Your callous, "thoughts and prayers" was all you ever thought those children's lives were worth.

Trump has convinced them to 'fight' their fellow Americans for some unknown 'freedoms' they think they're losing. Mostly freedom to religiously oppress those they disagree with, and freedom to be racist bigots.

The Puritans were religiously oppressed into leaving England for the New World. That is what we were all taught as children. This kind of bullshit is why the English didn’t want them around anymore.
-
So can we push them off to the next place then? We're mostly out of unpopulated landmasses now though, so maybe offer them a nice flotilla of plastic drums and rusted-out truck beds in international water somewhere??

I once heard a comedian joke about how America was a country founded by people that were too uptight for fucking ENGLAND. And fuck me if it ain't the truth.

Have you ever noticed how some Puritan beliefs parallel with Jehovah Witnesses?

In the very same breath, he said "I'm not a Christian." So you think some of his religious supporters would be concerned. But I guess when your cult leader says something that doesn't agree with your view of the world, you don't change your view, you just ignore it.

You'd think they'd be concerned about the repeated instances of adultery, lying, thievery, bigotry, and idolatry. Then again, when offered the choice between Jesus and the criminal, the angry mob chose the criminal. So maybe they're not that far off brand.

Anyone who displays the Gadsden flag then votes for Trump is an absolute troglodyte.

Any time I can plug the Viagra boys I will. Fuck you Troglodytes.

It does! So naturally we must condemn all violence, because if there was a good faith "second amendment person" who would pop off at an aspiring tyrant, that would be too much.

You needn't any moral virtue to condemn assassinations. Assassinations are stupidly ineffective political tools. Especially if you're trying to change the social order instead of enforce it.
Right wing people have been accusing me of hypocrisy for condemning the attempt on Trump's life while considering him a threat to the country. But that argument assumes that political violence works. (which says more about how they think than I)

If he would have died, he would have been raised up as a martyr. Martyrdom can be way more dangerous in the greater scheme imo
-
My goal wasn't to promote violence, in case that needs a disclaimer. We have no dispute here
-
Right wing people ... assume that political violence works. (which says more about how they think than I)
I guess that's why the shooter himself was one of those right wing people, huh? It's almost like people who aren't right wing tend to disagree with people who are right wing, like there are fundamental ideological differences or something 🤔
Killing people is bad. That's nearly universally agreed upon. I'm not sure why it surprises people when we say "we don't support killing people, even when it's people we don't agree with."

I'm going to leave this here so I can come back and laugh at all the gun nuts that are going to blow a gasket

It only means that one person's tyrant is just another person's president. The only tyrant they want is one that agrees with them.

When Trump gets shot, they wear ear bandages to support the former President.
When children get shot, they wear rifle pins to support gun rights.
Well duh. They care about every kind of Donald Trump, but only certain kinds of children. Their children? Yeah, usually. Theoretical future children in the form of fertilized eggs, embryos, fetuses? Totally, moreso than their host mothers even! Children who might be exposed to knowing that LGBTQ+ people exist? Oh, holy fuck, won't somebody think of the children?! All other forms of children? The milkest, toastest of milquetoast reactions to anything happening to them. They would willfully sacrifice those children on purpose to score political points, so of course they aren't mourning them when these kids are lost passively.
