    So glad that Gaza is under worse assault, as is Ukraine, on top of the American home ground being assaulted and raped at every turn. Minorities have been the target for so long, while the feral pigs have ranted and raved about it for so long, this was bound to happen.

    Non-voters, this is on your heads too.

    “Pride flags classified as a terrorist symbol” is not something I had on my bingo card, but in hindsight it probably should have been.

      I briefly considered it, along with calls for mass institutionalization, but thought I was being pointlessly doomer since it’s obviously blatantly unconstitutional, anti-freedom, and too wrong even for MAGA to support.

      we’re… 9 months in? fuck I’m boned.

        Nah the free space has always been bigotry. Bigotry and projection.

        The two free spaces have always been bigotry, projection, and gaslighting.

    Just a reminder that the trans woman didn’t kill anyone. It was the guy raised with the idea that guns are a useful solution to problems.

    During an exchange in the Oval Office, Real America’s Voice correspondent Brian Glenn showed Trump a photo of a trans flag currently on display in Washington, DC, and claimed that “a lot of people are very threatened” by it.

    Dear motherfucker, what are you going to do about those of us who feel threatened by the American Flag?

    Reading this article, I have never in my nearly fifty years of life witnessed anything like this. Jackson is calling to detain all transgender people. Loomer is calling to designate transgender people terrorists.

    These people - I’ll say all conservatives - are so pathetic and dysfunctional that they’re unable to observe reality and deal with it in a responsible manner. Instead, they choose to turn something difficult or uncomfortable into an enemy or a cancer and deal with things as an immature child would - just stop on it.

      Also, who the fuck is actually threatened by trans people? Last I checked they were less than 1% of the population.

      I bet most of these chucklefucks have never even met one.

    the creator of the flag the president said he’d consider banning recently left the US due to fears of persecution under the Trump administration.

    The ones tying transgender to violence probably tried to pick up a transgender once upon a time and got slapped when they tried to SA.

      It’s more that incidences of gun violence and mass shootings are so astoundingly common in the USA that at this point you can find representations of anything in the data, because there’s like 6,000 points of it in the last decade.

      Are there trans mass shooters? Yes, definitely. Are there violent people who endorse democrats or are “leftist”, whatever that means when mass media says it? Yes. But does that change the fact that something like 80+% of domestic bombings and mass shootings done since like 1998 have been committed by right wing nutjobs and religious extremists (and that’s not just code for Islamic extremism, it also includes the many bombings of abortion clinics, the bombing of the Olympics, and the assassinations of abortion providers done by Christian fundamentalists that gets swept under the rug bc we only care about religious extremism when brown people do it).

      But now you’re starting to talk about math and people hate that shit. And even when they don’t the right will handwave away or memory hole tons of stuff. The guy that assassinated the democratic senators doesn’t count, the great replacement shooters don’t count, etc. go on kiwi farms or /pol/ and you’ll literally see people say that there’s only been left wing violence in the us since 2006 or 2008, which is just patently absurd.
