How did some fucking Shamwow Vince wannabe be fuck become such a big name in politics?
Same way "Joe the Plumber", Kim Davis, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc. GOP elevates their story to the national spotlight to "prove their point" and then leaves them out to dry after their 15 minutes of fame have been used up.
lol i forgot all about joe the plumber.
Smh, the man wasn't even a plumber.
Kyle Rittenhouse was CNN and BLM racebaiting. Turns out he shot white people.
I agree with all your points except your opening comment and your final point.
I'd replace your final line with:
Did he go there hoping to use his shiny new gun, and stay in a volatile environment he should never have entered until finally he got the legally defensible excuse he went there looking for? Yes.
And as a bonus:
Does anyone at all believe that ridiculous crying act he pulled during the trial? God I hope not.
The law is the law (especially if you are white) and he managed to stay within it. I acknowledge that without for one minute believing he went there for any reason but hoping to use that gun.
Edit: While I'm at it --
Did the “soft-Authoritarian left” demonize him without nuance to make him into a scapegoat, radicalizing him towards authoritarian-right philosophies and talking-points? Absolutely.
Huh. I thought "personal responsibility" was a big thing with right wingers. I say he made his own choices to be there and do what he did, and he made his own choices to behave like a racist scumbag. He can choose to stop on any day. That responsibility lies on him.
I'm just not seeing the justification for your last statement, though I continue to agree with your comment regarding legality. No one's opinions about me are going to turn me into a maga, and I can't see how they would.
So you don't think he's deserving of any of those labels or any pejorative at all regarding his behavior before, during, and since? And that the presence of those absolves him of any responsibility for how he conducts himself going forward? If that's your position I both understand your prior comment, and acknowledge that we're not going to agree. Regardless, I appreciate that you took the time to clarify.
I would argue he had the right to be there. He worked in that town, and lived maybe 15 minutes away. And further more, it was a public area. Angry mobs dont own the street.
Same way a wannabe mob boss reality star did,
