We can not support this,please support who you want but never condone murder of any American..Please!!

“We”

We have been normalizing killing for years.

Trump has doubled down on bashing democrats and blaming the "radical left" for everything he has done and is promoting. He doesn't know compassion or even compromise. It's all about him. He needs the excuse to keep stirring up violence so he can send more troops to blue cities.

"Minnesota Nice" I guess

She needs to call out Mike Lee and Trump.

It's such BULLSHIT. Every Senator needs to call for Mike Lee's REMOVAL! Strongly worded letters and "talking tos" will get a snicker from the Republican assholes.

I’m calling for impeachment of Mike Lee, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, and charges against Stephen Miller! I don’t care if it fails! These folks need to answer for their violence!

I guess I'm showing my age...

When the Speaker of The House advocates violence and then a Senator ups the ante and there are no consequences….we are in deep trouble. Where are the calls to at least censure these two individuals?

When do we do what our Grandfathers did to Facists from 1939 to 1945?!?!

💔

TACO Felon isn't anything. He has zero moral compass. He strictly goes where he can grift the most, or stay out of jail.

Christians have always killed. Look what they did to the indigenous.

We didn't blame each other. The Left blamed the people who did this. The Right lied.

🔥💥🔥

It seems the only Republican who openly called out their own party by saying Dems are Americans with different point of views was John McCain.

I'm not normalizing jack sh1t that is going on in, and because of, the 47 regime.

And also... bsky.app/profile/joel...

Absolutely! Why won’t Democrats solve this Republican problem? Why do they always expect Republicans to sort their own out, when Democrats stand idly by, causing almost no problems? It’s obvious that only Democrats can do anything about this, but they refuse to fix everything wrong with Republicans!

We, keemosabe?

who is we?

This isn't a "both sides" thing. The politically motivated violence is coming almost exclusively from the right wing.

His roommate said he was a Republican that was glad Trump won. Republicans want him to be a democrat so bad. Most political violence is done on behalf of wanting to kill democrats. I’m done with this nonsense.

This is on the right. The man is a brainwashed MAGA domestic terrorist. You cannot both sides this. He was indoctrinated and given his orders from Republicans and Trump. Whether that was figuratively or implied. He is a MAGA terrorist.

😡😡😡

Yea. The Mike Lee Comment still has me reeling. I mean a Utah senator. I live in an area with a whole lot of LDS folks and yes...they are Trumpy. But no way would any of them support this kind of thing.

STOP BOTHSIDING REPUBLICAN SHIT!!! THE VIOLENCE IS 100% REPUBLICAN.

🤬

No your old party is normalizing it.Whats this we shit pale face. Always WE. WE didn't start calling US the enemy of the UNITED STATES your old party did.WE didn't start kidnapping people off the streets , WE didn't just make a joke of the killings your FRIEND did.Stop this we shit WE didn't start.

Exactly! One side condoned it while the other jokes about and / or praises it

Yes, thank you. I'm so tired of the constant gaslighting. I don't necessarily want any of them dead, I just want them all to shut the fuck up and go away. Permanently.

Democrats suck at messaging. Scream this from the rooftops. Trump hatred caused this. Now we are in the skis over Iran?? Where are the democrats? Still trying to work across the aisle.

From where I am the violence is one sided. All aimed at Democrat lawmakers…Pelosi,Shapiro,Swalell & the 4 Minnesota lawmakers this past weekend

Senators used to duel with pistols outside of the Congressional building until the turn of the 19th Century Political violence has always been a thing Even monkeys sometimes fight It happens Look at Joe Biden shaking hands with a ghost & you did nothing about that

what’s this we-shit batman?

adam, your republican is showing. there is no “we” here.

"We"? You have a pet mouse in your pocket?

And it's not both-sided. It's right wing extremists killing, abducting and assaulting.

It's been here since 2016 when tRump was having people physically thrown out of his rallies!

Horrible killing but I have learned to not listen to one news report or even two - I kinda wait until things settle and then put pieces together like a puzzle. I didn’t jump to any conclusion.

This is your country. Unpleasant, at best toxic at worst. Nothing and no one is coming to save you from each other. So now what?

Exclusive: How close is the U.S. to authoritarianism? 🔦 Closer than you think — and here’s what needs to happen next... bsky.app/profile/that...

Did you mean only the Republicans are normalizing this?

But Nixon‘s Downfall triggered the lust for revenge and the realization that „the Liberal Press“ was the main enemy. So they brought that under control largely by the Clinton years.

Show me left wing political violence???

Okay, but MAGA IS to blame. Like quite literally, their violent rhetoric led to this.

The revolution that's about upon us will shut down many things. In war, suits and ties, aka brass, are the targets. The higher the rank, the higher the bounty. The movie, THE DIRTY DOZEN, depicts this precisely. This will not end nicely. Mho. Today's drones threaten every home.

Hello —— most honest face to show should be yours .

And the President of the USA has encouraged both division and violence within our country!

Sounds a bit of bothsides-ism

Propaganda outlets like Fox News coupled with fast moving misinformation only exacerbate the problem.

👍

Stop with the "we", Adam. No, not "we". There's one group in this country that's been promoting violence and using violent eliminationist rhetoric for at least a decade--and it's not "we". There's no both-sides here.

