This really should have laid bare to libs just how exactly things work in our 'capitalist utopia'
The insane, multi-state hunt to find the shooter (who may not even be the guy), the ridiculous things liberal legislators have said in the days since, THIS derangement where CEOs get a batphone direct to the pigs...
But they're all gonna vote blue for midterms and in 2028 while whining about leftists not wanting to work with them
"We need to change the system from within" is all well and good until you realize that the system is also being changed from within by people who are using the system as it's intended. Reformist attempts are always paddling upstream. Conformist reaction always has the benefit of moving with the momentum of the system itself.
At some point the effort to shackle and tame capitalism and use it for good outweigh the benefits of keeping it intact.
Libs will never admit this, of course, because it's "the least worst thing" or whatever bullshit somebody else told them that they conveniently never thought of themselves.
