    i know it gets forgotten but the shooter in evergreen was also a white cis male radicalised conservative with white supremacist and anti semitic views who glorified columbine.

    I don’t know who did it. But every patron yesterday at my bar who was spouting off or saying enough is enough, or what is this world coming to, yada yada yada were all real quiet about the whole thing today.

    It was a blessed night. Busy. My body is screaming at me. But there was no political talk. Everyone was behaving themselves and besides the one dude I had to kick out yesterday showing up again, it was all around much better.

    It almost hurts restraining myself from saying “where’s all that shit talking now? Enough is still enough, right!? RIGHT?”

    But when I’m working, I’m working. Maybe one day I’ll get to be the drunk idiot.

    How are they spinning this now? Will they say that “the shooter didn’t disagree with Kirk’s ideology, therefore this was not ‘politically motivated violence’, and also this must mean nothing is wrong with Kirk’s hate speech.” Then they dismiss the kid as being mentally ill, and everyone move along, nothing more to see here.

    Or maybe he was secretly trans Muslim antifa, and that they are hiding amongst them in their own ranks. That would be kind of funny. Though it would end up getting more dangerous.

    Or they have a better spin?

    A fucking Groyper too. Fucking love it.

    Authoritarian rule is always threatened by other authoritarians.

    It’s a mental illness. That’s the only way authoritarianism can actually be a thing. It has to be a mental illness.

    Let’s gloat about this.

    The “unhinged radicals” this whole time have been the Republicans scaring people with totally unfounded claims of a trans uprising, calling to use the government to silence the left, getting people fired for posting that Kirk kinda had it coming, fighting each other at vigils, chanting “white men fight back”.

    And this whole time we kinda knew it wasn’t the left. That this moronic clown wasn’t worth wasting perfectly good bullets on. We just waited for everyone to find out.
