only the influencers are calling this, drum up shit to gain more views.
There's this perverse incentive in how these people make money and a living. If they abandoned the culture war, they'd be broke.
I can excuse a room full of slaughtered schoolchildren, but I draw the line at one dead guy!
Retribution against who? We don't know who did it or if they were associated with any group.
The ‘who’ was decided long before Kirk was shot. Trump has been praying for this day. He doesn’t give a shit about who shot Kirk. Trump can tell his cultists anything and they will believe it. Shit, Trump could have shot Kirk himself, on camera, and his imbecile army would believe it was the ghost of Jimmy Carter if Trump said so. People are saying that this is the spark that will touch off Trump’s retribution. Bitches, his retribution was already well underway.
I'm pretty sure you know who: whoever they're scapegoating this month, which is probably us.
But the real reason they want a civil war is that they think they have the upper hand and can establish minority rule.
You're dumb, the right always know who did what. They are basically all Sherlock Holmes. /s
ANY excuse to openly target liberals.
They don’t even know who did it and they want retribution? It could have been a pelestian illegals immigrant for all they know.
The GOP is already at war with us. They are stealing all of our public funding, they are taking away vaccines that save our lives, they are sending in armed military to keep us in fear, and they have purchased the supreme court to give them whatever they want.
The war started in January when the pedophile got into office.
They're just mad they got punched back
We don't even know that. Its completely possible kirk was cheating on his wife with the killer and things did not end amicably.
In most cases of murder the murderer is somebody the victim knew.
So, people on the right are calling for violence against the left? And this is different from any other day ending in Y because....?
This is something a lot of people don't seem to understand. The right has already been calling for leftists to be dragged to the streets and executed. Celebrating a dead Nazi isn't going to change that.
What about the assassination of a senator? Did that also upset the right, or where they all cheering?
It's okay if they kill a demon-rat. The brain washing combined with stupidity dissolves them of any wrong doing.
School kids no, politicians what?, LGBTQ+ lol, immigrants whatever, but a POS grifter who dedicated his life to spreading hate, lies, racism, propaganda, protecting pedos, and who has done more damage to this country than most other people. TIME FOR WAR!!!
Well yeah, it’s the pedos and racists and haters who are angry about people being gleeful
War against who? Do we have the perpetrator? Do we know their political affiliation? The Trump shooter was a registered Republican. Are they waging war against their own party?
Obviously they don’t need evidence to be horrifically violent shit stains, they’ve managed that well enough so far.
I love how some officials are already calling it a "political assassination" and everyone is talking about "political violence" when there's not even a suspect.
We don't know what the shooter's motives were, but there's a whole bunch of people who really want this to be political.
When this turns out to be a disgruntled MAGA nut, I hope they reflect fondly on " We are all domestic terrorists".
The shooter could be a sitting MAGA congressman, and they'd still say he was a liberal.
When 9/11 happened, they were scheming in the White House the next day about how they could blame this on Iraq, because that's who they wanted a war with, even though everyone knew that it was Al Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden, and financed by Saudi Arabia.
I was going to note that it's not known who did it or why, but that doesn't really matter, does it?
Nope. This shit is even on linkedin. And that includes my braindead countrymen too. They're blissfully unaware that the melon-headed fuck would've called them unclean, stinky, smelly pajeets. Fucking morons.
Let's get some National Guard troops on the ground in Utah! DC was invaded because a little shit was beaten up by a child. No talk of Utah and an actual killing. Typical.
A single and fatal shot fired from the roof of a tall building 200 yards away while Kirk was under a canopy.
Despite strict lockdown procedures being a normal part of every college campus in 2025, the college officially evacuates the campus and the shooter just walks away.
The FBI quickly catches and releases the wrong suspect twice, and the only description they can offer is a man in dark clothing.
I have to admit this does have government conspiracy written all over it, but guess who currently controls the government?
Well, that side has been itching to start their civil war, and they're absolutely capable of sacrificing one of their own in order to obtain the license they think they need. Stranger things have happened.
Do literally anything, you doughy fucking turds.
So should it have been war when that nightclub happened in Florida? Or maybe all schoolchildren in the country oughta declare war on everyone else.
Crime in Utah is out of control. Fucking red state criminal haven, send in the Guard!
Guys if we're not careful they're going to turn the US Military on blue cities!
...oh wait.
Retribution? To who? Your own party for inviting violence and radicalizing your own populace with hate and intolerance?! How about making a million empty promises and not seeing a single one come to fruition, and now your citizens are seeking retribution from the liars and cheaters who stole their votes to enrich themselves on the backs of the American people, the very people who lifted them into power. Gonna go around punching yourselves in the face?
Retribution against who, exactly...? Who do they randomly want to lynch in the street? Just the next person they see with hair that's too long/short in their view? Maybe they want to shoot up some more gay bars...?
It’s like in Andor where they shoot their own people and blame it on their adversary.
What is it they think they are threatening to do at this point? Taking hostages? Send them to a death camp? Cleanse entire communities? They kinda already came in hot and late to be threatening that there is anything left to lose worth stopping at prior to this point.
At this point the right wing description of a leftist is so amorphous it includes everyone and nobody.
So for conservatives it probably means brown people and trans people.
Ya mean finds excuse to hurt the people they already hate by simply assuming there's a connection?
Anyone see the video where two men directly behind him were doing really obvious hand signals? Is it up somewhere on lemmy because Reddit took it down?
What?
I don't know if this is a decent source, but at least it's context.

We are already living under a vengeful president's regime. America rejected him once, and he never stopped bitching about it. But you don't get to reject a narcissist. So he's taking it out on the people that did so.
All this killing does is give his sycophants a little more fuel on the bonfire of fear they've been stoking since 9/11. Who are they declaring war on? We don't even know who did this. It's always a fucking war with these whiny piss baby conservatives. It changes nothing.
Reagan declared war on America forty-five fucking years ago.
