They havent even caught the shooter... they dont even know they are a leftist.
They could be, likely are, but it doesnt matter. If it turns out to have been someone on the right or someone from outside the US political spectrum it will be swept under the rug.
The right are hijacking this to spread propaganda. Utter bollocks
WSJ published a story this morning reporting that “sources” claim they found a hunting rifle in the woods and unspent ammo that had “trans and antifa ideology” written on them.
If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is.
Almost as ridiculous as when that guy said trump was an FBI informant on epstine.... this administration is as dumb as they think the people are.
Well they're right. Whatever they say, the right buys.
WSJ is a mouthpiece of Trump. No US medium except for the Jacobin is to be trusted.
It's not even likely. I was born in 1980 there have been thousands of mass shootings since then in the US. Two of the shooters in the last 45 years had leftist tendencies. The vast majority of them were hard line right wingers.
My money is and forever will be on right winger mad about how quickly Kirk got in line on Epstein.
I mean, in the collage is this one guy who talks about the attempt on Trump. That guy was a Republican. I mean, it is not news, but they do not care about facts.
I noticed on Reddit. Within a half hour boys and Fox News along with other right wing voices were already pushing a very extreme anti leftist propaganda across the board. Before he was even announced dead and obviously before anyone even knew who the shooter was.
It was so wild to see it happen live as if it was an ad campaign that was planned for release.
It won't matter at that point either. They started telling a story from the start and the amount of times it gets repeated in pursuit of their ambitions will eclipse the truth when it comes out. It isn't like they're all going make posts saying, 'Zoinks guys we were wrong. It wasn't the dems like we've been saying with no evidence because it was convenient, for all these weeks. Put the torches and pitchforks down.' the narrative lives on long after the facts become known. It's literally why facts in media actually mattered at one point.
They're going to convict a trans person.
They are using it to advocate for significantly more violence. I don't really want to advocate for violence but what else can you do if people are trying to remove your rights?
Oh yeah, blockades and general strikes would be a good one to try first. Fuck, even property damage is better than killing people.
For whatever reason it's near impossible to act as a group in this country. The bigger the movement the bigger the target and oligarchy rallies and kills it in it's crib. The economic and propaganda stranglehold is too tight.
And so individual acts that can be planned and executed under the oligarchy's radar (like what happened yesterday) are seemingly the only things left.
That's why they are pushing the surveillance shit hard.
Ukraine has shown just how easy it is to blow up an oil refinery if you wanted to protest against the Russian fossil fuel industry.
