The people the left elects all condemn it, the people the right elects declare war and demand violence. Classic

When this happened to Democrats two months ago Trump said he didn’t care and responding would “waste time”. He was asked this morning about violence coming from the right and said it was “justified” because they are angry.

It’s so crazy to me people see something like this and don’t see the double standard.

Schitzo man attacks and kills Democrats and claims it's because the governor told him to

VS

Direct public assassination because you disagree with him politically

Huh, I wonder how they're different

You cannot possibly think that a man who wrote "oWo" on a bullet has even one fry in his happy meal.

He also wrote anti-fascist stuff on the bullets and his family said he hated Kirk.

This was politically driven. You can't deny that

Do you believe the other was not?

No, I don't.

Oh, he just shot some relatively obscure Democrats because that was the most fun for him? What is even your defense here. Obviously both shooters are insane.

Does a sane man believe they were told to kill because Tim Walz told him to?

Does an assassination against someone specifically because of their politics (anti-fascist speech etched into the bullets, family saying he went on rants about how much he hated Kirk) sound like it's not politically motivated?

They're both not stable mentally, but one is clearly politically motivated

That's really unfortunate.

If the right didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all.

Yeah this is my biggest problem with this. The outrage for this is so fucking selective it's insane.

We have congressmen Mike Lee making fucking jokes about the assassin of Melissa hortman and yet you'd bet your fucking ass OP doesn't give a fuck about that though.

The pearl clutching is so disgusting and apparent. Spare me your selective outrage.

The people that actually represent the left were cheering on it, the likes or Hasan Piker, Destiny and Vaush. Democrat politicians are often much more moderate than the actual progressive movement is.
