I’m still not fully sure who he was. 3 days ago, I’d never heard the name.
Now suddenly the GOP are treating this as some holy figure bound to create conspiracy theories. Which will be parroted on Fox News, which means by 2pm, parroted by Trump himself.
…and other than being a GOP podcaster, I still have no idea who he was.
You aren’t his audience. He was almost exclusively speaking to young men, and was very successful in recruiting and indoctrinating young conservatives. He is a major reason that Trump had such large support among young men.
He had taken Rush Limbaugh’s place as MAGAs top recruiter/indoctrinator, and they thought he’d go for decades. Now they have to groom someone new, again.
If it was an outsider, it shows some strong, long-term strategic thinking. He heloed prevent DECADES of conservative damage.
On the other hand, he’s been calling for release of the Epstein Files, and with his audience reach, he could do serious damage to Trump. Perhaps the MAGAs figured he’d served his purpose, helped get Trump reelected, and since there aren’t going to be any more elections, his purpose has been served, and his notoriety can be exploited in a different way - as a martyr.
If you want to know what type of shitstain he was, just look at all of the quotes going around Lemmy. They are not exaggerated or taken out of context. He literally said empathy is bad and causes a lot of harm. He literally said gun violence and daily fucking school shootings are the price for being able to own guns… That’s the tip of the iceberg.
Exactly. The word Irony is often used incorrectly these days, but THIS is a perfect example of classic irony - he excuses school shootings as a necessary part of American life, and then he dies in a school shooting.
That’s putting your money where your mouth is. I’d almost respect it, but no MAGA deserves any respect.
Well I guess the public shooting of him was just the cost of gun ownership in this country. Don’t worry. He doesn’t want you to feel bad for him. Remember, he’s AGAINST empathy! So you should honor his wishes, and not feel any empathy at all for him.
I would continue to use his own words against him, but firstly, I don’t know anything else about him. Not that I’m complaining. Seems to me everything about him just pisses me off. So for my own mental health, I’m ok being ignorant about this guy.
But secondly, I’m so far behind the game on this, that I fear any cynical jokes I make at his expense might be new to me, but for everybody else I’d be going through the old reruns of obvious jokes. With me being the only one who hadn’t heard them before.
So instead, maybe we all set up a nationwide activity. We all go pee on his grave. C’mon! It’ll be like hands across America. Except instead of raising money for AIDS research during it’s infancy, we’ll instead be whipping out our cocks, and pissing on this assholes grave. And ladies, I didn’t forget about you. I’ll be selling funnels with tubes duct taped to them. So you don’t have to miss out on the piss fest!

Meh, right-wing talking heads like him are a dime a dozen. The real power is in the media that feature them.

Not just the price, but a worthy price. I find it ironic that he himself has now been victim of a school shooting.

Perfect.
I knew there was some guy who was being parodied for his tiny face, but that was it.
