Are shootings not a fact of life?
People hiding behind a certainty of their own moral superiority are stooping to twisting people’s words to make their point?
Maybe just for one day, resist any dunks that require distortion of the facts of what people said. See how far your worldview goes when you constrain yourself to telling the truth.
The “they’re a fact of life” rhetoric here is to imply there is nothing that can be done about the issue.
It’s a thought terminating cliche). The purpose of stating they’re “a fact of life” is to aim to quell dissonance about the issue.
That’s the truth. I didn’t need to constrain myself any. Maybe just for one day, resist pretending that these right-wing nutjobs say anything in good faith.
A fact of life… when living in America. Third world country that doesn’t tell its inhabitants.
3 assassination attempts. In what 3 months? And they’re all from Republicans.
The most recent “assassination attempt” was just drummed up by the media. I haven’t seen any evidence it was anything other than a man with some guns in his car who happened to be near the rally.
Honestly, I’d be surprised if the venn diagram of “people who would keep guns in their car” and “trump’s base” wasn’t a circle.
There’s going to be a lot of false positives in an environment like that
The Riverside county sheriff is the one who first used the term assassination attempt. Media uncritically repeated what the sheriff said.
Only one was prevented. The 3rd one, the person had no plans or interest in an assassination attempt. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Edited for missing critical word. Thanks to Warl0k3@lemmy for the proof read!
