Yeah it's stupid to want all the evidence before making a conclusion. Yes definetly.

Authorities identify suspicious packages sent to high-profile Dems/news outlets, live explosives

1) As I said above, he's the defacto leader. I'm sure many members of the GOP would rather have someone else.
2) Why would they hold him responsible other than shaking their finger and public admonishments? He is passing bills they want passed.
Strawman. A bigger picture can be formed in far less than a month. For example, compiling multiple tweets from outspoken Republicans, politicians, or conservative media figures saying thing would be interesting.
A single hot take tweet by an idiot online is worthless and lazy. It doesn't add anything to the discussion and is just a drive by post to flare outrage.
Sure, I guess. Still don't see how it's productive. We already know how these wastes think. Spreading their crap here just serves to demoralize and upset people, imo. I can see where you're coming from, though.
It's domestic terrorism made to destabilize our nation before the elections. I know there was just a thread on what I'm about to say but lock this person up and throw away the key.
Anybody shocked by Owens tweet need to understand that concessions only exist because it's considered morally right, when you concede or defend an action most people will see you as either weak or in the wrong. Its why conservatives only attack, when this bomber is exposed as a right wing terrorist she won't apologise or concede, she will state that it was Democrat divisiveness that caused it.
When you attack you still convince the people who want to believe you, when you defend you look bad to everyone.

