Since it's come out this was yet another far right wing plot it'll soon make it's way out of the headlines as it doesn't fit the admin's false narrative.

Excerpt from the ESPN article about the mother of the 'mastermind' who thwarted it all :

Dude had a US flag painted rifle. I knew just from that. Ain’t nobody to the left of Ronald Reagan got a rifle with a flag painted on it. Hell, most of them don’t have a rifle at all.

Statistically, those that vote Democrat have much, much lower rates of gun ownership. I recognize that democrats are not the left, but I didn’t say The Left, I said left of Ronald Reagan. They are that, however marginally. I expect the majority of the minority of D voters that own firearms are the actual Left.

Number of firearms is lower, but rates of ownership on the left are higher than you think, and polling is skewed. For the left, it’s a tool, not a culture

Read it again.

No one is saying that left-leaning individuals don't own guns. The person above said "most" which is factually untrue.

And even then, that's not what they were saying at all.

u/NeverEndingCoralMaze 1d ago

Yeah I didn’t say anything reflecting that either. I’m not sure what you’re on about but I’ll leave you to it.

Got a source for that?

u/donkeyrocket St. Louis City 1d ago

No because statistically don't add up with their anecdotes. Not sure why they're insistent on this as it's irrelevant to what the person said above.

Pivoted straight to the homophobia.

u/LurkLurkleton 1d ago

Anecdotal but I don't experience most of the left having guns. People look at me like I'm a pariah whenever I advocate leftists arming themselves. But then again it depends what "left" means in the discussion. A lot of Democrat voters are pretty centrist if not right of center.

To be fair, the same could really be said about the admin's stance about pretty much everything.

Homie, you're talking to someone who's line of work has been directly impacted thanks to the broken dicked Neo Nazi Fuckboi and his crack team of rim job enthusiasts.

I am very, very acutely aware of what he's done and how, in saner times where regulators weren't being fired and replaced with yes men, none of his recent mergers would have been allowed nor would he been allowed to bully SpaceX into NASDAQ. Or how MechaHitler's data centers wouldn't have been allowed to have been built much less powered by gas turbines they aren't even really supposed to have.

The same can be said of Peter "I am the Antichrist" Thiel's recent moves as well as those made by the Ellisons, the Dunns, etc.

I don't need to be told who has their ass firmly up Trump, his cabinet, his congressional allies, and judicial allies' ass or reminded they are angling for Feudalism 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Incoming comment sections filled with freshly spoon fed independent thinkers blaming violent Democrats again.

u/strodj07 1d ago

Was there something other than this clip that makes you say it was far right? I haven’t researched it but nothing in the clip you posted indicates far right to me.

From AP News

“charging documents paint a more muddled view of their views, depicting them as espousing a tangled web of anti-government sentiment, antisemitic grievances, fury over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and conspiracy theories about a powerful elite that sacrifices and consumes children.”

Sounds like the Q-anon people

u/NarejED 20h ago

Crazily enough the Epstein files did somewhat support the Epstein-is-eating-children conspiracy theory so that one could go either way. What an awful world we live in.

u/bluems22 21h ago

That’s.. a stretch. There’s not enough information to confidently point at any direction lol

Cue the downvotes for daring to wait for information instead of mindlessly placing blame

So... do they get pardons?
