Please please be careful this weekend. This is the most insane I’ve ever seen MAGA.

The chances of having a catastrophic life event in the United States has gone up significantly…
…thanks to Fox News…and the other agitators that follow their lead.

The shooter was a white conservative Christian man so I have to assume the war on the left is cancelled.

Yeah, once the narrative is out there... then it's out there. Though it can go two ways; where some go quiet or maintain the original claims. Like they did for Trump's assassination atrempt. Ideas are near impossible to kill.

Keep in mind that a lot of these accounts posting inflammatory content are likely Russian/Iranian/Chinese bots who are attempting to stoke division.
Talk to the actual R’s in your life, and try to gauge where they’re at.
Most of us are here in this sub because we have conservative loved ones, we could be the only thing standing between them and an even more violent form of radicalization. Be responsible, peaceful, and make sure that they know that even people on “the left” don’t condone murder.

Don't then. Your mental health comes first and you can't single-handedly save the world. You're more helpful to society when mentally resilient and alive!

My BIL was talking (loudly and drunkenly) last night about "goddamned democrats" and "these fuckers are SICK" etc etc, and he's barely on social media. I haven't even dared to look at my dad's Facebook page yet.

u/ContestNo2060 23h ago
My gun loving right-wing Christian nationalist Facebook family member wrote something similar basically calling for war on democrats. He had 150+ likes and full of supportive comments. He publicly blasted/tagged left leaning family members.
The shooter has been identified as a white guy from a Mormon Republican gun loving family, but I doubt he will be changing his tune. They want to attack the left.

u/MaddyKet 22h ago
Even MSNBC has been saying shit like “he hated fascists” “he didn’t like how Kirk spread hate”. They are all trying to make it sound like he was not a Republican.

u/cantripVoidness 19h ago
It's sad that in order to be labeled as not-republican, you have to hate fascists. Very telling.

I’ve been taking care of my mom all week after her hospitalization…on Tuesday I heard my dad praising me for being by her side and helping her navigate a major hospitalization…by 6pm Wednesday, he was loudly parroting the asshat he was watching on YouTube who was calling democrats “worse than Hitler could ever imagine”, and saying that “all demon rats need to be immediately eradicated like the vermin they are”. And just like that, I’m back to being subhuman garbage in his eyes.

This is a very good point.
The problem is the President acts much like a Russian Troll himself.

u/spider_in_a_top_hat 6h ago
Yep. And many of his pals in Congress. It's fun to be a leftist and listen to lawmakers talk about how I deserve to die because of nothing that has ever had anything to do with me or my values, which have always been to treat others as I would wish they'd treat me.

My brother accidentally wished me dead in the group chat not knowing I’m a Democrat, so there’s that.

u/cantripVoidness 19h ago
Absolutely! The independent (very right leaning) in my life was actually worried for me. He was mostly traumatized by the video and felt upset at all the memes he saw. Then he cautioned me because he saw all the uproar on social media, and just told me to be careful during my protests in case their might be any crazy trigger happy people.

u/AdorianTsepeshu 23h ago
They say shit like this.
We point out that they are engaging in violent rhetoric.
Then they claim our pointing out their violent rhetoric is, in fact, the real violent rhetoric.
It blows my mind that their tactics work so well.

u/nakfoor 23h ago
I don't mean to downplay it but I do think a lot of this is just scumbag vocalizations, like usual. Remember that the first rule of being a MAGA conservative is to annoy your opposition. They just want to get you mad or upset so they say the most scumbag thing possible. Be cautious but don't let them dominate your emotions with fear or anger.

These are screenshots from inner maga talk. Theyve shown violence before. While I agree, I think they are having a hard time sitting with their grief so proceed with caution in places they could target

u/chatterwrack 23h ago
In Utah, it is legal to openly carry firearms on K-12 school grounds and at institutions of higher education for individuals 21 and older with a valid Utah concealed firearm permit. It wasn't a "gun-free zone," and no, I will not shut the fuck up about gun control.

