Alleged maga mormon shooter tyler robinson was the ideal republican child growing up in the perfect republican home, family, neighborhood, and environment.
He was white.
He was male.
He grew up in a comfortable home with enough to eat.
He grew up in a non-urban neighborhood with few to no people of color.
He grew up in a god-fearing, devoutly religious, church-going christian family in rubiest reddest Utah.
His mother and father were married and cis-heterosexual.
His father was in law enforcement.
He was brought up to understand and respect guns.
That family knows only republicans--his grandma says they're all maga, and they don't even know any non-republicans.
According to republican propaganda through the decades, these are the exact conditions required to keep kids from turning to crime, including using a gun to commit murder.
But it seems that tyler robinson hated charlie kirk, so he used a gun to shoot him dead.
Why is there such a disconnect between republican propaganda and the very real reality of rampant republican violence?
Because republican propaganda is lies.
republicans lie because the nra owns them--they refuse to deal with the real problem, so they resort to lies and propaganda.
The real problem is that America is infested with guns.
There are more guns here than people.
It's safe to say that anyone who would even strongly consider--let alone actually commit--the crime of murdering one or more other people with a gun is mentally ill.
But every other developed nation on this planet has mental illness! And video games! And liberals! And atheists! And people of color, poor people, queer people...!
And NONE has the epidemic of daily gun violence and mass shootings we do in America.
It's only here, where we worship the sanctity of guns and sacrifice expendable innocent schoolchildren to them, that the most common cause of childhood death is not car accidents or disease but gunshots.
IT'S THE GUNS, STUPID!!!
Friends, we must vote out every republican in perpetuity.
We must vote in only Democrats at every level of government, from local dog catcher up to President of the United States.
Democrats may not be perfect, but they're the only practical opponents we can deal with and win against to make America a better, safer place for all of us.
We must vote for Democrats up and down the line in perpetuity because it's the only way to root all money out of politics; tax the rich into paying their fair share and tax billionaires out of existence; restore human rights to women, children, people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, seniors, veterans, and other poor and disadvantaged Americans; restore accountability to politics and media; restore democracy by eliminating the electoral college and establishing one person-one vote; and end the infestation of guns and the epidemic of gun violence.
It's time, and we can do it.
There are more of us than there are of them.
If you have any doubt regarding whom to vote for, listen to what Black women say, and watch what Black women do. Watch Tabitha Speaks Politics. These ladies have been through it all, and they know what the most practical course of action is every step of the way.
Quit with the purity tests and focus on eliminating fascism, reducing harm, and doing what's BEST for most of us.
It can be done, and we can do it.
We MUST do it!
LET'S GO.