We?!? No, not we- the bad faith defined GOP

You evidently knew about Trump's J6 auto-coup in advance. You ordered your staff to take the day off and told your wife to stay home and not to open the door. Then you brought your handgun to work. Did your warn your Democratic colleagues so they and their families could also prepare, or...?

I appreciate a number of things you say, but, at this lot, I have to ask why you are utilizing substack. You, personally, have other options. You have to know the issues around it, you have a reader ship base, you... could just leave up a redirect. It's a choice.

Your graphic has Mayor Pete fighting Secretary Pete?

It's what happens when politics gets so polarised and politicians forget that politics isn't a game, you're affecting real lives! You make too many bad choices that negatively impact people then the real risk is people may seek revenge! Not saying it's right of course!

MAGA: left wing rhetoric is driving violence ALSO MAGA:

MAGA grew out of the hate-gospels of evangelism that "mainstream" Christianity pretends doesn't exist and everyone else pretends aren't dangerous. "Good Christians," pull the wool over their own eyes and everyone else is ignoring the problem.

There was no “we” in this. And I would argue there was no (political)right in this either: just a depraved & immoral political faction that’s taken over republicans & the conservative movements of the country. MAGA is not part of “we” - the US should no longer associate itself with such filth.

Closer to 99.9999999% from the magats.

Adam wants to pretend he hasnt spent decades throwing in with the wealthy elites and their violent thugs.

This was always the GOP plan as part of the Southern Strategy. That's why the symbiosis with the NRA and evangelicals was so carefully cultivated. Gun lovers and evangelicals...the two groups most likely to gleefully start shooting if fed enough cultural resentment propaganda and given permission.

and left a total mess behind for someone else to clean up

I don’t trust anyone who voted for Reagan and the bush tits.

💯

I typically agree with you, Adam. However, in this case, the murderer was radicalized by the right wing. We’re not blaming each other. Liberals are being blamed for something they had nothing to do with.

I call it a straight up lie. Call it what it is.

Pussies

Political violence needs to end.

Trump planted the seed of political violence and we must destroy the crop

We? You mean the right

Congress has the power and Authority to stop ALL OF THIS TODAY. They just choose not to.

It’s been a decade since 6/16/2015 & golden escalator ride to announce his lies, conspiracies, bigotry, corruption as hourly media coverage would reign in as the new normal. The Teaparty and Birther politicians & voters became 1/6/21 defenders, & the media didn’t want to lose their gravy train.

Adam, are you willing to blame far-right religion, because that's what drove this murderer. No one has the guts to point the finger at Christian Dominionism.

Talk to creepy Mike Lee, making Joseph Smith so proud.

When one side does the vast majority of political violence, and has done so for decades, there is absolutely a place for blame and it's not with "we" it's with the party and political ideologies behind the majority of the violence. That's the right.

Their sheer willfully ignorant jackassery we face is daunting.

Agreed. Left-wing violence, when it happens, is more likely to be against property, while right wing violence is usually directed against human beings. Both forms of violence are counterproductive and wrong but people are more important than property. I hope that’s not controversial.

Yeah, and surprise, surprise: he’s “religious” and a right-winger. Call it by its name: white Christian terrorism

I'd say you men need to stop swinging your goddamn dicks around and let somebody else step up to the plate because y'all are fucking blowing it.

2nd American Civil War has begun.

Adam, you need to rethink this post. There is no "both sides" to the political violence in America. Saying it's both sides is what normalizes it, just like Reps claiming they are "deporting illegal immigrants" while snatching citizens off the street. Only one side is destroying American rights.

I’ve heard/read very few elected officials condemn the actions of the gunman or show compassion for the victims and their families. It’s a shame what this country has become.

Until the current politicians decide to represent the people, country & the constitution, instead of bending to the wishes of a dictator, thinking it will protect their political 🫏es, nothing will change. It starts with the house & senate! VOTE THESE ⚾️less cowards OUT. Trump can’t save us we can

The definition of terrorism is the unlawful use if violence or intimidation to further a political agenda. Call it what it is.

What did “WE” do? 🤔 I saw the, so called President, attack the governor of MN & tRUMP didn’t say one word about the victims. There is seriously something wrong with his humanity gene.

This is on your old party and probably you to an extent because you were a member of it for so long you fucking dolt.

#DonaldTrump and his cronies have a huge recruitment going on of armed men to harm and terrorize the rest of us. #GOP is complicit.

This is #MAGA violence This is #ChristianNationalist violence. It is being pushed by fascists #DonaldTrump, #FoxNews every damn day, all day. #Democrats are not the enemy. #Socialists are not the enemy. The #GOP, our representatives, need to unite against this before they do another damn thing!!!!

“We?”

Who exactly is "we?"

Seems one sided a little bit, The violence comes from the right and is stoked by the Republican Congress then blamed on the evil commie socialist Marxist baby eating democrats. Then the democrats blame the right for everything they just did and somehow we still get a both sides attitude

Meanwhile…. About that parade. 😗

That's because it gave him a big piece of morning wood... Then again is a horrific, immoral bastard, so there's that as well.
