[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]350+ pages, most are which consists of posts trying to convince everyone that the shooter was far right MAGA.

And like most of the lies told by the Democrat left, this one is now going down in flames.

This post  uses a few recognizable rhetorical strategies:

1. **Dismissive framing** – “350+ pages” is used not to engage with arguments but to belittle the effort, portraying it as excessive and misguided.

2. **Ad hominem/generalization** – By labeling it “lies told by the Democrat left,” the writer doesn’t address evidence but attacks a whole political group, suggesting dishonesty is inherent to them.

3. **Triumphalist language** – “Going down in flames” is a metaphor meant to suggest total defeat of the opposing narrative, regardless of whether the facts support that claim.

4. **False dichotomy** – The framing implies only two options exist: either the shooter was “far right MAGA” (supposedly disproven) or the opposing claim (left-wing radicalization) must be true. That leaves no room for complexity.

So, this is an example of **partisan polemic rhetoric**, heavy on ridicule, exaggeration, and group-label attacks, rather than evidence-based argument.
