    Please don’t give the fascist any more free exposure.

    It’s legit a good meme. But I don’t feel good about giving the fascist shithead more exposure with an election coming up and him still running in it.

    EDIT: Overreaction, I was being a bit sensitive, apologies.

      Oh come on. This was going ultra viral from the first fist pump. It’s just about the worst thing that could happen right now and conservatives are going to be rubbing it in our faces for months. We have to get the jokes in where we can just to cope.

            I want to laugh but my stomach still hasn’t unclenched. We’ve seen enough historical dictator shit to recognize the almost-perfect setup here. I am not implying that this is a conspiracy, but it sure feels like watching the beginning of a dystopia film, except it’s real, and there’s not much we can do about it. If you’re already at the laughing phase, I’m mostly just jealous.

            Crying and laughning simultaneously as I apply for a visa to leave this, as our facist overlord would say, “shithole country”

      eh, nah. this one is less pointed but i definitely think there is room for messaging involving this tragedy that does more than just give a platform. use their own words against them.

      They will inspire more assasination attempts. It will actually get people to think on how they can actually take down this man outside the bounds of electoralism. The smugness will only get more crazys to kill this man at all costs.

      But why? He’s been calling for violence forever.

      If the tables were turned, he would say some asinine remark like “you call for violence, it answers” or some shit

      Nah, shooter was registered Republican. The guy who somehow crawled onto a rooftop in plain view of crowd members and wasn’t capped by the SS until after a suitably dramatic botched “attempt.”
