馃УThe US had yet another mass shooting today and as with almost all of them, he is a right-wing extremist who wrote fascist propaganda slogans and tributes to McVeigh and others on his weapon .
Republicans killed the American dream and then blamed Democrats for their action.
Trump was supposed to be the great savior: "I alone can fix it."
But he didn't. The despair that Trump won't save is breaking the minds of millions of ppl.
And Republicans are giving them guns. Why is that?
Believing that there is a "god" is already mental illness by its own...
Reactionaries--like their less psychologically deformed cousins the conservatives--have a tragic worldview.
They believe that all humans are evil, lazy, and stupid, and that the best you can do in life is to take care of yourself and possibly the people in your family.
This viewpoint is the root belief of all right-wing opinions: The world has always been terrible and always will be.
It's why Republicans won't pass obvious gun safety laws. They genuinely believe they will not work.
In fact, some right-wingers have gaslit themselves so badly that they genuinely believe that "more guns means less crime."
Never mind that countries like Australia have proven definitively that you can eliminate gun violence by tightening gun ownership laws.
Beyond this though, reactionaries are almost all religious fanatics who genuinely believe that the world is "fallen" and only forced submission to their religion will end violence.
Even the elites, like Trey Goudy, believe this. Watch:
When a right winger says "afraid of crime" they mean "afraid of black and brown people"
Odds are good the second amendment was added because the slave states didn't think the federal government would save the plantation owners from a slave uprising.

This is the tragic morality, which you can see so clearly in the writings of all major right-wing philosophers like Nietzsche.
It originates in their psychological state, which usually is the product of abusive parents who bullied or even hurt them.
JD Vance and Stephen Miller, the odious Trump aide, are the pinnacles of this mentality. Here's Miller talking about his terror of walking outside in Washington, DC.
In the tragic worldview, no one is obligated to help another and no one ever should.
After the Nazis were defeated, this openly authoritarian viewpoint was sublimated as obviously too fashy or Nazi.
But since Trump came along, he has given reactionaries permission to unleash their inner demons upon the world.
Right-wing Christian commentator Allie Beth Stuckey has a book out now called "Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion."
It's Nietzsche with an Instagram filter
To reactionaries, the solution to mass gun violence and other criminality is more violence and criminality.
This is the root of why they wish to give guns to teachers, "harden" schools until they look like prison camps, and why Trump is sending American soldiers to turn cities into militarized zones.
Violence is the fate of humanity, they argue, and only submission to the great leader, whether Trump or Jeebus, can end the cycle of violence.
This thesis is the core argument of Rene Girard, the third-rate philosopher that Trumpian oligarch king Peter Thiel worships.
Girard is the skeleton key to understanding what the right wing wants. Most are so inarticulate that they are incapable of saying what they really want.
But Girard lays it all out there in his book "I See Satan Fall Like Lightning" which is the only book you'll ever need to read from these assholes.
