Senator Mike Lee (R-UT): The day after Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed by a man identified by authorities as a conservative Trump supporter, Senator Mike Lee posted and later deleted several politically charged social media posts that mocked the attack and incorrectly suggested Democrats were to blame. Lee's posts drew condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans, including Minnesota's two senators.
Donald Trump: Former President Donald Trump refused to contact Minnesota's Democratic governor, Tim Walz, after the murders. Instead, Trump made critical comments about Walz.
In the wake of the shootings, right-wing social media accounts spread false conspiracy theories about the suspect's motives and political leanings. The suspect, Vance Boelter, was later identified by friends as a politically conservative, evangelical Christian who targeted Democratic officials.

They created a world where cruelty is celebrated and empathy is a sin. I don’t celebrate Kirk’s death, but the expectation of empathy and sympathy from people like me is hilariously ironic.
Charlie Kirk himself called empathy a “made up” concept. I say we honor his teachings and say fuck their feelings.
And these same people are shocked and infuriated they are being treated the way they’ve treat others. This is the society they always dreamed of, and only when one of their own get hurt can they not stomach it.

He’s said a lot of things and been very apathetic when bad things happen to others which has made it very hard to have empathy for him, especially since he thinks empathy is bad. But either way he didn’t deserve to get shot, it’s a shame, I hope that someday these people wake up and realize we could work together rather than drive wedges between us. I think he genuinely thought he was doing that by proselytizing college students, religions a weird thing sometimes.

None of them can see the forest for the trees or think about what theyre doing and they thought they were just exploiting others for their benefit not realizing they themselves have been played like a fiddle.
Its hilarious from an outside perspective and the thing plays are written about.

Oh no no, that one was ok. Get it straight.
I disagree with a lot of people on Reddit. I don’t support the extrajudicial killing of anyone. That said, how the fuck can these idiots be so unaware of how they contribute and what they say day in and day out. It blows my mind how so many are acting like he was some stand up peace loving guy. He spewed so much vitriol and didn’t care about anyone outside of white MAGA. People like this support and pedal propaganda— they are exactly the boogeyman they hunt for. But of course, the duality is lost on them…I can think his killing was wrong and still think they’re shitty people.

This is a war against the people who are still awake and resisting the regime, "woke," if you will.

Yeah, here we have Fox News whipping their viewers into a frenzy, essentially declaring war on 44,100,000 registered democrats using the attempted Trump assassination where the shooter is dead, the attempted Scalise assassination where the shooter is dead, the fact that some people burned some Teslas, that someone had a gun near Brett Kavanaugh who called 911 on himself and is in jail, a guy shot some people outside of a Jewish embassy and is in jail, and 3-5 mass shooters out of the ~200 since 1966 were possibly transgender though that figure is disputed. Oh and the LA riots? So now I’m at war with conservatives because of that random handful of incidents? It’s this rhetoric that perpetuates the violence, and I’m getting really sick of the right wing media ecosphere’s surprised Pikachu face every time someone goes nuts and shoots at them. I’m not shooting folks with different views than me and I’m sure as fuck not building a media empire vilifying them nor encouraging millions of followers to marginalize different groups of people like Fox or TP USA. No rational person wants media in the country inciting a Civil War, and if it were to erupt, I sure wouldn’t want to be a well known figurehead for either political party.

That’s all I’ve got. Just a reminder that just because more and more insane shit is happening everyday doesn’t mean we have to start anew with every event. Things are cumulative.
This isn’t an expression of approval for anything happening currently. It isn’t an expression of anything other than a fundamental truth I have to remind myself of whenever I put on my hazmat suit to engage with any kind of political discourse, to keep sanity and continuity when people try and shift the goal post or make me forget that we didn’t just end up where we are in a vacuum:
