But as photos and social media posts surfaced showing Sanford in a camouflage Trump 2020 shirt that read “Make Liberals Cry Again,” and a Trump-Pence sign still visible on his front lawn just months ago, the political implications became harder to ignore.

So far, Republican leaders have said nothing.

    S’ok it’s one of their own.

    Malsocialized whiteboi pass.

    When enough of them grow up awkward because they’ve been tweaked out the ass on 4chan, social media outrage algos, and pedo-adjacent anime, their mothers think something is wrong with society.

    Nope. Society works fine for lots of people. No one told you to raise an awkward fucking basement predator.

    But then white guy pass comes along and it’s “muh raaaaycee” must save “muh raaaaycee”

    When you were cranking your 3 incher to anime porn for decades you weren’t thinking about your race then

    Not silent, I had someone freaking out in my office today saying “dammit! Hes one of us!” with the most disdained look on his face. People died and dude is only talking about how its once again his team that did it.

      Damn it’s one of us. Always has been.

      I just now noticed the insensitivity of using a meme with a gun to make this point.

      Did he question his life decisions or worldview afterward, or immediately go back to not giving a single fuck about the people who died because it made his cult look bad?

    Gosh, that’s so weird. If this was someone they could claim was trans, they’d be crying about how xtianity is “under attack” from the “radical left”.

    That’s surprising. Usually when conservatives intend to do jack shit about any situation, they offer a prayer with a contrived air of empathy on their gormless faces.

    If they’re not praying for something or other, it would indicate that they might want to do something useful instead for a change… But I’m not holding my breath.

      Trump has. He posted about how “they” are attacking Christians iirc (at first it was radical leftists, then he posted again with more ambiguous language, I think). Interesting, most Christians don’t consider Mormons part of Christianity- and Kirks murderer was raised Mormon. Trump helped amplify fear mongering with that, too, so. Gee, I wonder why a Mormon church was targeted by a Trump supporter?

        Won’t be long till there is Christian denomination infighting going on in the MAGA world. A good chunk of them are all ready blaming Israel for Kirk’s death as well as Mormons. I always knew this is what would happen eventually since Christians hate other Christians almost as much as they hate gays.

          The minute they squelch trans and gay rights, and bring back Jim Crow, they will be right back at each others’ throats, casting the other groups out as heretics and “pagans” and “cult members”, etc…there are approximately 45,000 denominations of xtianity - which one is the One True Xtianity?

          Yep. I’ve always said if/when they finally get their beloved Theocracy, there will immediately be massive sectarian violence.

      They are not praying for members of the LDS. They might pray for the shooter, though. After all, he is one of them.
