      There’s this perverse incentive in how these people make money and a living. If they abandoned the culture war, they’d be broke.

      The ‘who’ was decided long before Kirk was shot. Trump has been praying for this day. He doesn’t give a shit about who shot Kirk. Trump can tell his cultists anything and they will believe it. Shit, Trump could have shot Kirk himself, on camera, and his imbecile army would believe it was the ghost of Jimmy Carter if Trump said so. People are saying that this is the spark that will touch off Trump’s retribution. Bitches, his retribution was already well underway.

      I’m pretty sure you know who: whoever they’re scapegoating this month, which is probably us.

      But the real reason they want a civil war is that they think they have the upper hand and can establish minority rule.

        They do have the upper hand. They have the military, the supreme court, the congress and the executive. The 2024 election was literally the last chance to stop what’s here and what’s to come.

    The GOP is already at war with us. They are stealing all of our public funding, they are taking away vaccines that save our lives, they are sending in armed military to keep us in fear, and they have purchased the supreme court to give them whatever they want.

    The war started in January when the pedophile got into office.

        We don’t even know that. Its completely possible kirk was cheating on his wife with the killer and things did not end amicably.

        In most cases of murder the murderer is somebody the victim knew.

    Retribution? To who? Your own party for inviting violence and radicalizing your own populace with hate and intolerance?! How about making a million empty promises and not seeing a single one come to fruition, and now your citizens are seeking retribution from the liars and cheaters who stole their votes to enrich themselves on the backs of the American people, the very people who lifted them into power. Gonna go around punching yourselves in the face?
