What a farcical political climate we live in. People need to have more empathy for each other. Less tribalism. Conservatives secretly fist pumping today, and liberals secretly hand-wringing. Meanwhile, most of the masses miss the point.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Conservatives secretly fist pumping today, and liberals secretly hand-wringing. Meanwhile, most of the masses miss the point.Fist pumping?! Hardly. But I think it would help to acknowledge that the left has become a Petri dish of hate and intolerance, from BLM to the campus goon squads to Dem pols intentionally coarsening their rhetoric to "fire up the base" to the shows depicting assassination to the 1984esque Hate against all things Trump being pumped out by nearly all media sources 24 hours a day. Is this unique to the left? Of course not! But we need to acknowledge it has gotten a LOT worse on the far left in recent years and it is getting very disturbing.This man wasn't just your run of the mill schizo as is so typical of mass shooters. He was a far left radical out to commit assassination for political reasons. The biggest problem is that nobody in the left is trying to calm things down because that's not politically expedient. They want their base fired up - not calmed down. Many journalists have admitted that they are in a mission not to "normalize" Trump. What that means is that they intend to constantly be feeding the outrage machine. That is not healthy!
obvious false flag

This shouldn't be an opportunity for the right. This is an opportunity for growth and reflection about how our dehumanizing habits are harmful.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said. “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
Quote“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said. “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”A candidate on the right implys people should shoot politicians they don't agree with, a few months later a guy on the left actually does it.Yeah I'd say both sides are part of the problem.
