Go read what Republicans on the internet have been saying about this guy. Literally foaming at the mouth coming up with lie after lie for how he’s not one of theirs. Can’t even get them to admit the guy is some psycho, they literally cannot process reality in any way.

The spin hasn’t been released yet. After a bad-look catastrophe, the first 48 hours are always wild because their leader hasn’t spoken yet. Now is the time of random people and bots throwing any bullshit they can think of at the wall and when something finally sticks their king will scrape it off the wall and feed it to the eager and willing serfs.

So disgustingly true.

Absolutely spot on.

This is spot on.

It didn't last nearly 48 hours before the spin was released. As soon as conservative media sources heard about those No Kings flyers and the board he was on, they started pushing their narrative. Lots of the early takes from conservatives here on Reddit who tried to portray the guy as a leftist or democrat were basically just aping the early reporting from Fox, etc.

I've just read something from a Dallas newspaper claiming he's a "Democrat insider" and positing that he's either a: "far left radical" or: "something darker" and an attempt to: "blame Republicans". I've really not seen anything else about his background but it struck me as pretty extreme rhetoric, and now I'm reading he's actually a Maga...

It’s because apparently the people he killed voted against Dems recently and he was appointed in his job by Walz so the right is saying he’s actually far left

I haven’t fact checked those things but I’ve read those things on Conservative sub

The MN Congresswoman he killed voted one way on a recent initiative, but the MN Senator he shot and tried to kill voted the opposite way, so I don't see how that could possibly have anything to do with the motivation lol. Especially not when his best friend described him as a Trump supporter and said he voted for Trump. A religious conservative who is anti-abortion, anti-lgbtq, and who voted for Trump doesn't really check any boxes you'd expect of a democrat.

Disagree. They had the spin at the jump. In fact, it was only a few HOURs after the assassination that every single conservative was lock step on "This guy is a dem because Walz appointed him".

I have never seen them respond with a clear talking point so quickly to unexpected news.

There was a spin already on conservative sub right after it happened that they were targeted by the left for collaborating with republicans on whatever

It’s crazy because that’s exactly how things work now…in Drakes case vs UMG, UMG used the literal same exact examples and arguments that were being made on YouTube commentary shows and ideas that had been circling the internet from the day he filed the lawsuit.

Can only imagine how many are bots

They would have to face the thought that they could be the bad guys if they did that

u/Adaphion Jun 16 '25

They are so fucking brainwashed that their stupid little smooth brains cannot comprehend that a republican can be anything but a perfect angel.

Any and every single scandal that they ever get involved in is either: fake, or secretly a Democrat.

You can't extend a ladder of logic to help people out of a hole they didn't use logic to dig.

They lie as they breathe the cultists should not be allowed to vote

The delusion is funny, at least from an outside perspective as a non-American. When Trump was shot at, Democrats on Reddit were saying that they «didn’t hope he was on of theirs» and waited for more information. Republicans, on the other hand, immediately go full narcissist prayer. «It didn’t happen, and if it did it was a false flag. And if it wasn’t, he was a democrat. If he wasn’t, he wasn’t a republican. And if he was, then you deserved it.»

Reds are unable to be rehabilitated into normal human society anymore. They're going to have a tough time when their time comes to an end.

I venture every once in awhile. My brain hurts trying to keep up with the insanity.

u/Kuhn_Dog Jun 16 '25

This is the America they voted for. They just don't want to own up to it now that one of them is carrying out their wishes. Cowards.

u/Faiakishi Jun 16 '25

I don't know why these morons commit crimes for the orange god. They throw away their lives and all their friends immediately label them a Democrat.

| they literally cannot process reality in any way.

For real though. Literally actually they can't. They're in a cult and that's what happens in cults.
