A right wing nutjob, killed by the follower of a right wing nutjob, who thinks that the first right wing nutjob was not right wing enough and that he deserved to die because of it. That damned radical left!

Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the ~~Jews~~ Communists, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.

And lobbying hard to keep regulations out of their way

I mean, that's very likely. And at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was a false flag either

And very likely that the shooter was a Republican. They're just looking for an excuse to go full Nazis on the "opposition"

Not wishing death to anyone, but reading some obituaries with great pleasure

A lot worse, Jesus can't be weaponized. Oh, wait...

The Vth Republic is done, it was not great when it was introduced, and then it got twisted and corrupt. It's extremely vulnerable to bad faith actors and one president (let's say a far right one, for instance) would send us into an authoritarian dictatorial nightmare in no time. All the previous administrations paved the way for this to happen smoothly and it might actually happen in 2027.

We really need to move on, and get a new constitution as soon as humanely possible.

It's Republicans, so of course it's about voter suppression. It's never been about preventing fraud.

Mandating voter ID is good, but only after making sure that getting an ID is free and accessible to everyone. Otherwise it's just voter suppression.

If the country survives, what they should do is rip the whole thing apart and start again. Like a second republic with a new constitution or something. There is no coming back from what's happening with the institutions.
