    Only a DNC bot would post this. A real human wouldn’t pull a random, obscure story from Ohio and attribute it to all Republicans. This is just a DNC bot posting the daily slam on the GOP.

    Yeah. A bit off topic. Sounded better in my head, but I feel my point is valid. ;)

    Killing yourself because you're unwilling to get a vaccine =/= being murdered by a crazy person because of your political beliefs.

    Not comparing them directly. Just that these threads often become indictments on large groups. That isnt fair, just like most folks dont want antivaxers to die.

    But the grave dancers should probably sit this out

    No. Of course not, I never said it did.

    I get it. I was making a (poor) point about generalization.

    The number of Republicans spreading the "election was stolen" lies and, those that just look the other way as it happens, all play a part. The shooter was probably mentally ill, but your team is pushing these people into doing these things with your party's continued lying.

    First of all, I'm not sure 'nuanced' is the right word. The differences are little more clear cut that that.
    Second, let's not blame all conservative brains for this little bit of weirdness, just Tilly's. :cool:

    And your team releases criminals so they can continue to vandalize, pillage and plunder, push women in front of moving subways.
    Fun game.

    Deranged dude literally killed a neighbor who belonged to a political party he doesn’t like, juiced up by nonsense he probably read online, heard on talk radio, or possibly even at a church. But yeah, let’s be sure not to “demonize” the right wing hate mongers who feed into what put him there.

    This “both sides are guilty” crap at this stage carries about as much weight as “thoughts and prayers” after a mass shooting. It’s cringe. It’s not even virtue signaling, at this point it seems more like a coping mechanism only explainable by psychiatrists.

    Obviously a crazy man. Just like the crazy person who shot through the candidate's parents' house in North Carolina or the person who beat a canvasser for Rubio in Florida.

    We need to tone down the rhetoric on both sides and get back to hating Seminoles!

    Do you need to see the map showing incidents of RW violence, LW violence, and Islamic violence in the US again? Spoiler alert: far more acts by RWs.

    guess it’s tempting fate to wear new high tops. People used to get shot for that. Barely made the news. Hope the bad guys in all of them get executed.

    Politicians are liars. Almost every single one.

    It’s only one kind of violence tracked. There is lots of violence not associated with politics so your map doesn’t tell the full story.

    That's correct but you set the dichotomy as your crazies vs our crazies. Don't blame you for wanting to avoid the facts of political violence.
