So the “friend” who was the only public source to claim he was a leftist, has now been retracted.
Discord also said the rumor about leftist groups/messages on Discord were not true.
The DSA shirt picture was proven to be not him.
The DSA rally speaker was (clearly) not him and proven to be someone else.
So every statement of left wing affiliation has been incorrect.
But they want you to believe one *online* semester at a right wing leaning school (that even has a Mormon studies program) that was years ago “radicalized” him.
Even though he then went on to spend 3 years at a blue collar trades school.
Come on now!
Let’s grow the hell up, and start actually addressing these issues c so we can have a safer country, rather than trying to do mental gymnastics bs.
Cause the reality is, 22 year old white male Christian Mormon, at a trade school, in rural Utah, who is a gun enthusiast, wears a Trump costume and is in a MAGA family, owns a Mauser, wears a wounded veterans America flag t shirt, and calls people “gay” as an insult - is not going to be a “leftist”
He grew up on a pipeline of Fox News and gun shows, was clearly mentally unwell and indoctrinated, and did something heinous.
And until we can talk about that frankly and pragmatically, we will never be able to take the steps needed to health this country and make it safer in the future.
If you actually wanted to *honor* Kirk, like many of MAGA say they do, then address the damn issues that led to this, instead of trying to scapegoat and use his death as a pawn in entirely unrelated political agendas.
Keep messaging your delicate sensibilities by telling yourself you aren't a snowflake. No one said you were off topic, I said you ignored the commentary because bad words hurt your feelings. That is 100% a you problem. I guess gargling metaphorical mango walnuts all day does turn your brain to mush.
Well considering your whole reply just ignores the facts of this thread makes it seem like you are a "fibber". You're the one so focused on the language used that you seem to ignore the commentary behind that language. In fact you found it so offensive that you've expressed surprise at not blocking me. So yes, you're a snowflake because big bad words hurt your precious MAGA feel feels.
@JustTheFacts_68@WUTangKids The photos aren't anything out of the norm but the video ad linked to this campaign seems to be what people have the most issue with. Same thing goes with the new Dunken Doughnut commercial.
