I knew it would be some red-hat lunatic. I fucking knew it the second I heard about it. But if course the
RepublicanNazi party are going to hammer out some left wing conspiracy horseshit using their usual tactful strategy. Which is to say scream the lies loudly, consistently, and in lockstep.Which is, of course, is the best tactic to convince gullible idiots of anything. It's literally the "firebrand preacher" method that has been slaughtering "the other" in times of strife since the dawn of civilization.
The conspiracy might focus on the "donated to Biden" thing. Ignoring that there's a guy with the same name who is a left leaning organizer a few counties over, and the donation was in 2021, when the shooter was 17 and not legally able to donate to a candidate.
Wait, there's an age requirement for donating?
It's a legally gray area at best. Which is why ACT BLUE, the organization donated to, does not accept donations from people under 18.
I just jumped to this tab from the one about the project that let you type in morse code by opening and closing your laptop and thought you were talking about RedHat Linux for a second and was like "I mean a lot of people don't like RedHat, but calling them Nazis because they wrote a weird script is a bit extreme"
Sure, at first, they're just slamming their laptops shut to write morse code... but how long until it's a cell door that they're slamming? It's a slippery slope.
