JD Vance says school shootings are a "fact of life"

Countries ranked in descending order by number of school shootings from 2009-2018:

United States: 288
Mexico: 8
South Africa: 6
Afghanistan: 3
Brazil, Canada, France: 2
Azerbaijan, China, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Kenya, Russia, Turkey: 1

One of these is not like the others. This isn't exactly a fact of life in other parts of the world.

Per capita?
- Population of the US: 330m
  Brazil: 200m
  South Africa: 62m
  Afghanistan: 40m
  Mexico: 100m
  Still not looking so great.
That's all just shooting, right, not generally a violence situation in a school?

"Facts of life"

In the US...yes. Those are facts of life.

Trump gets shot at and the country says there is no room for political violence, we wish him well. Children get shot every single day, that’s just a matter of life, child-sized coffin sales sky-rocket.

But really, why aren’t more politicians being shot? I think if they were the targets instead of innocent children, gun reform would be both swift and severe.

Now, I’m not saying that political violence is acceptable, but I’m certainly not not saying it.

Becauss the people who go out and try to solve their problems with violence on a scale that would give us that pattern are the republican base. There are plenty of examples outside of that group, obviously, but even the guy who tried to shoot Trump had been a republican until very shortly before the attempt.

The state of everything is so fucked for my brain to even go this direction... But your comment made me think the following:
Well, in their (the conservative's) heads, yes. A dead kid isn't one that will grow up and eventually vote against them and their hateful ideologies after being around the same things that conservatives demonize.
Edit: Not implying that conservatives want children dead. (That is clearly not the case given their stance on contraception and women's reproductive rights.) But, that they don't care about kids dying to gun's, because "MUh 2nD amendmEnT RigHTS shAn't be INFRIngeD uPoN", and that they view children that have attended these drag events as having been indoctrinated and mentally harmed/abused. That scares them more.
- Comedian Geoffrey Asmus said something like, "I don't understand why Republicans are anti-abortion. Isn't abortion just dead liberals?"

Notice how Vance and the other right-wing pricks don't apply the same reasoning to abortion. Nope, in THAT case they can come up with law after law after law to address the issue. When it comes to the lives of children already here? Pfffttt... perish the thought and the child.

Yeah, in the United States. Not in other western countries. Wonder why, JD? Maybe because it's a "fact of life" that's created and sustained by people like you...

Conservatism is a deadly cancer that needs to be eradicated to save humanity. There is no place in a modern culture for toxic, hate-based ideologies like conservatism. That's just a fact of life.

School shootings (and JD Vance) are symptoms of a diseased society.

A fact of American life because of idiotic gun policy.

JD Vance is a couch fucking sociopath.

No, no it isn't.

-residents of like 98% of the rest of the world

Just as natural as love between a man and a couch.

.... in America. Fixed that for you

“You cat ladies just need to make more babies to replace the children killed by gunfire in schools,” said the not insane guy who wants to rule the country and women’s bodies under Project 2025.

Jokes aside, Trump is clearly falling apart. The Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society have gone all-in on Vance. He’s the real would-be dictator. Once elections become rigged at the federal level, he will be President and your vote won’t matter.

Fact of American life.

at a time like this, a leader should use their pulpit to rally people, make them believe in progress, and cushion the blow.

this guy just blows the cushion.

He's unfortunately correct. For the wrong reason tho

It is an inherent part of US life. But the rest of the world is proving that it is definitely not part of life in general.

So are corrupt, do nothing, hot air spewing politicians. Weird coincidence?

This can only improve Harris's odds in Georgia, right? I mean this certainly a renewed sense of purpose to turn out and vote for Georgian Democrats who we know if they turn out they win.

I'd say "what the fuck" but I'm not even surprised that he said this. Bro is scum.

So my take away here is that JD Couchfucker here is saying neither he or Trump are powerful enough to do anything. Is that really the message you want to be sending during your campaign for the highest office in America?

"Fact of life", Shay Dee Vance is a mentally underdeveloped humanoid. Another, "fact of life" - there is a lot of profit and money to grease politician's hands in those look-alike military gun sales for LARPERS.

Can... you do something about it?

They have a comprehensive two-pronged approach, they start with thoughts and immediately follow up with prayers, but for the sake of efficiency, they don't actually think or pray.
- No, no, the thought is "They're just a liberal crisis actor trying to take away the one thing that makes me feel cool and powerful because my life is a heap of dogshit," then they pray for you to go to hell. Easy!

Queue the 1980s TV "Facts of Life" theme song parodies.

Maybe Lindsay "no joy in real life" Graham is so joyless because of all the JD Vance-sponsored school shootings.

In case anyone still had doubts that all of their "won't somebody think of the children!" bullshit was just political theater.

JDV is a scumback prick. That's just a fact of life. Our country is an anomaly among developed nations and there's absolutely no way to change it. Just wait until a school shooting happens where one of these assholes sends their kids. Will it still be a fact of life?

Jk. None of these pricks send their kids anywhere where these things happen.

What a coward.
