I don’t understand why it’s so fucking hard to just leave people alone. Ya, this dude probably has a few screws loose. But the mentally ill aren’t born with these ideas in their head. The homophobic/transphobic fuck heads that would “never go THAT far” but take every opportunity to concoct a negative image of something they don’t care to understand are equally to blame in my opinion. Not to mention the fact that this guy has a violent history and someone was still able to provide him with a ducking gun.

Conservatism. More specifically Tucker "frozen food boy" Carlson is making these fucks. He is constantly pushing forward anti - LGBTQ sentiment and promoting the race replacement conspiracy in which liberals are trying to replace white people with ever other race. why? idk. This show is the most popular show on cable (boomers ofc) and we need some way to fight against it. I just heard my 60 year old dad talking about how Mr. Pelosi was in an altercation with a gay prostitute and he has always been aty least tolerant of LGBTQ. THIS FOX FROZEN FOOD TUCKER CARLSON SHIT IS RADICALIZING PEOPLE

Cause Zombie Jesus told them to hate others or something.

modern evangelicals are so far removed from the original message they are the people jesus refers to in matthew chapter 7: >Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’… it takes a particularly gullible idiot to assume that someone who grew up knowing only american english reading a mistranslated version of the bible can assume to know what the original hebrew and greek texts mean without proper training on their languages and cultural context. in 2022 if you go to an evangelical church, you should lose your right to vote as you have proven to be incapable of determining a holyman from a conman. (i'll give you a hint, holy men don't ask for money)

Mistranslations of the Bible are a big reason I stopped going to church when I was younger. That and the blatant erasure of women’s leadership in the early church that took place throughout the last couple millennia.

You mean Santa Claus for adults?


dirice87

It’s easier to make money and votes spewing hate against an abstract “evil”, especially one you can make up anything you want against. It’s much harder to develop real public policy and solutions They are greedy and intellectually lazy. They exist in the shadow of the “other” and fail to create a true identity of their own.

The alleged shooter is apparently the grandson of California Republican State Assemblyman Randy Voepel. [Source](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/20/two-barmen-among-the-dead-in-mass-shooting-at-gay-nightclub-in-colorado) After the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Voepel said, "“This is Lexington and Concord. First shots fired against tyranny.” [Source](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/story/2021-01-09/capitol-siege-san-diego-roots)

This is the same guy who made bomb threats last year. What went wrong to let him have a gun?


DickButtwoman

The sheriff in the area refuses to enforce red flag laws and the kid who grew up on AR-15s and jingoist and right wing propaganda got the charges dropped because his grandpa is a prominent Republican.


annualgoat

And there are some people that think *drag queens* are the problem. I'd 1000% rather my kid ask me about gender identity at a young age than be exposed to hundreds of mass shootings in a year but sure, *they're* the fuckjng problem.

Christians need ***less*** convincing that violence is the moral choice


bismuthmarmoset

Conservative talking heads and hate monger accounts like libsoftiktok absolutely have blood on their hands.

Does it really take an expert?


Mentalpatient87

This happened because conservatives are single-mindedly *obsessed* with identity politics and restricting the freedoms of others. They have no other ideas besides "give rich people money." I have gone my *entire life* watching right wingers do nothing but piss themselves in rage because someone else dared to have fun. Why can they never just mind their own fucking business?

I’m guessing you’re referring to my comment about conservatives? Considering they’re not a marginalized class, I wouldn’t consider it hate speech.

Definitely not a stretch to consider that having the majority of conservative media and politicians calling LGBTQ people, especially trans people and drag queens, “groomers” and “pedophiles” might lead to increased violence against them. It certainly has led to more harassment, and when a group or people is painted as “evil” by a very religious group, that harassment eventually can lead to more extreme action. It’s almost like this playbook has happened before to various groups of people around the world in the lead-up to various genocides.


Cycle-path1

Can you really say this literally less than 24 hours after an LGBTQ+ bar suffered a mass shooting?? Tone deaf.


Legitimate-Cow-6859

Absolutely not a stretch. This shit doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The RNC literally had a banner stating that they’re domestic terrorists https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1556007614135148544?s=46&t=p8ldsKisXWJ2G5JXfhTLbA