Being socially liberal doesn't automatically mean you're into projects that support those in need.
None of what you've said clearly defines the GOP as a terrorist organization. Actually believe that they are is just extremist politics.
Trump and his the small base that make up his rabid supporters may represent an extremist organization within the GOP, but to say that the entire party joins them is indeed hyperbolic.
Come on man, the nationalism and reaganomics bit is hate since that had a lot to do with negative identity politics.
If a person is "socially liberal" and aren't into projects to help those in need, then they aren't socially liberal. We are talking about U.S here by the way.
There was still a level of plausible deniability there. It's getting pretty obvious so they won't be able to wiggle out of it. This is war and until now only one side really realizes it. There will be no civility, no coming together, no reaching out, no unity until these people are properly dealt with.
She's playing her part. There must be good money in being a right wing douche pundit.
"Strawman"? i am jsut saying your impatience may mean you would be more satisfied at reading monthly, researched content instead of live content like twitter or Resetera, where people are used to the drip feed.
I'm pretty convinced she's a grifter at this point. Not that that absolves her of any of her crap; if anything, it makes it worse.
Joe Biden sounds like "Please work together with the people who want to murder you!"
Anyone else scared of election day violence targeted at polling places? Things are getting intense and Trump is preaching that a Democrat victory will be apocalyptic.
We have posters on this forum that support Candace Owens. They would never post in this thread, but they're probably reading this.
Didn't see a response to this, but: Jim Carrey is a painter. Those are his paintings he is posting.
I'm not personally, but I'm a 6'4" white dude whose polling place is in an affluent white neighborhood.
I am concerned that somewhere out in America there may be some idiots who take matters into their own hands however.
Bingo. Capitalize on an opportunity. It's sociopathic, as if we didn't know that about her already.
Or "try to unite enough people that show a shred of human decency". Or "this is an opportunity for those of you that support these kinds of people to wake up and start making better decisions."
exactly my point, they're just fine with the rhetoric. You hear the same shit from limbaugh and conspiracy theories from hannity. They literally do not care.
Who the targets are is part of the investigation. You can't ignore it.
That's not going to happen and you know it.
Everyone in political office from Bernie to Mitch will say the exact same thing. You guys should know that by now. The BEST you'll get is a condemnation of Trumps rhetoric. But you will not get a statement condemning a large portion of the electorate.
Hillary tried that and she was fucking blasted for it.
They at least pretend to care, most of them anyway.
Either way, that does not make them a terrorist organization. Which is why I called the post hyperbolic.
They're all grifters. They all spout the same talking points, not an original thought among them.
They wake up every day, jack into the MAGA Matrix and they have their hot takes based on what's happening. All they need to do is tweak it a bit, trigger some libs and your job is done.
They'd be nobody's otherwise. This way they can feed their narcissistic ego from the (negative) attention.
It's what every YouTube commenter aspires to be when they grow up.
The ideology of the far right forbids compassion for outlier groups. In the event that something bad happens to a person outside of their group, a) you deserved it based on your life choices, b) you're making too big a deal out of it you baby, c) you're making it up for attention or SJW points. People who acknowledge victims are virtue signaling or bleeding hearts or encouraging a "culture of victimhood". Sympathy is for the weak; empathy is philosophical wankery.
The worldview depends on being able to shut off emotional response to the suffering of others, and at opportune times, to even revel in it as a group.
I mean, we literally already know how this happens. The talking points are spun up and handed out to places like Fox News and social media influencers and it goes from there. That's why the GOP have always won on messaging.
Jesus Christ
I want everyone to see this. This: racist policies, anti-lgbt legislation, voter suppression, gerrymandering, conspiracy theories, violent rhetoric, classist policies, taking away people's healthcare, anti-immigrant policies, not wanting sensible gun legislation, etc.
Is apparently just "extremist politics"
It doesn't matter that minorities are being shot indiscriminately in the streets, or children are in concentration camps, or LGBT people live in fear of having their rights taken away, or we're destroying the environment, or we're gutting the lower and middle classes. Nah, just "extremist politics".
Your GOP apologia is fucking gross dude.
By people giving her a platform
Because liberals are too busy fighting each other and writing purity tests.
I'm not ignoring it. But we still know nothing about the attacker or what their affiliation is. All we know is that democrats were targeted that tells us very little about the attacker and yet there are people in here claiming the GOP is a terrorist organization based on these bombs. You can't make absurd claims like that when all we know is that democrats have been targeted. That's not how it works.
Give me a fucking break. These spineless assholes talk a lot of talk about how "concerned" they are with Trump, but they otherwise do everything they can to protect him and further his political agenda. Trump faces no consequences for his actions because the rest of the GOP is too scared of his dipshit base to do or say anything meaningful in response to Trump.
I hope the GOP burns to the ground. There isn't a single redeeming quality about republican "leadership."
I wasn't supporting that guy's view of calling them a terrorist, just correcting the wording as you separated reagonomics and nationalism away from hate when trying to describe Trump.
GOP has always been a organization of hate, victimization, nationalism, and reaganomics.
I don't think GOP itself as an organization are terrorist, however, they are backed by terrorist and do despicable things legally and illegally to hold onto power. In ways, they are worse than terrorists because they actually accomplish their evil shit while still being seen as legitimate.
The #1 terrorism source in U.S has always been conservative extremism. People who are opening their eyes to that are understandably going to see the GOP in negative light because those extremist align themselves with Republicans.
In all honesty, you should stop trying to defend GOP here, its making you look bad because the organization has always been despicable and indefensible.
This has only strengthened my resolve to vote. But I do get the worry. When you have the NRA spokeswomen literally saying people should bring their guns to polling places to defend themselves against the left.
There's a lucrative market in selling out for non-white, non-straight people.
Cuz Kanye gave her a platform. A guy with a lot of influence
Because people shared her tweet in the thread. The more exposure they get, the more influential they are.
Yes...?
I mean, you can paint it in your own hyperbolic language (minorities are not being indiscriminately shot in the streets), but yes the policy positions of the republican party do not make them a terrorist group.
I wasn't talking about Charlottesville. Journalists were killed in Maryland.
And yet they quickly leverage him to get what they want. So, they are enablers out of convenience at the very least.
The same happened with the German conservatives in Hitler's day. They let Hitler do what he wanted because he helped them get what they wanted. And how did that turn out?
That is because it was Hillary saying it, everyone wants her to go away whether what she says is good or bad, right or wrong because they blame her for Trump's win. I agreed with her saying it for one.
I am not aware of this, how did this go under the radar?
That escalated quickly.
My point stands that the GOP should not be categorized as a terrorist organization, to hold this opinion in any serious way is extreme at best.
