When shooters are MAGA and anti-LGBTQ+, the right suddenly loses its appetite for conspiracy theories. A trans roommate becomes a national scandal, but MAGA shooters barely make the news, writes John Casey.

Did we ever find out what the kid with the trans roommate believed in politics-wise? The Groyper stuff seemed like a huge reach to me, but nothing came out that he was liberal right?

It’s because Christian nationalists only have one goal: genocide against trans people. They would rather have dead people than trans people, as they find trans people sinners that must be punished beyond redemption, as God’s will states, in their eyes.

Why do people say that a trans roommate is indicative of a liberal lean?
It is a fact that when ever the Republicans have a convention there they overwhelm Grinder.
Being an active in the closet republican is so common it approaches banal
And yes the Republicans (not just MAGA) stop talking about political violence as soon as they can’t deny the killer is MAGA. Note I say deny. They damn well knew the Trump shooters were right wing but as long as they could deny it they kept at it.

After each shooting, The National Organization of Women is like, “Of course it’s another man,” and the NAACP is like, “Of course it’s another white person,” and dolphins are like, “Of course it’s another human,” and nihilists are like, “Of course it’s someone with beliefs,” and quadriplegics are like, “Of course it’s one of those savages with fully-functional limbs.”

And let’s be serious, having a trans roomate didn’t raise him in a culture of guns with little value for other people’s lives. His maga parents did that.

Well when a MAGA person gun nut falls off the wagon, it’s a dog bites man situation, there isn’t much of a story, because no one is surprised it happened.

What about the most famous one? The Trump “assassin”? The right wing media has ignored that story and none of the Republicans seem all that curious either.

MAGA losers don’t care about anything that doesn’t confirm their existing biases.
Because the average Republican is genuinely dumb as dog shit.
Ok-disaster2022 on
The media is complicit in this.
Look how quiet things get when the shooter is presumably Maga. It will be framed as a “lone gunman” “no connections to any group”. White nationalists have been “lone gunmen” for decades.
You see this in copaganda as well. Long running cop shows will face off against “eco terrorists” several times or even as recurring antagonists, but right wing terrorists are always considered disgruntled loners with limited connections. Often times when there’s public protests by left wing groups the copoganda shows will have episodes where left winger terrorist show up because they are part of the problem of associated the left with every violent action and ignoring every violent action by the right.
And this happened in Nazi Germany. Jewish owned “moderate” newspapers would lamabast progressives for protests that became violent and completely not report when Nazis murdered people in the street because they didn’t want to seem “biased” against the right.

We have normalized mass shooters.

Yup exactly. The media went on for days and days about the horrific murder of an alt-right podcaster, but when something equally horrific happens during a church service, they stop writing about it as soon as they realize the act was committed by a Trump supporter.

Obviously pointing out their flaws doesn’t work. We need to point out the fact these are evil fucks who will stop at nothing to protect their asset.

That’s because our news outlets are run by spineless, selfish people who want nothing for this country but to be wealthy in it. Period.

Simple answer, it’s because it’s okay when _they_ do it. It’s always been that way with these guys.

it’s always the shooter’s roommate’s fault, right?

Yeah because it doesn’t push their narrative. They will ignore anything that doesn’t let them push further and further towards Nazi Germany 2.0

It could be because even republicans are far more scared of right wing shooters in general, I could imagine the media is literally worried about angering the maga crowd too too much so they just ignore it to keep themselves safe from violent retribution at the provocation for calling these people out for being as insane and violent as they are. If I’m right everything is cooked in America

The Trump Administration is actively concealing from the American people the rise in far right white supremacist violence and the fact that the Christian Nationalist MAGA movement is a white supremacist movement.

They only latch onto what they think will support their false narrative.
