Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Suppressed Poet]

First of all, show me in the photo of the victims which leads you to believe they were all "white people"

Second, as you now come to realize your stupidity now that you realize the white supremecist murdered three Asians, three Hispanics, a middle eastern woman, and a single 'white person' in acting out his pre-planned hate crime. please explain to me why someone who has posted a white supremecist manifesto, wears white supremecist paraphernalia and bears Neo-Nazi tattoos still isn't a white supremacist?

Seran, what exactly are you getting at by making this crazy fuck out to be a white supremacist and that his motivation was ultra-MAGA whatever reasons? Why don’t you just be direct and say you really don’t give a damn who gets murdered or why as long as you can repeat a narrative that places all the blame on the Republican Party?

[Seran]

Waaaaa, please stop refuting our attempts to paint this white supremacist's hate crime as being the fault of liberal immigration policies.

I'll tell you, the echo chamber you've got going on with the more nutty right wing conservatives on this board is fair game. When you post off the wall, insane theories trying to blame others for the extremism propagated by the policies of your Conservative leadership and lax gun control, people respond. If you guys want to go create a discord channel hitching about your theories, go ahead, but stop crying about people responding to your crackpot posts.

I do my best to refrain from crackpot theories as you describe and projecting the blame for a mass shooting on an entire political party.

I’ve been consistent in saying that it doesn’t matter the motivations of these sick mofos out there indiscriminately murdering people. They don’t speak or represent any group and they should be universally condemned. We obviously have different ideas of how to prevent & solve the problem.

I don't think Shaps understands the entirety of the foster care and child protective services systems in the United States doesn't require parental permission for placement. Makes sense though if you only paid attention to the bolder part and ignored the relevant language:

"Feasible" to them = "Will the parents help him cut off his dick? No? He stays here then and we will cut off his dick."

And you, Seran, a giant pedo groomer, are like:

You'll shut gave to get over that sometimes bad parents have their parental rights terminated to protect children they've harmed.

Setting aside your inability to communicate for a moment, what defines "harmed" in this situation? The fact that the parents won't let their kid cut off his dick or chemically castrate himself?

Tell us specifically what this "harm" consists of.

No, SP is 100% correct. You don't give a shit about anything to do with any shootings other than "There must be a way to blame this on Trump!"

People who do not have parental rights do not have the right to dictate the safety and well being of their victims. Stop supporting child abuse and neglect.

Parents typically have parental rights over their kids.

Know who doesn't? The government.

Stop supporting pedophilia and child mutilation you greasy unwashed slob.

You've probably been one of the most even keeled members of the Conservative team on the forum, even if your childish antics and name-calling have severely weakened your credibility. It's hard to find support for one party that blocks reasonable gun controls in the light of so many deadly attacks by people sporting extremist right wing ideology. It would be far simpler to I say 'oh but that is just the extreme flank of our party' which was true, before Donald Trump. Now though? Your Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, Boebert and others champion that extremism and have held hostage the same moderate portion of the Republican Party.

[Stop It]

Name calling instead of reasonable arguments and your fixation on pedophilia makes you look bad.

Stop it.

What gun controls would you like to see added?

Thank you for the backhanded compliment. I’ll own the childish antics and name calling part. It’s the PC and all in good fun. I don’t think you & I could be anymore politically different though. I say with true sincerity that as much as I may call you a retard and such, in reality I harbor you no ill will. You are OUR retard, and I do actually enjoy our conversations.

The problem I have with what you call reasonable gun control is I find it very unreasonable. I’m an adamant supporter of individual liberties, our constitution, and the limits they impose on government…not just the 2nd but all of them. The proposed gun control legislation of “assault weapons” ban, magazine capacity limits, red flag laws that bypass due process, “universal background checks” aka a gun registry, mandatory waiting periods, and a government permission slip to exercise God-given rights are in violation of the Constitution. To add insult to injury, it’s dubious at best thinking that any of those measures would do anything to actually prevent insane people hell-bent on violence from acting on their intent.

As to your comment about Republican extremism and House members like MTG, Matt Gaetz, Boebert, and some others…those people are idiots. The Republican Party has always had its small share of far right. I do somewhat agree that the party as a whole has had more influence from that group & those kind of people than the past, but I would counter to say that it a reactionary movement in response to the Democrat Party moving further and further to the left. Extremism breeds more extremism. Are you too blind and partisan to not acknowledge the Democrat Party has more extremism than it did say 10 years ago? These include in the House: AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and more. I don’t see you pointing to those people as extremist or condemning them.
