"Proof of violent left" may sway some voters. Ofc they won't care that the shooter was a Republican and they won't know about Project 2025.

Was any information released on the shooter?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, there was.

Crooks’ political leanings were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.

He was also wearing a "Demolition Ranch" t-shirt ... which take from that what you will.

Yes. A huge amount.

It's not that they don't know about Project 2025, they just don't care about it. I've seen so-called "centrists" straight-up claiming that Project 2025 isn't real just because Trump disavowed it... ignoring the fact that he had to since it was actually hurting his poll numbers. (The people who wrote P2025 are core members of Trump's campaign staff. How naive do you have to be to see that and still think a politician wouldn't lie?)

I've had people say Project 2025 "Is just an exaggeration", because the "Legislative and Judicial branches won't allow it"

Ignoring that the Supreme Court literally does whatever Trump wants..

Fucking hell, seriously... pardon the invocation of Godwin's Law, but people used the same "Legislative and Judicial branches won't allow it" excuse to claim that Hitler winning the elections in Germany wouldn't be that bad and we all know how it ended up.

The amount of people burying their heads in the sand regarding Project 2025 is infuriatingly high and I hate it.

People accusing me of fear mongering when I point to a blatantly obvious problem... what else is new sigh

Oh, no no, I wasn't accusing you of fearmongering, I was actually agreeing with you! Sorry for coming off the wrong way, I didn't mean my post to come off as accusatory. :/

Oh no, I'm just letting you know what happens when I tell people about 25
