Oh no, Steve King has become a garbage human being. Because, you know, he wasn't already a garbage human being.

He's basically drawing a parallel between lawful protests protected by the 1st amendment and this shooting because he's a horrible lovely person

I've mentioned this before, but I am the only person in my office that is not an arch-conservative.What I haven't mentioned, is that the shooter is local to me in the St Louis metro east. My coworkers are having a field day. I am earnestly concerned for my livelihood if I am "outed." (With respect to people for whom that term truly applies.) But I am also forced to confront the fact that my belief in the morality of progressivism is shaken and that I perhaps should stand for authoritarian capitalists. Someone please talk me down.

Xombie posted:Yes, Right Wing messaging is such an unstoppable machine that Trump has record low approval, Fox News is in a ratings tailspin, and the GOP can't actually pass any legislation despite holding all three branches of government due to their plans being so unpopular. If that's what you drew from my post, you didn't bother finishing it.

Why should your belief be shaken by some crazy dude who happens to have some similar beliefs than you? Why would you suddenly do a 180 on your beliefs, because heaven knows, right wingers have never murdered anyone?

Sloober posted:Somebody else wrote it down and he read it, he'll go off the rails when he starts tweeting Yeah, but that he's passing up on his strongest opportunity, while it's still at its most recent and senators are still the hospital and it's all at its scariest, seems like it will make the inevitable attempts to turn in that direction and away from AHCA and scandal much harder for them. rear end in a top hat GOP senators ranting about the violent left is less new and scares me less than POTUS and the DOJ doing so, so if they botch their chance to seize that position while the footing's still relatively firm then that's a less-bad sign than I had feared.

What part of any of my posts lead you to believe I was discussing the way that rational, moderate people would react to this? I am speaking specifically of a type of extremist that I call a Narrativist, and I have been describing specifically how Narrativists will react to this situation. I'm not talking at all about how rational people would react to this and I strongly suspect you are just trolling me at this point because all my posts went well out of their way to illustrate that I am speaking specifically of Narrativists. The_Donald is specifically a den of right wing Narrativists and you can use The_Donald as a barometer for younger right wing Narrativists. That is why I showed an image of it.

Spiritus Nox posted:FWIW, that Trump's speech apparently isn't immediately going Max Crackdown is a less ominous sign than I had feared There's a decent chance that Trump tries to use this and comes off tone deaf as gently caress. You have multiple GOP lawmakers who were there who are legit going to be shook as gently caress for a while (like anyone would be). All it takes is one stupid rear end tweet getting under one lawmaker's skin to set up a nightmare for Trump.

Anyone who sees a silver lining in this is dead wrong. A government that's ever more isolated from the people they represent is going to be even less responsive to the needs of the people than they are now. https://twitter.com/swin24/status/875020846846357504
