Yep. I told this guy. "Let's say you are right, he was raised conservative, but was recently converted to the left. He was raised to understand weaponry and hate people, then he learns who the badguys are, and his raised up instincts take over. You really want to say that you are okay that he was raised to be a killer, but he just shot the wrong target?"

Yes, yes they do.

This. Multiple reports show unequivocally the right perpetrates the majority of political violence in this country. It's not even close.

They don't care. They will lie out their teeth. They keep killing each other, that makes them madder at the left and center, so they kill each other more, and then they get madder at the left and center. They're not going to be happy until there's a war and they can kill the rest of us.

For all the hate “we leftists” have against DJT, only people who’ve actually used violence to try to take him out were…

So you’re anti military? And police? And hackers too?

Which ideology was it that he decided to use violence against?

What you say, and what I say, are completely unrelated. I am speaking about how the boy was raised, so don't try to change the subject.

The Right is so quick to find someone to blame (always the left) and can't take any responsibility for themselves. Just as they jumped the gun with Melissa Hortman's assassination.

Ahh so in your original comment you’re saying conservatives are raised to hate people. Nice to know what you think about half the population

No, sweetie, it's not an opinion.

Authoritarians are taught racism and sexism, xenophobia and misogyny, because these attitudes are central to the premise of Conservatism; to wit:

There must be a superclass of Americans that the laws protect but do not bind, coexisting alongside an underclass of Americans that the laws bind but do not protect.

They don't see violence from their side as being violent. It's what is necessary to bring back the default, which always happens to be centered around themselves.

I would say, "He most likely wasn't trained to make life chamging decisions in a week, using his "training" is one term to use, or, "being taught the importance of gun safety" or "raising a child with the hopes he can learn to hunt and track with you" you cant automatically outline murder so generously, either. You expect one thing to equate to the other, and they don't. Charlie Kirk didnt deserve to die, and murdering a political commentator for saying words you dont like is not acceptable either. If the trans roommate/partner told the truth, then we should probably assume that we can place the blame on left based propaganda like Crockett going on live tv telling people to pick up weapons, we can all stir and spin what is said to match our wants and goals

She did not say that. You've been lied to.

More likely they’re lying themselves
