In the MAGAt cult of toxic masculinity, gun-worshipping moms live vicariously through their sons

There's much to be learned still about the role that James and Jennifer Crumbley played in the mass murder their son, 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, is accused of committing in Oxford, Michigan last Tuesday. But, at a bare minimum, we know that the couple indulged their son's unhealthy fascination with guns and violence, even buying the boy the weapon he allegedly used to kill four teenage kids. In the name of MAGA politics, Jennifer Crumbley has left a long digital trail of evidence demonstrating how she celebrated her son's gun worship. In 2016, she posted a long letter defending her decision to vote for Donald Trump on the grounds that she could not let Hillary Clinton "have control over my son's future." She thanked Trump "for allowing my right to bear arms," and bragged about how she's not scared of Trump's "big personality and quick temper." Finally, she signed the letter as someone who is "sick of getting f*cked in the ass and would rather be grabbed by the pussy."

They had the requisite big truck with flags & gun rack & MAGA gear. It was a father-son-mother trio. What got me was when she said, "This is my General & my Sargent." So she was the Private in the trio. Wow.

Lanza used a Bushmaster Model XM15-E2S rifle, a type of AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, in the Sandy Hook shooting.
An Izhmash Saiga-12, 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun was found in his car.
There were also three weapons found next to his body, including a semiautomatic .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle and two handguns.
