I'm more amused than I really should be about how they are eating their own now. Unless I'm misremembering, none of the three have been lefties of any stripe.
I don’t want to give any sovcits any credit at all but trumps recent rhetoric is so openly authoritarian that some of them might have actually realized the face eating leopard is a threat to them too
Edit: I can’t believe I just thought of this, but these could also be folks that hopes to start a civil war because they either believe it’s inevitable, are obsessed with the Turner Diaries, or both.
What's the Turner Diaries?
A white supremacist fever dream fanfiction in which American whites rise up under white supremacy and slaughter all people of color and "race traitors" in the country on the oft-cited "Day of the Rope." It culminates with the movement taking control of the US nuclear arsenal and taking their holocaust international.
And this is what lead up to the Oklahoma City bombing in the 90s.
All three were Republicans.
Violence breeds violence.
But in the end it has to be this way
I thought that one kid was a registered Republican, but his political beliefs were unknown. He also donated to some left-wing group, didn't he?
His motives are still "under investigation".
His political activities include social media comments that "appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes" and "espouse political violence". Pretty shit political beliefs, if you want to call them that.
Throw a dart at a board full of conservative voters and you'll hit one with these same types of social media comments in their history. All this tells me is "he was a conservative that spoke online".
Thank you! That's news to me.
