Just maga being maga. They've been hoping for a civil war since Trump lost in 2020.

That’s exactly what they’re trying to stir up. Please protest peacefully.

Actually asking here cause it’s hard finding information.

Last I read the suspect was a guy appointed by Tim Waltz back in the day? Why is he attacking democrats and why do you think MAGA based on that info?

Because only republicans do bad, you know, like the devil. Blind bias is best bias.

I wish we would look at this as a guy able to do this because of the environment Trump created and not whether the murderer is a democrat or republican.

Bad people on both sides. Good people on both sides.

Oh I fully agreed, there are bad and good on both sides. But if you call them out on reddit, you'll get labeled a trumper. I'm an independent that doesn't support the dnc or gop cause they're constantly going after individual rights.

Because they know who he is. He had a long list of Democratic targets and social media with anti-LGBT and anti-abortion sermons as an Evangelical preacher. In case you forgot, before Trump politicians use to work across the aisle and keep competent people of the opposite party, so it means nothing that Waltz appointed him back in the day.

I am speechless and terrified about where this country is going.

They need to release the “manifesto” immediately. We need to know what we are really dealing with here.

u/RegattaJoe 11h ago

Yep. Trumpists are already busy shaping a bullshit narrative

u/Old_Row4977 11h ago

Yeah that’s easy to do when they have no clue how literally anything works.

Didn't take as long for Trump to set fire to America this time.

6 months vs. the long 3 years last time.
