Current Events > Republicans were drooling over the shooting being a trans person and now

(+) Yeah! (+)

they just like "... move on"

Yep.

Ally.
Repubs dont really use that word, but I havent heard them, at least not the majority, say they expected the shooter to be an actual trans person. Pretty sure they were anticipating it would be a white dude (those pesky stats), and hed be either a commie or LGBTQ ally.

They're dying for a chance to go even harder on stealing rights away from LGBTQ+ people when that's basically all they do these days anyway.

The sad part is "move on" is the good Republican ending

Plenty are STILL blaming trans people for no reason

Not just blaming, but threatening. There's one person in particular who has been getting actual death threats over it. Only a few have started to scrub their timelines

Are they really moving on?

They're not moving on. They're posting AI generated images of this guy wearing LGBTQ+ patches and DSA shirts.

The bullets had TRN on it - which was a brand stamp from the manufacturer - and they thought "ZOMG HE PUT TRANS ON IT"

The side who is crazy about guns has no idea how guns work.

Ironically, Democrats have had more genuine sympathy and condolences for Kirk and his family than Republicans. Kirk's death is nothing but an opportunity for Republicans (and other lunatics like Musk) to point fingers at the people that they don't like and shout their calls for violence. Trump was dancing at a Yankees game the following day and brushing off a question about Kirk to talk about his new ballroom.

I have seen the right become extremely defensive over the smallest thing. They responded to logic and argument with "You're evil! You're the devil!" They are insane....especially since these people have not mourning dead children...

when MAGA believes a shooter is a trans, Antifa leftist vs when they find out they're one of their own:

Uh... given the time stamp on that first one, I don't think it was about Kirk's killing, given that it was posted more than 12 hours before the shooting happened.

umm no

they are still holding on to he was a leftist

for example right now it has been reported someone anonymously called in to say they went to his highschool and he was a crazy leftist

from the guardian

Suspect's high school classmate says Robinson was the only 'leftist' in a family of 'very hard' Republicans
Anna Betts
In a phone interview on Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was pretty left on everything and was the only member of his family that was really leftist.
The rest of his family was very hard Republican, the friend said.
Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would always just be ranting and arguing about them.
The friend said that they played video games together a lot in high school and noted that the bullet engraving with the arrows was a reference to Helldivers 2 which we mentioned earlier. He said that the arrows specifically were in reference to calling in a big bomb that exists in the game called the 500 kilogram.
When the friend saw the news on Friday, he said that he was shocked. I knew he [Robinson] had strong political views, but I never thought it would even go near that far.
The friend said that he has not spoken to Robinson in years and began to drift apart toward the end of high school. Another high school classmate separately told the Guardian that the friend and Robinson were close in school and would play video games.

found from said conservatives

smells like bullshit

We have additional reporting from Tyler Robinsons high school associate who played video games with the suspected gunman.

The friend, who asked to remain anonymous, said Robinson had expressed sentiments to him that were critical of Donald Trump when they were hanging out several years ago despite the rest of his family being broadly conservative in their views.

The friend acknowledged he could not be certain about Robinsons more recent political views, as they lost touch after graduating Pine View high school. Voting records show Robinson was unaffiliated with a political party ahead of the 2024 election. His parents were registered Republicans.

maybe he didn't like Trump but that doesn't make him a leftist but to a MAGA nutjob it would

Every single person who tried to use this as a cudgel against the political left should be forced to answer for it in every public forum they're in for the rest of their careers. Unfortuantely, none of them will so much as be asked so much as a single question about it under our completely useless media environment

This is the best case scenario. Now they are still calling for blood and this will still lead to attacks had the shooter been a PoC or trans, or gay it would have been far far worse.

It's hardly the only option for Mancy Nace saying something idiotic and violent in the first hours, it's just most of those were sound bites instead of xcreets.

The Alt-Reich being hypocrites is nothing new.

In an interview on Fox & Friends on Friday morning, the US president was asked what he intended to do to heal the wounds of Kirks shooting in Utah. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together? he was asked by the shows co-host Ainsley Earhardt, who commented that there were radicals operating on the left and right of US politics.

Less than 48 hours after Kirk was shot in broad daylight on the campus of Utah Valley University, Trump replied: I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldnt care less.

He went on: The radicals on the right are radical because they dont want to see crime The radicals on the left are the problem and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in womens sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders. The worst thing that happened to this country.

Trumps refusal to seek a common bipartisan way forward at a time of profound national anger, fear and mourning was a stunning move for a sitting US president, even by his standards.

They're just going to blame trans people. Reality doesn't matter

It's literally a meme.

"And just like that, Republicans don't care about (_________) any more."

Also,

BASK in the naked fucking STUPIDITY OF THIS STATEMENT.

He went on: The radicals on the right are radical because they dont want to see crime

...
Look at that. Just LOOK AT IT.

"They commit murder because they don't want to see crime." Fuckin' awesome take, grandpa. Yet another statement worthy of nothing but open clowning if ever uttered in a crowd that MAGA will be nodding along with like the empty-headed fuckwits that they are.

Can...can we be done with this now? Please? Can someone step out from behind a bush in a Punk'd shirt, stand next to Trump and say "Haha, just kidding folks, we sure got you good! And now back to normalcy."? Please?

He's just...so...embarrassing. Imagine SUPPORTING THAT NOW. HOW FUCKING PATHETIC ARE THESE PEOPLE!? IS THERE NO BOTTOM!?
