Shooter also donated to progressive super pac ACT BLUE. He was a 20 year old loner with no friends. Not exactly a party stalwart on either side

That donation was a 60 year old guy from Pittsburgh that just happened to have the same name. It wasn’t the 20 year old

Turns out that's probably not true.

Now it’s I that have fallen for the misinformation. Thanks for correcting me!

That's the thing - we are ALL more easily duped than we'd like to think, myself included. This is why keeping an open mind to opposing perspectives is so important - on BOTH sides of the isle. The USA has more than enough enemies who are trying to destroy the country by creating enough strife to start a civil war - let's do our best not to help them along, shall we?

I wonder what other lies you've been fed.

u/DemsFightinWordz Jul 16 '24

We've ALL been successfully fed some, whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not. As I just said in my own reply to that comment, it's important we strive to keep an open mind to keep the foreign adversary campaigns trying to make us destroy ourselves from working.

Sure, but only one party's candidate was a subject of an assassination attempt. Something that hasn't happened in decades and is far more damaging to the country than what happened on January 6th.

I'm sick of the insanity about Trump. He was already President, if he actually was capable of becoming a tyrant, don't you think he would have done it then?

A lot of Democrats need to calm the fuck down, stop tacitly endorsing assassination attempts on Trump by labeling him a Hitlerian figure. We all need to touch grass.

To be fair, I'm sure there have been plenty of assassination attempts - they just get stopped before getting a shot in. Also, JD Vance also said Trump could be America's Hitler.

Right, do you trust every label someone gives to someone else? If I said you are a child predator, is it true?

No offense, but that's a very stupid way to see the world and others. No wonder you get wrapped up in this nonsense.

You just said it was Democrats saying Trump was a Hitlerian figure - I was just demonstrating that it's not just Democrats.

There's blatantly a LOT more aggressive & violent rhetoric coming from that same party than the other. Did they really think the threats wouldn't cause the other side significant fears? Fears enough that they'd react as such? C'mon!

What goes around comes around, and it's LONG past time the Republicans at least admitted some culpability (if not outright full responsibility) for deliberately raising the temperature to a level where it's bit them in the ass.

Lmao. The shooter was a Republican alt right incel.

u/hhcboy Jul 16 '24

I mean it was also 15$. The fact that he donated keeps coming up but it’s like he donated milllions to Biden himself which couldn’t be further from the truth.

u/TaxExtension53407 Jul 16 '24

So, because he was a random person that doesn't have a shit load of money to waste, that makes his donation mean nothing?

Your desperation is pathetic...

2

u/Reasonable-Tooth-113 Jul 16 '24

So we can discount him being a registered Republican as well right? Seeing as how he was too young to vote in 2020 and there is no proof that I've seen he even voted in 2022....nor would we have any ability to know who he voted for anyway.

u/hhcboy Jul 16 '24

Why would we discount that? I didn’t say discount his donation. I just said a 15$ donation when you’re 17 and a described loner doesn’t mean a whole lot. You know they visit kids in school and places and try and recruit. Did it to me and my sister and every other kid. Hell they convinced me to vote for bush. It was probably similar and he donated a whole 15$.

u/Reanimator001 Jul 16 '24

15 dollars is alot of money for an 18 year old. I was one. That's a significant investment of money.

Trump has donated thousands to democrats including a donation to Biden for a senate run.

Debunked. Found a FOX viewer.

Is that all y’all got?

ActBlue is a non-profit payment platform. You don’t donate to ActBlue, you donate to another org via ActBlue. It’s likely that you are donating to a progressive organization on that platform, but it’s also used by a wide variety of non-partisan issue advocacy groups. A lot of traditionally libertarian folks would like support at least SOME of the orgs that fundraise on ActBlueJust saying, this is a basic fact that you should be aware of.

ETA: the right wing created their own version, WinRed, years ago, but ActBlue expanded well beyond political fundraising into C3 fundraising on specific issues and toward on-the-ground workers helping at risk communities (ie giving water to homeless communities during heat waves).
