(35,332 posts)If the quotes I've seen from his "manifesto" are accurate, at least.

(51,615 posts)"In his manifesto, John Earnest wrote a lightning round with questions and answers. The first question he answered was whether he is a Trump supporter. He wrote, You mean that Zionist, Jew-loving, anti-White, traitorous c*cksucker? Dont make me laugh.
"The Pittsburgh shooting suspect had posted on Gab about why he didnt support Trump, saying that he was not anti-Semitic enough for him."
"About his political ideology, Earnest wrote, Its called not wanting to go extinct. He said, about being a conservative, I am not a useless, spineless coward so noI am not a conservative. Conservative is a misnomer. They conserve nothing. Theyll complain all they want but they wont take up arms and threaten their government with death (the only thing that works). Ever heard about the Battle of Athens (1946)? Find your balls again you insufferable f*ggots. If you do not defend your rights you deserve none.

(7,626 posts)Trump has implicitly given them permission to act on their basest instincts. Before Trump, those instincts weren't socially acceptable and they felt pressure to suppress them.

(769 posts)It's called "chain terrorism" and I just read about it at Daily Kos.
They use each shooting spree, mass murder as a stepping block to future fame - or infamy.
And they get most of their inspiration from each other thanks to the Internet.
It's hate in the fast lane.

They will not face consequence.
They look at him and see a poster child for hate.
MadDAsHell
(2,067 posts)Because they have personally killed many people. How is that not accountability or consequences?
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)are white men they will be given the same immunity. Because they are on board with the far-right agenda, they will be protected.
They are stupid, hateful, tools of the right-wing elite.

(2,067 posts)No mass shooter thinks they're going to get immunity.
Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)And as long as trmp continues to defend his comments of "very fine people" on both sides (of the Charlottesville incident), they think they will be given the same pass that trmp implicitly gives them every time he doubles down on that remark, which he did again two days ago.
