The perpetrator does not even appear to be trans though. It's just 100% fiction.
Honestly it's so on-brand for Republicans to believe a lie
IIRC, over 90% of mass shootings in the US are white males, and the majority of US terrorism in general too.
Ugh. I am just so sick and tired of all this. We aren't doing anything wrong. I just want to live my life as my authentic self without the fascists trying to ruin everything.
Since when do they need "evidence" to start spreading talking points? Hell they don't even need facts to make it all the way to the supreme court.
You want to know what to cause of this is?
Poverty.
People are pushed to the edge and are angry. They take it out on society because that is who they blame.
We need healthcare, higher wages and affordable housing, we need employee protection in workplaces, we need mandatory paid sick and time off.
I’m not defending the shooter, what he did was wrong. But I’m blaming the government for the endless news feed of mass shootings.
There is a solution and it is being withheld.
