Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.

    That’s because 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was charged earlier this week with murdering Kirk at a speaking event last week, reportedly used Donald Trump’s name as an alias on the Valve-owned gaming storefront at one point. Sources told Bloomberg the reference to the president is what led to the Secret Service’s involvement despite the Homeland Security agency having no role in protecting Kirk at the time of the assassination.

      1.) If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24 and legally had the ability to do so, you’re not a Liberal or Progress, full stop.

      2.) No Liberal or Progressive would want to be associated with Trump, even ironically for the “lols”.

        He bagged some transgender baddie and it turned a God-fearing conservative white boy into a radical sleeper cell leftist assasin. That’s why they are trying to keep us transgender girlies down…

          Yeah, if the published narrative is true this is a man who was taught by the right wing all their shit with guns and everything that came out of the militia movement through maga, then fell for a trans chick, and questioned the narrative but not the means then did what the right was amping up to do.

          The left was taught through extreme state retaliation and intense media spin that violent actions work against our goals outside very specific situations (waiting for them to attack first in ways the center is horrified by). Between cointelpro and the green scare we’ve more or less learned to keep to demonstrations that strive to build popular support. Meanwhile during that same time the right has been building armed compounds because they understand the double standards. After Waco the government was afraid to crack down on righr wing paramilitaries.

          Sometimes the Stochastic Terrorism boomerangs.

          This is exactly what intelligent people have been saying for years would happen.

          Some MAGAt, primed for violence, finally figures out they’ve been lied to for 10 years & decided to put that penchant for violence to use.

          Both of Trump’s would-be assassins were registered Republicans.

        Specifically looking at the games he played, his name will show up constantly as:

        Donald Trump was fragged by X. Donald Trump was stabbed by Y. X was splattered by Donald Trump.

        Kill feeds, it’s an old joke for gamers. Obama splattered Miley Cyrus, that kind of shit. I don’t think ‘2.)’ is accurate, at all.

              Nah killfeeds are basically dead these days. Modern games are so information dense that many don’t even ship the feed and if they do most people don’t even notice it. That’s definitely not why someone would meme as Donald Trump.

              It’s just rage bait and I agree with OP that no left/liberal person would cosplay Donald Trump because why would you rage bait your own side? It’s like an Ukrainian puting Putin avatar on - it makes no sense other than brain damage.
