[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how quickly this thread has quietened  down now that it’s clear the shooter voted for Trump. Yesterday it was the top thread most of the day as MAGA trolls furiously pushed back  any suggestions that he might be from their side or had mental health issues. I don’t know if it was just a handful of people promoting MAGA talking points, but they were relentless. [/quote]

I'm MAGA and early on I said it was irrelevant who he voted for. The guy clearly has issues. And I thought he was probably a big lefty, but again, it's stupid to point to a madman and say "this person represents everyone with those beliefs." You're either someone who believes political violence is justified or you're not. Most people do not believe in political violence. But there are people on both the right and the left who believe it. A democrat who isn't violent has a lot more in common with a MAGA who isn't violent than either have with the militants in their own party. I think the real issue is when people wink and nod at the violent people in their own party while claiming that there's no violence. Yes there is. On both sides. (Yes. Both. SiDeS.)[/quote]

I am liberal, and I also said earlier that his party affiliation is irrelevant because none of us align with him, no matter which party. So I agree with most of what you said. But, you know that the violence and hateful rhetoric is not the same on both sides. Yes, it happens on both sides, but it is far far more prevalent with republicans. You seem like someone who is opposed to this sort of thing. So I respectfully suggest that you start having some tough conversations with other republicans. Work toward the change you want to see. And if you are reading this and thinking I am wrong about it being much more common with republicans, then please reconsider your sources of information. You mentioned the protests/riots. This would be a good place to start. Compare what tight wing media told you to the facts. Look into how many rioters were democrats versus agitators and opportunists. How many of the rioters did Biden pardon?

Thanks for being the only maga to speak out against this violence. [/quote]
