Anything But The Guns.
Well it’s obvious the gun wasn’t what shot Mr. Trump.
It was Critical Race Theory.
“How dare you be so insensitive to our pain!”
To Trump, the Paul Pelosi assault was the cause for yet another one-off joke, which should have landed with a chorus of boos at the California GOP convention. Nope. A laugh riot.
“shooting”
Trump wasn’t clipped by a boomerang.
Politically motivated violence. I wonder if we have a word for it.
CRT? Did we convert him into a self hating white guy or something lol
They have always said CRT apparently makes white people feel guilty or lesser, so yeah that fits their ‘logic’ (racism).
Only in the peasantry
Edit: this was meant to be a response to the tv guy
Looks like it’s the consequences of their own actions circling around again. Time to blame liberals/trans/minorities/foreigners/anybody else!
Let’s run down the list of the shooter’s known traits and see how this fits the GOP agenda:
- White
- Male
- Suburban
- Privileged upbringing
- Gun enthusiast
- Registered Republican
YUP! Sure sounds like a CRT-lovin’ Democrat operative to me! Can’t wait to hear how these fascist psychos try to spin the web of Deep State bullshit into this one.
NEWSFLASH: There’s only one side of this political climate that has been advocating violence from Day 1, dipshits, and it sure as fuck isn’t coming from the Democrats.
brain washing half the country with your sick violent rhetoric.”
Greene in 2021 appeared in a campaign video holding a 50-caliber rifle and promising to “blow away the Democrats’ socialist agenda.” She then fired the rifle at a Toyota Prius with a “socialism” sign on its side. Footage showed the vehicle exploding with the words, “Target destroyed” displayed on screen. The video promoted a giveaway of the rifle “for Americans only.”
When was the last time a Democrat appeared in a political ad with a firearm? More of the right’s projection and gaslighting.
I don’t see political ads - do the ones Biden’s running say things like “Trump must be stopped at all costs?” I just worry that the dems will take the bait and turn down their messaging while the right keep the flames burning.
I’ve also never seen a Democrat ad like this. It’s pretty clearly what they want people to do, while they’re too chicken shit to say it out loud.
Sounds like a lone wolf, nothing can be done about such a thing
As an aside: how can you be a lone wolf, yet have two wolves inside you? 🤔
Duowolf
Well, that’s 3 wolves, so you just need a moon and there we you go.
God dammit Moon Moon

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Not long after the attempt to assassinate former president Donald Trump, Republicans began to blame the Democrats; the media; diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; and critical race theory as responsible for the shooting, even though law enforcement thus far has not shared information about the shooter’s motivations.
Twenty-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican who once gave $15 to a progressive anti-Trump political action committee, opened fire at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” the Ohio senator wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another GOP politician on Trump’s shortlist for VP, Sen. Tim Scott, on Saturday baselessly claimed that the “radical left” and the media “aided and abetted” in the shooting.
“This was an assassination attempt aided and abetted by the radical Left and corporate media incessantly calling Trump a threat to democracy, fascists, or worse,” Scott wrote on X.
Johnson wrote on X that the House will “conduct a full investigation of the tragic events today,” including seeking testimony from Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle “and other appropriate officials from [the Department of Homeland Security] and the FBI.”

Guy had long hair, I’m surprised trans hasn’t made it yet.
Don’t speak it into existence, please let us just dodge this bullshit for once 😩
What do you mean, that was making the rounds like 2 hours after the event
Thankfully I still haven’t seen it anywhere.
The archive is blurred out for me, but highlighting everything makes it readable.
Saying we’re too divided and in the same breath casting divisive blame is… Not even surprising anymore.
saying we are too divided while casting blame is entirely self consistent, if one’s actual implied position is “we think everything bad is your side’s fault, we want it to stop existing, and then there wouldnt be a division anymore”.
Glad that works and thanks for sharing the tip, getting webpages in a format where they’ll load well for the most people is getting tougher everyday
Welcome to the definition of orwellianism.
Reader-mode works too!
Let’s just call it an official act, then, shall we ? Then we can do whatever we want.
They have no one to blame but Trump and every attempt to blame someone else makes them look like a hypocrite.
CRT ? The shooter is white.
But the CRT made him hate white people. /s
Except that’s exactly what they think.
“A woke trans just shit in my pants just now!!!”
That’s what the Trump diapers are for.
“Humans don’t kill people, CRT does.”
Your only defense is lead.
It’s actually kinda funny watching them flail around blaming nothing and everything because one of their own tried to shoot Trump. They were NOT prepared to deal with this situation at all.
Has more been confirmed other than last voter registration?
We may never be able to put him on so narrow a box, but he was registered, a gun nut, and he didn’t donate to Dems - that was just someone with the same name in the same state.
That’s not confirmation, but thus far there isn’t any reason to believe otherwise.
But also he was 20. It’s likely he didn’t have a strong personal affiliation with any political party.

If nothing gets released (like very little was released about the mini-arsenal, bump-stock Las Vegas mass shooter) he’s probably right wing. If there’s anything leftist about it you can bet they’ll dig for every possible way to exploit it.
What additional evidence do you need? He was asked directly by the state what party he considers himself a supporter of, and he said Republican.
Conservatives are going to try to disown him no matter what. Don’t let their endless bad faith requests for additional proof convince you that the facts here aren’t straightforward.
No no no. Voter party affiliation on voter registration doesn’t mean anything on its own. People change their registered parties all the time to vote in the other party’s primaries and such. Also sometimes people forget to switch back.
For kids, their party affiliation is going to be whatever their parents are (lest they be disowned by their family). For kids, their political views can and do change radically from 18 to 25.
Party affiliation on voter registration means nothing in the case of the shooter.
kids
…
18 to 25
I don’t think you know what a kid is…
Fine, young adult, whatever. My point still stands. Young new voters are most likely to be registered with the same party affiliation as their parents. It doesn’t mean the shooter is actually a republican.
Not in any way that will convince someone who doesn’t want to believe it, but for reasonable folks…
Smith shared an American history class with Crooks, and remembered a mock debate where their teacher made students stand on one side of the classroom or another to signal their allegiance. “The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other.”
This was years ago. Kids change really quickly as they grow up. Ask me how I know. I used to be a kid in high school who was spouting my parents’ bullshit conservative christian views. After high school I started thinking for myself and left all that toxic garbage behind.
I’ll use that counterargument the next time someone brings up how he donated $15 to pacblue when he was 15 to convince me he’s a crazy left wing antifa whackjob or similar. Edit: Apparently that donation has been debunked anyhow. So on the balance of available evidence…
