Seems like they only have a problem when it’s their boy getting violence.

    What, exactly, are they scared of? Being told they’re wrong to support trump? Being told facts about conservative actions that have damaged, and will actively worsen, people’s lives, geopolitics, society, and the planet that make them face the fact that their beliefs suck and are harmful? Does it scare them to hear that trump is a piece of shit for innumerable completely objective reasons?

    Because I don’t know of any liberals threatening to bring tiki torches to conservative rallies and act like the Hitler Youth, I don’t hear of liberal laws being made that make it ok to run over conservative protesters with your car. I don’t see armed liberals showing up at polling stations.

    So what is it they’re scared of, other than being told they’re horrible for supporting a fascist and the dismantling of our democracy?

      It’s regular Repub persecution complex. Saw an opportunity and leapt on it, “muh both sides are so full of hate, why can’t we all get along?” I wonder if they quietly deleted the tweet after finding out the shooter is a fellow Repub?

      They’re scared of losing their customer base. If most of their customers are trending politically left, they know that it’s a potential corporate death sentence to say they support fascism.
