This is the kind of thing that "makes sense and agrees with my beliefs" to his audience - people who don't fly. His party hammers down on flyover state residents to make them think people in planes are snobs. This keeps them from flying. This keeps them from traveling. This promotes the local echo chambers throwing snowballs at the other side's forts. This is by design.
Laughing at Trump has gotten old for me. He has bottomed out the level of idiocy so much that it's just not funny anymore, almost like a real-life flanderisation. If anything, it brings me sadness thinking how half of america is somehow more stupid than this guy.
If this community is going to be just a list of stupid shit Trump is going to say until the elections, I am not sure if I want it in my face every day, especially as a non-american. It must be possible for me to block posts based on words
Edit: At least on Eternity there is such a filter! I shall see nothing about this arsehole anymore
Eh, it was reported about the normal amount imo. With the violent lone-wolf types, sometimes media under-reports it to reduce copycat actions (see the famous Newswipe clip).
I'm aware of at least two posts about it from the ABC (national broadcaster)[1][2] and one from local news[3] (paywalled, mirrored here), though admittedly this one has a very local-news angle on it.
Most significantly, the manifesto favorably references Brenton Tarrant, the Australian-born terrorist who in March 2019 murdered 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Patten describes himself as having become fascinated by Tarrant’s actions.
There would appear to be copycat elements.
Yeah, hence some under-reporting of the details. There's some fair discussion about reporting / commentary on recent protests there but I don't personally think the comparison to this incident seems fair.
It's mostly right wingers who murder for political reasons. When you know deep down your worldview is a snakepit, that's when you decide to take the law into your own hands like that.
John Wilkes Booth was part of the Know Nothing Party a left leaning party
Lee Harvey Oswald was a socialist which is left leaning
Both women that shot at Gerald R Ford were part of different left leaning programs
Actually looks like most of the assissinations are done from left leaning individuals. Not that I'm taking sides on that matter just a cursory Google search
I don't have time. The problem is that academics do not want to be seen as making a political statement so you have to find a particular type of source.
I've definitely seen and fact checked lists of terrorist acts aside their committers' political leanings. Most of them are right wingers, in the US at least. That's been true since at least the 80s
If the assassination of Julius Caesar became a model for the effective removal of a tyrant, it was also a powerful reminder that getting rid of a tyrant did not necessarily dispose of tyranny.
Its funny, I can not read a single word of that article and confidently say that he didnt suggest that. I can do this so easily because EVERY TIME these stories are exaggerations or directly manufactured stories based on "sources close to trump".
Trump's very interesting for all astrophysicists. His brains seems like a black hole. Some say there's a whole new universe in it. Some say it's terrible, no good place to live in, in there. So who's right?
