Truth is stranger than fiction: Breaking Bad - Semi Truck Shootout Scene (S4E4) | Rotten Tomatoes TV (youtube.com)
The party of January 6 is not going to be able to play the victim card.
I think the theory is: Republican voter who was apathetic about the race or became less enthusiastic about Trump in the past eight years getting a shot of adrenaline and new enthusiasm to vote where they may or may not have before, courtesy of right wing media going on about how the left is out to get him/them.
Definitely one fewer.
“‘We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,’ Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts told Real America’s Voice”
Powder keg, meet spark.
From the looks of it, the shooter was probably a hardcore maganut, so blaming this on “the left” is gonna be a hard sell.
I still don’t get how people being out too get him suddenly makes a person want to vote for him.
Like I said, it’s less a matter of changing minds than it is giving motivation to actually leave the couch and vote.
Naw…conservative voters are more than able to ignore reality and likely to do so.
It’ll be a false flag or a mentally unstable person or something else to ignore reality.
And can you show us where this person is deemed to be a, “hardcore maganut?” I have seen no information on who this person is or their motives.
My money is on a left-winger but I would not bet a lot on it.
Shooter has been identified: Thomas Matthew Crooks. Republican according to state records.
ETA (for the cite): This is being reported by the NY Post.
The description of his clothes and reference to the weapon being a MAGA favorite was what had me entertaining the possibility.
It’s been established that he was wearing a shirt associated with a Youtube channel that’s all about shooting big guns and 2nd amendment absolutism. Definitely a gun fetishist, and considering the political leanings of the channel, almost certainly maga.
Their most recent video is about how to get around Youtube’s gun censorship policies, and they’ve also got videos with titles like “I Specifically Built A Van For Drive-By Shootings” and “I Invited Cops To Train On My New Range”.
I just saw a Post on FB- serious post- selling the t-shirts of the picture.
And a post saying (serious) “I am voting for the Convicted felon!”.
Donald’s gonna be mad someone is grifting the rubes before he got his cut.
Where are you seeing that he was a registered Republican? The NY Post article I found doesn’t mention party affiliation as far as I can see.
I didn’t say he was but I’m seeing on Twitter that people have found a registered Republican of the same name and age. I’m looking into it.
ETA: Found this screenshot but cannot verify just yet, because I need a DOB to look up PA voter registrations and I don’t have Crooks’;
Reagan was a couple of feet from the car at the time.
Not to people that believe that pedophile rings are run out of pizza parlor basements.
Still think that?
