…was “radicalized” by the MSM.
Yup. Also, want more Trump? Just keep it up, because this is how that happens.

Trump didn’t ruin the media; Obama did.
Yup again.

“Unhinged Rhetoric About ‘Nazis’ and Trump Derangement Syndrome Lead to Bloodshed.”
Also, want more Trump? Just keep it up, because this is how that happens.
The DNC’s organized campaign of violence is why I voted for Trump rather than not voting at all. The attack today was just a spin off from all of the work their militant activist groups have been doing.
I voted for Trump because the alternative was a person the media would never question, just as they never questioned Obama. It’s why I figured Trump would win. It was clear that Hillary represented a government that would not be accountable to the people (e.g. her private email server). Trump was being held to account during his entire campaign. The average American is law abiding, and even those that aren’t don’t get the free pass Hillary got.
But yeah, the progressive violent rhetoric is a losing proposition, and they ought to consider shutting it down. Some might decide giving wedgies isn’t getting the message across, and they might just run out of bubblegum.
Remember the media outrage and “culture of violence” handwringing when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot in Tuscon – that’s where they blamed Sarah Palin because she’d posted a map graphic showing crosshairs on Gifford’s district.
Remember the media outrage when the Aurora Colorado theater shooting happened, and they found a local Republican group leader who happened to have the same name (and didn’t catch their goof)?
Remember the media outrage when a guy crashed his plane into an IRS building? The outrage for that, and the others, ended when they found the perp was a lefty, of course…
Yet this time, again, the perp is a lefty, and this time, the victims are Republican, or at least the shooter thought so, so it’s okay… no need to mention holding up a severed head on TV, no need to worry about the actual culture of violence on the left.
And yeah, like others here, I was no fan of Trump, but I voted for him because the radical left is such degenerate fascist trash, a clear and present danger to the country and everyone in it.
Remember the media outrage when a guy crashed his plane into an IRS building?
Natch, they still claim he’s a radical right, despite his manifesto and voting record.
There are those who still want to blame the JFK assassination on “right-wing extremism” in Texas.
The media’s claim of impending violence from the Tea Party and Republicans was just to install the fantasy into the left. It never had any backing in reality and it had the desired effect as a justification for Obama sending out union thugs to fight at Tea Party rallies and attack them with government agencies.
It is just the classic in/out group tactic of dehumanizing the other in order to build support among the in group for widespread abuses. Lefties have been really good at in over the last 100 years.
I suspect he was already radicalized. His Facebook page shows he held radical views for a long time. The media didn’t radicalize him. They validated his radical views and provided him a justification for violence. They createc a climate of hate.
The left wing politicians/media has been radicalizing their pawns for a long time, not just since November 8, 2016.
That’s just it. These loons are out there on every side, all the time. All they need is someone to activate them, and the Left is activating them. Not just the fringe, but the mainstream Left. The Democrat Party and the Major Media. Graphically and specifically.
This isn’t some generic symbol drawn on a political map that nobody would take literally. This is severed head props held up in public, and dramatic portrayal by theater companies. It is sick.
The DNC has installed the moral obligation to act. It is what their activism is based on but also the militant Resistance, which demands government workers from your local library all the way to the top of the federal government and regular people all the way up to the by any means necessary crowd to engage enthusiastically in the Resistance.
Anyone who doesn’t have the right level of enthusiasm is evil, just like the non-Democrats and this is because the motivation here is religiosity of ideology that gives meaning to their lives, makes them feel superior to others, and the moral obligation to attack non-Democrats.
Just look what happened to Jimmy Fallon when he wasn’t a total dick to Trump. The peer pressure here is immense and irrational. It is magical thinking creating mass delusion.
What the media has learned because we have not yet disabused them of it is they can lie without financial consequence. They may even be beyond the tipping point where there can be any financial consequences.
This is part of a downward spiral that could literally mean the end of civilization. The earth may become dominated by warlords. America just another banana republic.
The right will at some point fight back, but the outcome doesn’t have any guarantee it will get us back to a civilized society.
What happens when nuking a city is no longer shocking? What are we capable of accepting as a new normal?
There was a time when, if a media source lied and was found out, it cost them.
No-one’s going to be nuking American cities.
If a civil war comes, the ‘progressives’ will burn their cities down in a tantrum when the FREE STUFF stops arriving.
Yep, just cut the power and water, block some choke points and the problem will solve itself in a few weeks.
Every modern city is three days away from starvation.
It would take a bit longer than that but essentially, you are right.
“It would take a bit longer than that but essentially, you are right.”
When I lived in Colorado, we’d get snowstorms from time to time. If the storm was bad enough to close roads, the grocery stores would be pretty empty within a day or two. It wasn’t panic buying like we get here in Alabama where people run out to buy milk, bread, and eggs at the mere rumor of snow (I guess they think snow means you need to make French toast). The shortages were because grocery stores operate on a “just in time” inventory basis and if the trucks don’t roll, the shelves go empty really fast.
Perhaps the obesity epidemic has a bright side. So many people are carrying extra pounds that they could last quite a while without eating.
Edward – wishful thinking. It could happen at any moment. The Iranians have the motivation and the tools. So does Kim Jong Un.
Anybody else with enough money and hate could also make it happen.
Ironically enough, there’s reports of a dirty bomb on a cargo ship in port in South Carolina today.
I don’t think that made the news on the left coast.
Leftists have known for a long time that they can commit political violence without injuring their causes. Did the Seattle riots of 1999 poison public opinion of antiglobalism? Did the Ferguson arsons strangle Black Lives Matter in its infancy? Did the anti-Trump riots force lefty anti-Trumpers into hiding? Hell no. Meanwhile, the Malheur protests made it difficult to get people to take Bureau of Land Management abuses seriously. I wonder what Sun Tzu would have to say about this.
I wonder what Sun Tzu would have to say about this.
The quote I have been seeing a lot of lately for some unrelated reason, attack your enemies’ strategy.
Let us also remember the many many times it was actually a lefty that wrote racial epithets and insults on buildings etc…just to create the pretense of racial hatred.
No doubt that even when the scam was totally exposed the lefties considered it “fake but accurate”.
This doesn’t help to cool things down now does it?
There is a perverse incentive when the core reason for a group or personal ideology to exist relies on the existence of racism. The reality is that racism doesn’t exist, in scale or scope, as it is portrayed. What do they do when their reason to exist is no longer there? They invent incidents of racism and invent new ways people are racist.
It is part of the continual revolution way of thinking that the USSR gifted our friends to the left. It is most evident in the way language is changed. Queer used to be a slur but now its part of LBGQT. Colored used to be a slur but now the SJW types use person of color. As soon as African American has replaced black, that will become a slur that separates black people from the rest of Americans.
The best example is how segregation used to be one of the worst evils but now, the progressives are demanding segregation.
The goal of the PC leaders is to constantly make people jump through hoops, even contradictory ones, as a means of demonstrating group loyalty and reinforcing control. So much of how the left operates is like an end of days cult.
They really need to make college kids watch the old movie The Wave
It telegraphs it’s punchline, the admin would say it’s Trump followers and the kids would never get it because WWII isn’t well covered in history classes.
Ya, it would woosh over their heads as they put on their armbands with an elephant being crossed out.
