Like I said before I have nothing against most if not all of you on here, it's the extremes in both parties that concerns me. the loony leftists and the insane MAGA far righties. Over the weekend I talked to a MAGA extremist. I asked what they felt about the shooting of renee good. their answer, ice agent should have shot her she was a lesbian and and ugly to boot, they went on to say ice should have shot the other woman too. I then asked if they thought that windmills caused cancer, and if they thought that they were really eating the dogs and cats in Illinois. answer if trump says it's happening then it's happening. I asked what they thought about jan 6, answer those people were patriots just trying to do the right thing the democrats are nuts.. at that point I just smiled and said I see your point
I was not talking about things personally between us. If I ever met you, I'd buy you a beer, we'd chat, and the conversation would go very differently. Messages don't come across the same way in person when you don't see facial expressions, tone etc....
I don't know any hard core MAGA folks, but plenty of conservatives. The general view on this seems to be:
1. Nobody is happy anyone got killed.
2. However, if you are going to disrupt men with guns doing their jobs, getting shot is always a possibility.
3. This woman made a series of poor decisions that led to this. And she had no business being there.
4. Agent acted appropriately, and it's easy for armchair QBs to say he could have easily stepped aside.
5. This woman was likely the product of manipulation, via her friend circles, the one child she had custody of's school, and her history. She was one of the unfortunate pawns doing the bidding of the billionaires and rich who are sowing division, hate, and partisanship.
