Do we need to mention that they were both democratic politicians? Many of us would love to see the list of the others he was going to kill. I'm sort of thinking they were all Democrats.
if they were a Republican it would be screamed everywhere about how liberals are using violence
I think it was the Pro Left that had a recent podcast about how the Democrats are set up as the balancing force that is always put into the position of an abused housewife that must mollify the crazy alcoholic husband, which is the Republicans.
Pretty apt metaphor, and I'm not doing it justice, but it's pretty much considered "normal" for Republicans to do and say nearly anything, and then everyone blames the Democrats for making the Republicans do what they do...it's all DARVO.
Apparently, they're still screaming about how liberals are using violence. Nucking futz.
Yeah, the tone I am seeing in conservative spaces about this has shifting to the gunman being a CIA operative to smeer conservatives.
"LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!"
it was, there was a list being mentioned on a subreddit, it includes tim walz, and others, plus abortion workers.
The article said his hit list included about 70 targets, ALL Democrats.
This morning's update identified him as a part-time pastor and a part-time military contractor. Sure sounds like a raging conservative to me.
