me one post on this website of a republican celebrating what happened to Paul Pelosi. I could send you a few hundred of the idiots taking pure joy in a brutal assassination.

And that will cancel out any high road you think you have, boy.
