There are people in this thread who are literally claiming it is disturbing that the boards conservatives aren’t specifically condemning this attack. It’s, pardon my language, absolutely ****ing ridiculous.
Why on earth would anyone assume that I don’t find this attack horrific? Why do I need to expressly condemn it it to appease anyone? It’s obviously awful. I shouldn’t have to literally type that out
Its ****ing ridiculous.
I’m tired of going the extra mile to confirm that I’m not the caricature that some people here think I am.
And to be clear, it goes the other way as well. I’m not solely blaming liberals.
Something is seriously broken with the political discourse in this country. I’m sick of it.
You're not a victim, just stop it.
In my post I stated that based on the attackers social media footprint, well he was basically aligned with Massuta who is definitely not a lib. He's an alt right extremist who is a massive Trump supporter (more a Michael Flynn idolist) who believes he is a 'patriot'.
That's been festering in the right for years.
So when one right wing nutjob goes out and violently attacks a prominent liberal...and it's met on here not with contrition but diversion, conspiracy and malaise?
Yeah you're not the victim. The libs are the real victim here.
I stated that there is a violent streak festering in the right and you said horseshit.
With no rebuttal.
I jab back with what's currently going on at drop boxes (and I bet will be going on at polls in a little over a week) and you go full victim.
I'm sorry man. You aren't the target of violence here. You're not the victim.
I just want the right to wake up.
Again very pleased with the response of Republican leaders.
I'm pretty disgusted by the response from the right on this board.
