But as photos and social media posts surfaced showing Sanford in a camouflage Trump 2020 shirt that read “Make Liberals Cry Again,” and a Trump-Pence sign still visible on his front lawn just months ago, the political implications became harder to ignore.
So far, Republican leaders have said nothing.
What should they say? “It’s one of us, again”?
Yes
Did you know that Biden used an autopen?
something something tan suit
I think I read about that in Hillary’s Emails.
Did you say, “tan”?
My wife broke the news to me. I ask if it was the radical left again. She said he drove a pickup with 2 flag poles with the American flags. So false flag operation? (Side eye stare)
Can’t be false, he has two on his truck!
Hear me out, maybe he is an anteefah plant - to make muh conservatives look bad.
I don’t disagree with the content of the article, but this is AI written from a low quality (known for being unreliable) source. This is the type of content designed to amplify sentiment instead of shed light or do useful critique.
It goes against the narrative so it didnt really happen
Republicans own this and every other shooting

They don’t care
That’s the problem: reality has nothing to do with their views of the world whatsoever
We make the mistake constantly of hoping that they’ll see reason, when it’s not just beyond their tiny little brains, even if they were capable, they choose ignorance and hatred
I’m grateful that I don’t live in 'Murica, but my special someone is there and we’re working on getting her visa sorted out so that we can get her the fuck out of that uncivilised backwater of a country

Excellent observation. They chose ignorance because so many people have been so economically oppressed in America for so long, and stripped of meaningful means of controlling their own life so that they now fetishize power, of any kind, to at least experience what they perceive as ‘power’… Which to the most simple mind, is nothing more than raw authority.
The only way forward is for momentum to build on anti-billionaire sentiment. Red, Blue, shades in between. Every American is directly impacted by the active, intentional, and systematic wage suppression and wealth consolidation that has been rampant for the last 40 years in America. A fraction of a percent have gained more than they could ever hope to spend, while over 99.9% of us can’t stop working, ever. Medical care cost will rise exponentially, denials from insurance will follow, and if you manage to avoid medical issues, they’ll just keep moving the goal posts on retirement age.
20 million in your 401k? Well now the retirement age is 75, so you’ll have to pay the penalty to withdraw before then, oh and you’re in the Medicare gap… And you’re old, so that will be 10k a month for health insurance

I spend a bit of time in the US
The whole country is afraid
They’re afraid of each other, they’re afraid of faceless enemies that exist only in their imagination, they’re afraid to lose what little they have, and they’re all on a knife-edge, one bit of bad luck away from ruin or death
It’s awful to see, especially when there’s more than enough to go around

Conservatives exist in a world of emotion. Facts exist to support emotion. If the facts don’t fit the emotion, they are discarded. I don’t know about you but I’d call that stupid. Idiotic. That’s how toddlers are.
We need to stop treating these people like reasonable adults because they are not. You wouldn’t let a toddler hold office. You shouldn’t let a conservative, either. The toddler would do better, because they’re usually not so cruel and often have potential to grow.

Oh, absolutely!
They’re children, but unfortunately they’re children who vote, own firearms and see everything around them as a challenge
I’ve had a conservative in Australia get pissy at me and say “you think you’re better than me”
I responded “because I am”
