Wouldn’t necessarily put this to a political side. Dude was just crazy
Yeah, a crazy, religious, republican white dude that slashed the throat of a brown-skinned girl with a head covering on.
I hate to tell you this, but you can be crazy and politically motivated. The distinction is becoming increasingly difficult to make.
There were dozens of republican "totally not crazy people" calling for a meteorologist to be murdered because she simply reported on the last hurricane, because she was part of the vast, laser-wielding, weather-controlling leftist cabal. A theory propagated by right-wing talking heads and mainstream, right-wing politicians.
Being mentally unstable does not mean racist political motivations somehow "don't count." It's not even always clear what the order of influence is.
Nothing in the article says anything about his politics. I don’t understand why I’m being downvotes
🙄
Because you’re going against the Lemmy hive mind.
Because both sides have extremists. And the liberal extremists live here. Just keep in mind society failed the extremists on both sides. It isn't entirely thier fault.
Aren't MAGAs crazy?
If not for conservatives, the U.S. would have mental healthcare support systems the way every other developed nation on earth does.
Conservatives don't believe the study of psychology is valuable. They do not support mental healthcare. They do not believe the science of mental healthcare. Conservatives did this and they continue to insist on these conditions on a national scale. Fuck conservatives. They are 100% responsible for attacks by mentally ill people.
This isn't politics. This is good vs evil, plain and simple. Conservatism is a scourge of oppression and death. It always has been.
Don't act like you don't recognize one of your own.
Both things can be true at the same time.
