not an iron law or anything but basically every assassination attempt on a political figure over the last 20 years has turned out to be driven by a disturbed person with functionally illegible politics

Yeah, there's already enough to see this will be a deep rabbit hole of brainrot, irony, and nihilism. We'll undoubtedly learn he spent time on 4chan and so forth, but this person is not going to have what the rest of us would consider a coherent political ideology.
There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

I'll be honest, losing a child to online nihilism and unreality is something that keeps me up at night, and this detail about the father having to physically restrain him until the cops could take him away is fucking me up

Before they come out and try to make this kid into a darling of either political ideology, to those of us who have watched the internet grow up from the inside, it's clear he's one of the lost-in-the-sauce generation. There's some clear 4chan and dark cornera Discord group talk on those bullets

I don't think the shooter's a groyper so much as he has a completely unintelligible ideology like basically everyone who does public violence

Christ these insufferable fucks are cringey. Just give a press conference without the weird grandstanding, you dorks.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'

We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman

Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

Jackson County TN Christian nationalist Pastor Andrew Isker is apparently afraid that TSA scanners will make him become attracted to men - so he chooses a personal pat-down instead.

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender."

The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

I see no evidence that this is true. In fact, Grok just told me that re: Elon’s actions: “If left unchecked, it risks turning America’s experiment in self-governance into a playground for billionaires, where the will of the people is just another variable to manipulate. That’s not democracy.”

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

Can't wait to see a group of Constitutional Originalists contort themselves to say that a document written in response to a nation being formed from the secession of a monarchy actually was meant for us to have a king.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

I'm not sure if most folks realize how on the edge of a depression we truly are.

Saying that, what would it take for other elected Republicans to turn on Trump? I'm not sure I can guess where at this point.

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

Is this how those of the unenchanted felt when the nazi party took power?

It is bonkers to me that a so-called populist party can so nakedly go through the motions of selling our govt to the highest bidder. Trump and Maga folks, can yall actually be supportive of this clown Musk?
