    Ethnic nationalism, fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, hate speech, blatant disregard of law and signed treaties on treatment of refugees, a whole shiiteload of mass shootings, etc, combined with the abuser's mantra that the victims 'made' them do it. It's past time for them to nut up or shut up.

    Could you please show us some of those evidence you have to show he's a bigot? I'll go for the lying part, but none of his lies hurt you or I.

    Why should anyone in the US give a crap about what happens in New Zealand?

    The number of people who support fringe right wing politics like fascism is about as large as those on the left who support fringe left wing politics like communism and intersectional class war. Which is to say it is extremely small.

    The vast, vast majority of people just want what's best and bear no ill will toward anyone.

    There are legitimate grievances on both sides.

    If we marginalise those on the left who have legitimate grievances about discrimination it will push them toward the extreme.

    If you marginalise those on the right who have legitimate grievances about intersectionality it will push them toward the extreme.

    We need to come together, moderates on all sides, to condemn violence in all its forms. Period. No matter the reasoning, no matter the justification, the only way we get through this is by calling out those on both sides.

    Sadly, this will never happen, so the white working class will be pushed into fascism and the intersectional coalition will be pushed toward communism

    And this shooter will succeed in dividing us.

    But not without our help.

    Well there's your problem, just like many others, the OP for example... you're trying to conflate all of that with conservatives/conservatism in general. You've managed to wrap it all up in one idiotic statement. Nicely done. This is basically what steadypie was referring to. Then of course, I'm sure you'd like to pretend that progressives are as pure as driven snow.

    You musy be typing on a phone like me, as it seems to have got lost in translation a bit there.

    Ill say it again. This shooter had nothing to do with Trump. The 8chan crowd does not like Trump, they think he is head of the shills. They find the narrative of him as some white supremacist as useful to their purposes. Thats on those who create that false narrative, not Trump.

    Read the manifesto.

    Maybe if I throw a bunch of meaningless leftist platitudes around, I’ll fool people into thinking I have a coherent thought. Nicely done.

    They could go observe this for themselves, but their hatred wouldn't allow the words on their screen to be processed by their brain.

    The TDS and the desire to push an agenda is just too strong.

    I might be able to understand his views on Muslims. We have some here in our government who won't swear in on the Bible. Who won't pledge allegiance to the country they are sworn to serve. Who believe in Sharia law over American law and do not want to assimilate into American society. It's been shown that many of the Muslims who were drawn into terrorism, were drawn into it from imam and clerics from American mosques. What kind of religion preaches hate instead of love in their most holy place? Muslims have sworn that their flag will one day fly over our White House. If you don't love our country, why would you want to live here. Why wouldn't you want to assimilate into our society? I realize all Muslims aren't bad. But most believe if they don't go strictly by the Koran, they can't be a good Muslim. The trouble they are having around the globe, I doubt very much what little Trump has said set them off. They have televisions and radios. They know what is happening around the world/

    Never said that all conservatives were like that. I did say (or at least imply), however, that the twatwaffles I listed definitely see conservatives as "their people." THAT is the problem "normie conservatives" must address. Lie down with dogs, and all that...

    I didn’t vote in 16, but trump was the lesser of two evils. Shillary was a psychopath.

    And Cantaloupe Caligula's not? You need to share what you've been smoking. And if you didn't even bother to vote in 2016, who the f*ck are you to even have an opinion on presidential politics either way at this point?

    Well I'm glad that's the only thing you can find fault with.

    It's what you led with. One can swear in on a copy of Hustler that Larry Flynt personally autographed with Hugh Hefner's semen and their service is no less valid than one who swore in on a Gutenberg Bible. You led with christofascism, which pretty much negated the content of the rest of your post.

    Because, I can. Don’t like it, pound sand for all I care.
    You sheep nominated a corrupt **** like Shillary, knowing that she cheated. What does that say about you?
    Say whatever you want about trump, but he didn’t have to buy off the gop to win.
    You have no moral high ground what so ever.
    ****ing deal with it.

    I asked you what it was that conservatives were dishing out, you answered as you did, too late to backtrack now.

    Here's a small sampling of why things aren't going to change, but get worse instead -

    You’ve been triggered since election night 2016. Give it a break already.

    You're the 4th or 5th progressive here at PF who's reacted with mockery when I've tried to explain or demonstrate what it is that makes people like Brenton Tarrant tick ( and to a far lesser extent conservatives in general). Do you not see the problem with that?

    This type of reaction is part of the problem. It's quite confusing also... because on the one hand we're warned of the severe danger posed by 'rightwing terrorism', but then on the other, the same people who're making the claims of said danger will turn right around and do/support the things which make these guys snap.

    So be it I guess.
