    I’m simply not so sure we haven’t arrived at the same place anyway. Living in deeply Maga area, we’ve had fireworks shot off all night last night, as well as people posting up on corners with flags and guns. One person in my area said they were heiled and yelled “white power” at.

    It concerns me that people are trying to downplay this situation just because the man didn’t die. I think it’s the opposite. People are feeling riled up and emboldened in a way I don’t think they would if the shooter had succeeded.

      brump C’mon Jack we need to finish the job! Just so it’s clear to fedposting, that this is an issue I feel very reach around the aisle about, here’s a picture I secretly keep in my closet of my pragmatic messiah obama-drone. Disenfranchised tiedrich you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever and are our only hope

      Hex Bearers, channers, chapos.chatters, DO NOT do an adventure-time. Do be ready for doodoo to hit the fan doomjak

      Also living in Chudland encountering the same issue. There’s a lot of the obvious militia sorts stirring about, I kept seeing cars of them otw home, decal of this and that group. Reddit for my state vaguely had a post noting the like 3 dems and their supporters are starting to get phoned in threats from the local militias, it was quickly removed cuz reddit, but it seems my area isn’t the only one experiencing shit.
