Same reason why tankies don’t just move to China, or why some Canadians had Trump bumperstickers: the point is to take over and wield authority as a weapon. Of course they try to invade and pollute every space they can and muddy waters wherever possible.
This is all because Obama wore a tan suit

Yeah and I’m Krishna
Of course he fits into a tidy narrative: whatever one the right wants. Clearly he’s trans, trans-adjacent, trans-influenced, trans-atlanic who did a bad because the social contagion eroding the social fabric of western (read: cis straight white male-dominated christian) civilization. We knew these facts before Kirk’s body hit the floor.
The rest of the “details” like, reality and evidence or whatever, doesn’t really matter.
…it depends…
“The left can’t meme” is the right’s 3rd and only good joke. The only other two jokes they have is mentioning trans people are a thing and mostly resisting the urge to yell the N word repeatedly in place of a punchline.
… Or any of the rest of the entire world? Western MSM isn’t all that exists. Your (conspiracy-grade) bias is showing and it’s quite embarrassing.
I can’t find anything on this that isn’t either some random medium blog or outlets with well-documented histories of russian propaganda and disinformation campaigns. Sounds like bunk, probably bunk.
It sure fucking feels that way sometimes. I had an argument with one of my parents the other day over the fact that she was completely incapable of understanding any distinction between a war and a genocide. “It’s war; they’re the enemy. You kill the enemy in war” - in direct response to me asking if she was okay with elementary schools being bombed.
Bizarre, surreal, and severely dejecting.
Perhaps being sane in an insane world is a type of insanity all it’s own.

Could pick other things apart but less straight forward and I’m about to go to sleep, so I’ll leave that as an exercise to the reader. Anyways, call it a 50/50 chance. But as I said: it doesn’t really matter.
Given the “hate” quote, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had left leaning beliefs. But does it matter? Conservatives were practically running with the trans-shooter narrative before his body even hit the floor. And for those who aren’t complete fucking morons, most understand that the only people who commit murders like this are mentally unwell which vastly overshadows whatever their voting preferences are.
There’s something to be said for conservative rhetoric appealing to and amplifying such delusional people, which may be why the vast majority of such violence is perpetrated by rightwingers. After all, a sociopathic lack of empathy contributes to both violence and bigoted worldviews. But they’re hardly causal, essential, or exclusive.
A crazy terminally-online white kid with a gun shot a racist fascist asshole dead. The reaction from both the right and the left is influenced very little by any other facts. Some people are sowing chaos and it’s working. Most don’t have the time, ability, capacity, or desire to sort through the mess and evaluate nuances and uncertainties: they’re just running with whatever fits their biases best. Not only does the truth not seem to matter, but what conclusions they’re drawing also doesn’t seem to matter because they already had them. It just nudged everything forward by a notch.
In time, I’m sure they’ll lean all the way reich
We are so back (to the 1900s)
Yeah so is the new testament of the bible but…
Ah yes, a dogmatic conservative religion and the progressive critics of capitalist economic theories; a natural union and group of people that definitely exists…
Never let a good tragedy go to waste. Sanctify evil and call its detractor’s behavior abhorrent. Lie, confuse, dilute, and sow chaos. This is what they do, and they’re well practiced.
97% chance of whoring, 2% chance it’s platonic and they’re just really lonely and socially inept, 1% chance you get a ride in the TARDIS
Bingo. These are the same people who will say that most political violence comes from the left while removing a study showing the opposite: a study about a statistical trend that has been well known and documented for longer than I’ve been alive.
They don’t care. Their beliefs shape shift to fit whatever is most expedient in the moment. They will openly lie to your face, without even trying to hide that it’s a lie while they smile and say they’re being honest. The people who gaslit the nation about project 2025 only to have cabinet members gleeposting about implementing it on social media.
Truth is irrelevant and reality is an inconvenience. Hypocrisy is as dead to them as the corpse of civility they prop up whenever it suits their narrative.
