I know they’re going to say it is only jokes. Fuck that. I get y’all want to be edgelords, but this is the most dangerous thing that has happened this century. I would be surprised now if we make it to the end of the year without some people getting assassinated for real, and it will target overwhelmingly the leftest end of the spectrum.

Example, example, example. There are others.

Y’all are on the precipice of finding out firsthand the difference between “OMG I’m so oppressed, the police are racist and I’m struggling to pay my bills, civil war y’all” and “OMG I’m so oppressed, a gang of big violent fuckers with bats and boots and the support of the government just attacked my whole community, seriously hurt me, and burned part of my house down. They told us if they find us here tomorrow, they’ll kill us.”

      Edgelords who are serious (or even joking) about this tragedy.

      Tomorrow at the RNC, watch it. Every right-winger will be using this as proof of political violence and blame the left.

      And the left will be angered and make more edgelords jokes and we lose the election in a few months. Well, at the current path anyway. None of this shit helps.

      With luck, cooler heads prevail and people remember why we have a calm President like Biden in charge right now.

      But now DNC will have this shit hanging over it. Just a few shitty protesters will make everyone in the country hate Democrats.
