> [@Ale](#): > > I think it speaks volumes about the character of people when their first reaction to hearing of someone getting hurt is how can that be used politically. It’s a politically caused crime. This is what millions of Americans wanted, what they voted for, and what they cheer for. If anything the average Republican would only be unhappy that the girl lived. If you gave the typical Republican a button that would magically burn every non-white person on the planet alive, they’d push it without hesitation. One handed, since they’d be using the other to masturbate at the thought of billions of burning _untermenschen._ ---

The modern Republican party is in practice the Nazi party with a red white and blue paint job and even less competence. So yes; I consider it perfectly reasonable to think that most of them would like nothing better than to kill most of the population of the planet, because that’s what such people are like. And it’s a far more common attitude than a lot of people want to believe. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is naive to pretend it is not a duck. Nothing is helped by pretending we don’t know with reasonable certainty that the woman who hates Mexicans so much she is willing to run them over is a Trump supporter. People who are that racist tend to support Trump, and Trump has directly encouraged these exact beliefs. Steve King is her congressman, and has said much worse things than Trump about Mexicans. You want to blame someone other than her, blame him. ---

Is she smiling because she is stoned? Many people are smiling in their arrest pictures. I wonder why. Perhaps they are stupid. ---

Close, but no cigar. Clive and Des Moines are in the 3rd District, represented by Cindy Axne. Steve King is a piece of shit and blemish on Iowa, however. ---

I think he failed to point out that the definition of “white” used by those particular people tends to be narrower than most. If anything, his depiction was too kind. ---
