The Answer to Every Mass-Shooting Whodunit: Republicans!

 The latest manifestation of this supernatural power occurred in Colorado Springs, where an admitted heroin addict, arrested last year for threatening to bomb his own mother, murdered five strangers in a gay bar over the weekend.

  • According to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the blame for the Colorado Springs shooting falls not on Colorado Springs but on Washington, D.C..
  • "After Trump elevated anti-immigrant & anti-Latino rhetoric, we had the deadliest anti-Latinino shooting in modern history," AOC tweeted. "After anti-Asian hate w/COVID, Atlanta. Tree of life. Emanuel AME. Buffalo. Connect the dots, @GOP."

While his extremism uneasily fits in with either party, it seems far closer to AOC's positions than to those of Kevin McCarthy or Ron DeSantis

  • A reflexive blaming of ideological enemies for acts of great evil diagnoses an affliction far more sinister than politics on the brain
  • This tic reorients sympathy for the victims toward the political obsessions of politicians and journalists
  • It makes the murder of strangers about them

  • The entire motive for progressives, after Jared Lee Loughner, after James Holmes, after Lee Harvey Oswald even, falsely blaming conservatives for murder stems from a desire to demonize people who do not think as they do.
  • Jared Polis, the openly gay governor of Colorado, explained that he does not know the specifics of why, what the motive was in Colorado Springs.