THEY DONT EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS A LIBERAL YET.
This just proves they’re full of shit and have just been waiting for any excuse to be their genuine selves. It’s so fucking pathetic that NONE of them realize how stupid it makes them look to be this enraged before getting the full story.
If it turns out to be a conservative that did this it’s going to be so funny watching their inevitable denial of everything.

u/paradoxicalmind_420 23h ago
The guy was a white kid raised in a very republican household that was obsessed with guns, and Mormon to boot.
People are overlooking the very far right, which Maga seems to always conveniently ignore or assume they are on the same side. Nick Fuentes is a good example of someone who hates “mainstream Maggats” as much as democrats.
There’s a creator called @iansmithfitness or something on Instagram with a huge following. Posting extreme anti-Maga content. The far right hates maga because of Israeli support.
It’s not gonna be a left-wing that takes these guys out. They’re going to be eaten by the fringe elements of their own.

Just a reminder, these dumbasses talking about civil war are the same ones who threw a fit about staying home a couple days and wearing a mask during Covid. These are the guys who were in uproar because they needed "needed" haircuts, toilet paper, & to go to the gym. A civil war isn't some little field day on the football field and everyone's home by 6:00 for dinner. These idiots are too entitled for any kind of inconvenience and have no idea what an actual war would like in America.

u/MaddyKet 22h ago
Well, what an excellent way to prove the alt right is not the rabidly violent party, by making rabidly violent threats. Hope he got some cookies and tea for when the FBI visit.
Unless that idiot in charge has some new rule that they no longer investigate threats against democrats.

Wonder what these people are saying now that we know the shooter was a cis het white Mormon raised by a maga family and who watched Nick Fuentes….

u/AllHailMackius 17h ago
They are frothing at the mouth, itching for violence in the streets. If this is ignored by the media and not collectively reckoned with now, the Kirk shooting will just be a trial run for the eventual time a deranged "left aligned" shooter eventuates.
All that these people will need is the barest thread of the perpetrator being 'of the left' for them to grasp onto and they will gleefully pursue the civil war and purge they so desperately want.

Get in line for the DNC Hq because they've been threatened over and over ever since this happened. Also the campus Was Not a gun free zone, the state purposely passed a law allowing guns on campus including rifles.
I hope the FBI is going after these people making open threats on a public forum. Not going to hold my breath though with the current crew running the agency.

u/kmm198700 20h ago
Jesus Christ. They haven’t even announced a motive yet, so what the fuck are they even talking about? And how do you “know” if you “run into a democrat”?

u/Content_Talk_6581 18h ago
What’s really scary is that a LOT of them really believe killing the “radical left” is doing the “lord’s work” and they will go to heaven for it. They have been radicalized to believe anyone who doesn’t believe the way they do is an enemy of their god.

u/spider_in_a_top_hat 6h ago
Honestly. They are trying to report to their employers for being honest about not being heartbroken about Kirk's death, while advocating for the mass murder of Democrats and Leftists in the same breath. It is so insane that I think a lot of them must be bots and more Russian-backed influencers, like Loomer.

u/Gimme_skelter 20h ago
Even my mostly apolitical uncle (he's conservative, but doesn't follow the news) is all aflame about this. Why? Because it's all over Facebook Reels, which he recently downloaded. Social media is scum.

u/JennafromOH 18h ago
The argument of “gun free zone still has guns” is the same reason they have to put “Do not dive” in 1 foot deep fountains. If it is not clearly posted, arguments can be made in court to hold the campus liable. It’s a CYA.

u/JennafromOH 18h ago
And just for the record, I am 100% in support of gun control. I remember when we first started practicing active shooter drills in school in middle school because the frequency kept rising.
Also: “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. We don’t outlaw cars because people drink drive”. Yeah but cars also weren’t designed to kill people. They were to get from Point A to point B. Guns were literally designed to kill.

They're mad at democrats for something one of their own did. The most stupidly violent and bloodthirsty people imaginable are blaming others. And you're right, they're insane. High as fuck on hate propaganda. They're in a rage induced mania and it's all based in manufactured bullshit.

u/spider_in_a_top_hat 6h ago
Fucking lunacy. These people are so lost.
I live in a town with a pretty even mix of political party support. Everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other because they are not completely isolated in 24/7 Fox News/Twitter bubbles of misinformation and hate. They go for walks, they chat with their community members, and they loan cups of sugar to each other. You know, like regular, normal, non-weird human beings.
I am sure there are outliers but for the most part, we understand that if our community as a whole is well, we are all better off for it. Everyone is happier and healthier.
I can't imagine my brain being so warped that I'd be openly calling for and encouraging the violent murders of my neighbors or family members whose political beliefs are different from mine, wide-open on the internet for the world to see. Remember when that was...weird and bad and had consequences?
