    the reason people are celebrating (even though we dont even know the shooter’s reason) is because they feel like they have no other course of action other than violence. The right has been fine with violence for a while (see jan 6, the senator that was assinated, kyle rittenhouse, etc…) and now the left is getting more comfortable with it. This will not end well for anyone. I dont agree with the man, he said some vile shit and demonized the “other” to gain political power but anyone celebrating this fails so see the devastation resorting to violence will cause. Some people on the right are already calling for revenge killing. Were at a point of no return and anyone who sees this as a good thing is a fucking idiot.

      I think a lot of us have known this is what it would come to. In 2016 in Trump’s first presidential run, even before the election took place, the writing was already on the wall - this will not end peacefully.

      The cult was fully developed by then. They were already fueled by anger and revenge. Then Covid threw in a curveball, but I guess things are back on track now. The fascist tools were always going to call for violence against “the left” (I’d even argue that they’d been calling for violence all along, just less overtly.) There’s nothing we could have done to stop that - fascists gonna fasc.

      I don’t know about you, but to me it just feels like the other shoe is finally dropping. It merely took 9 years to get here.
