    I’m sorry, but you’re hopeless.

    The shooter being a “leftist” is obviously all you care about. Not the truth. Not what’s legal. It doesn’t matter at all to you that the FBI literally lied about the shooter being a leftist before they even caught the real guy.

    Do you not understand how that means they are willing to lie to you about anyone being a leftist before there’s evidence?

    Do you not understand that anything Trumps team calls left you’ll just hate without thinking about it? Do you not understand how you’ve literally already proven this is the case with Kirks shooter? It’s also painfully obvious why you can’t bother to admit how much Trump lies.

    Because then you might understand how many innocent people have already been punished simply because Trump lied about them being leftist / illegal / bad to you just to get votes.

    Literally thousands of examples of this exist by the way.

    It would be great if you could actually care about this, instead of the snowflake reaction you’re having about Kimmel.

    But it does explain why this country has gone to shit. Because you let TV tell you who the bad guys are, and didnt bother to make sure TV wasn’t lying to you about it. So now Americans are the bad guys, and you’re okay with that because they’re “leftists”.

    Trump can now say whatever he wants and you will believe it as true without ever checking. Hell, you’ll even defend his lies now. Just as you have with the removal of the DOJ report on violent right wing extremism.

    Here’s two more Independant studies all proving the data in the deleted report was true: (Which in turn proves you defended the lie about the data being poor before checking to see if was true.)

    we find that radical acts perpetrated by individuals associated with left-wing causes are less likely to be violent. In the United States, we find no difference between the level of violence perpetrated by right-wing and Islamist extremists. However, differences in violence emerge on the global level, with Islamist extremists being more likely than right-wing extremists to engage in more violent acts.

    Extremist-related killings in recent years have primarily been committed by far-right extremists. Mass shootings caused a substantial portion of those deaths. The white supremacist mass shooter who attacked Latinos at a Walmart in El Paso in 2019, killing 23 people, was responsible by himself for almost half of the 51 extremist-related deaths that year. The lower numbers since then can substantially be attributed to fewer far-right mass killing events (with numerous planned incidents prevented by law enforcement) and fewer deaths at some that did occur. One must travel back to the year 2000, which saw nine killings committed by far-right extremists, to find a lower number of deaths from right-wing extremists than the 13 in 2024.

    The above is true, do you agree? Yes or no answer is all you need. Prove you care about the truth more than Trump by admitting what he won’t.
