Geee, it’s almost as if Republicans are violent and hateful.
But they are so "pro-life".
Charlie Kirk was pro life. He died pretty damned quick.
Pro-birth.
Not even that. If they were pro-birth, they'd at least be in favor of easy access to prenatal healthcare. But they're always opposed to that, too.
They're just pro-pregnancy. They don't give a shit if a woman's pregnancy is viable or not, let alone whether carrying the fetus to term will kill the woman or not.
Anti-choice is most appropriate. They don't care if a woman becomes pregnant as long as the woman is subservient.
Not saying I disagree with the statement, but where did you see that these men were Republicans? I didn't find any reference to any political motivation in the article, but I also didn't read it particularly thoroughly
If they were left leaning in any way they would have led with that.
Sometimes they lead with that even if it's not true.
If they even so much as had a conversation with a left-leaning person news would have led with that especially today
I didn't find any reference to any political motivation
I didn't either, but that probably implies they are white christofacists, right? (Or, as the Utah governor put it, "one of us"?)
If their demographic was any different and fit the narratives that the Right is trying to spin on this, it would have been leaked already....
It's probably best not to make assumptions before we know for sure.
Same as the motivations behind Charlie Kirk's shooter should not have been assumed to have been either left or right until we know for sure.
You're correct, but you are also assuming the media is honest. If I am correct in my assumption that the media (or, at least the mega corporations that own them) are carefully curating favor with the administration, then if these people were "on the right" we'll be told that they are "on the left" anyway.
It’s probably best not to make assumptions before we know for sure.
Right, but we can make educated deductions based on what we know. I tend to agree that (as with the case with Kirk's killer), if any politics left of center were involved, we likely would have heard about it already.
You are correct, but I will say, their fascist in chief has been demonizing the media, and the right has a track record of domestic terrorism, so while it is possible they were progressive people, chances are they were conservatives
Not Republican, MAGA. Republicans don't exist anymore. And we know they were MAGA, because the bomb didn't go off, because MAGAs are predictably virtuosically incompetent. If they were Democrats, the bomb would have worked.
Also Republicans are too cowardly to try to bomb anything. MAGAs are cowardly, too, but the are also breath-takingly stupid, so their stupidity often overwhelms their cowardice, and they do remarkably dumb stuff, like try to storm the Capitol.
tomato tomato dude
And incompetent.
What’s going on in Utah?
Just your normal religious and political oppression.
Johnny Harris just did a video about his time as a Mormon and how rich the church is
Average day in Utah, and every other Red state.
Wait, Jason Segal was in SLC Punk? I've only seen it once, way back in highschool and I must not have known who he was back then. Huh.
He's all straight-laced, but the most punk of them all.
Ah, It's kind of coming back to me. I guess I just didn't know who he was at the time. How does the movie hold up, worth a rewatch in 2025?
SLC punk?
Aye. One of my favs.
American stochastic terrorism
Yep, we're starting to see the results of 40+ years of very dark, very violent propaganda
Mormonism and narcissism. I say this as a former Mormon from Utah. They are not as peaceful as they seem.
High profile Mormon crime in the past 10 years alone is pretty staggering
Whole show called American Primeval about the Mormons. Great miniseries.
Just the usual right wing terrorism.
Nothing has changed.
too much SALT lakes.
Hmmm I sure wonder which side these two guys belonged to.......
Definitely liberal democratic socialists. Definitely.
They probably have pro-trans ideologies
Most probably even worse: Anti-car ideologies, even trying to destroy a car
I heard they spray painted a fighter jet 😨😨😨
What was the bomb wearing?
that van's skirt was way too short
When are they getting invaded with Nazi jackboots?
I recommend watching “murder among the Mormons” on Netflix.
under the banner of heaven is great too. depicts leaving a cult quite honestly
Looks like right wing Muslims playing the smart game and provoking the nazis I to do what they always wanted to do.
Fuck both of them.
