She was red team, invading the capitol building where 140 officers got injured and trying to break into a barricaded area where a law enforcement officer was telling her to stand down or be shot
how she gets held up as a paragon by you all I will never understand
You moving the goal post to only paragons?
Lotta facts hurting peoples feelings in here.
Not necessarily. I rolled back and we were talking about consequences of demonizing political opponents.
Which definitely happens a ton in US. More than any other country I follow.
You are not hurting anyone’s feelings.
But, I am glad you are trying and think you are good at something.
Not a chance. Just pointing out the obvious.
And how they get shot.
Can we try using a different term, instead of just repeating what the media told us to say?
“Rambunctiously scrambling” works for me.
I understand people are upset now, and there’s steam that needs to be left out.
But can’t we all just agree that political violence happens from both sides, and it sucks ass.
I’m not sure should we even talk about sides or teams. How many of you actually support political violence? Or how many “leftists” or “Trumpists” support it?
Anybody that has served or enlisted in the military.
But to characterize it more clearly, Id say domestic, partisan political violence.
I agree. These types of hits are the worst and most cowardly form of violence, which becomes a self perpetuating reoccurence. Tit for tats, until all the tits on one side attack all the tats on the other.
We need unity between the tits and tats.
(This is a perfect opportunity for someone to post a sexy pic for levity.)
It definitely happens from both sides.
I don’t, but I am seeing a large amount of comments and writings from claimed leftists justifying Kirk being shot. I don’t see that from the right like this.
Shit like:
I’ve served. But…
violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
Anything’s better than “storming,” at this point. I’m so tired of people parroting that word, especially in reference to the Capitol stuff.
Imbeciles like on the video are the main reason I left most social media a while ago. I would turn to be hater of my own species far too quickly.
This is the pedantic political equivalent of preferred pronouns
I think anyone who has lived long enough as a human - hates humans lol.
You get to claim the title then.
Hahah. Maybe.
I’m capable and ready to kill if I really need to defend something. But that’s something I would never want to actually do.
I could repeat the Asimov -quote here again.
Not equally, not in 2025, and the rhetoric from the leaders isn’t comparable.
Kamala Harris ran her campaign on the idea that Trump was a fascist, which is broadly understood to mean literally Hitler in the USA. I suspect you know enough about fascism to know what a lie that is, and it formed the basis of their political rhetoric.
This isn’t same stuff on both sides and it hasn’t been since roughly Obama’s second term, when the racial divide started being actively stoked by false media narratives like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Democrats literally said “give them room to destroy”, all over a lie. Officer Wilson didn’t do anything wrong and he had his life shattered, all to plant the seeds of revolution that are sprouting today in 2025.
Not even close to same stuff on both sides.
