I have to laugh: I’m on a weekend with a bunch of guys who’ve been friends for 35 years. One guy is a Trumper. We avoid political conversations, but my friend the special master was talking about some of his work, which of course is vaccines. The Trumper jumps in with “Fauci is so evil, do you know what he did?” Etc. Try to steer it back to RFK jr, and it becomes “who are these elites to tell us what shots we should get?” And so on. I knew exactly what was coming become it was almost word-for-word stuff that Bob had said. A bunch of talking points that consistently shift the focus from the question at hand to the terrible people who Biden blah blah blah.

It’s amazing to me that a group of people who repeat the same shit in response to any reported fact are somehow advocates for free-thinking and individual choice.

Bob, you’ll never guess what!

The Guardian had to retract that quote from the anonymous source.

Editor’s note: this article was updated on 12 September 2025 to remove quotes after the verified source who attended high school with Tyler Robinson said after publication that they could not accurately remember details of their relationship.”

I feel that republicans have in some ways legitimized political violence and other violations if the law both by their rhetoric and by pardoning the January 6 perpetrators. I’m against all political violence, but I don’t think it’s shocking that those who live by the sword die by the sword.

That’s one anonymous report to a journalist. But since it fits in with your confirmation bias, cling onto that for dear life.

Suspect’s high school classmate says Robinson was the only ‘leftist’ in a family of ‘very hard’ Republicans
Anna Betts

In a phone interview on Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist”.

“The rest of his family was very hard Republican,” the friend said.

Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would “always just be ranting and arguing about them”.

The friend said that they played video games together a lot in high school and noted that the bullet engraving with the arrows was a reference to Helldivers 2 – which we mentioned earlier. He said that the arrows specifically were in reference to “calling in a big bomb that exists” in the game “called the 500 kilogram”.

When the friend saw the news on Friday, he said that he was shocked. “I knew he [Robinson] had strong political views, but I never thought it would even go near that far.”

The friend said that he has not spoken to Robinson in years and began to drift apart toward the end of high school. Another high school classmate separately told the Guardian that the friend and Robinson were close in school and would play video games.

Bob, I’ll redirect you to my above question on whether or not you agree with Charlie Kirk’s stance that “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s.”

Do you agree or disagree with this very influential Republican’s stance?

Do you agree or disagree that saying the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake should be considered racist?

To be clear, here is a fragment of the Civil Rights Act:

(a) All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.

If you want to discuss fascism, look into the nearest mirror. Which party tried to deny the American public the right to vote for the candidate of their choice by denying him ballot access? I’ll wait…. And this constant “He’s a racist… He’s a Fascist!” is the exact kind of stuff that ginned up a couple of unstable guys to try to kill Trump twice and actually did kill Charlie Kirk.

Seriously kiss my ass with this shit. Yesterday all day fucking long the braintrust of conservative social media were doing a full Radio Rwanda, spewing out blistering eliminationist rhetoric all day long. Laura Loomer, Libs of Tik Tok, Joey Mannarino, Elon Musk, and many more all spoke in the most vile and debased ways about Democrats needing to be eliminated.

It was the most fascist shit I’ve ever seen.
