I mean, sorta, but not really. This guy believed in the fringiest of fringy conspiracy theories. Sure they often spread lies, but not this sort of thing.

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

I literally spent last week on the Sunshine Coast, and if there was a Trump part of Canada, that is it.

absolutely sickening... This falls squarely on the GOP and their cowardly leaders and the media that echoes garbage for political gain

Just to clarify when insane left wing people commit crimes that are politically motivated are those also the fault of the Dems or does that only apply to republicans?

Who are you asking? Me?

I dunno man, I dunno

I would say that only one party endulges in violent rhetoric generally. Right out of the republican playbook, mostly thanks to Trump

Is that the dems fault? The deep seeded hatred and lust for violence harbored by many of the deplorables and exploited by the republicans constantly?

I mean, that could be the dems fault... Hmmm... tough to say

Can you list some of those instances, because the list of bat#### insane violent conservatives is long and well documented?

I'm guessing it's the horrors of a can of soup MuRdErInG artwork that only the rich can afford. I suppose it is a crime in that both cases there likely is jail time.

they can't. They'll cherry pick a few comments and use that to equivocate equal blame even though GOP lies and bull#### outnumber Democrats comment 100 to 1, if even that close

Holy #### guys. Get out of your echo chamber. Someone tried to assassinate a sitting justice.

He was angry over the recent mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and the leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, according to an affidavit from an FBI agent submitted last week in support of the criminal complaint.

I'm assuming that was sarcasm because... yes.

[corporatejay]

Also. I don’t think either party is to blame for any of this. I think crazy people do crazy stuff.

Sure, I mean it's not like any Republicans have been advocating for it...

In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

I'm sure you have loads of Democratic politicians saying the same, right?

Uh huh, and there is a whole multi billion dollar industry of media built upon stoking the fear and hatred of said people (infowars, breitbart, the daily wire, pragerU just off the top of my head).

From the people I talked to, it's more libertarian and people trying to live off the grid. I met with a few community leaders who sure liked to complain about immigrants and Indians ruining everything for them.
