I love how one of the flagged responses was saying how Kirk's killer was on the Left - providing a perfect example of the propaganda lies you mentioned

It's not unreasonable conclusion if you believe some of the stuff WSJ is putting out claiming the ammo/rifle had common leftist interest topics on it like anti-fascist and transgender interests, but those articles could certainly be a hoax or that evidence put there to throw off police.

none of this information was available when these comments were made. Essentially the entirety of the right-wing media apparatus had already made up their minds before any evidence was available

Exactly, they're casting an identity and motivation on an as of right now, unknown suspect

The intensity of right vs left political violence does not appear to match your conclusion.

Those are relatively niche beliefs even on the left. There's a difference between what is said by politicians and what the general public think.

Loud minority for sure. Republicans are right about biological sex being real (it's based off of gamete size, not chromosomes exactly), but that's more of a broken clock being right twice a day.

Gender ideology had its run and is past the high water mark. When it's gone, Republicans won't even have that hobby horse.

Well then you don't have to listen to them or consider how you might be wrong then, do you? How convenient.

Literally every person who's a "Republican" is speaking purely to manipulate people, dishonestly, towards evil ends.

Oh, and of course anyone who calls out you've installed yourself in a little ivory tower - where you can mutter your very-superior-and-above-them-Republicans "liberal discourse" - must of course be a Republican.

Frankly I don't think this is even driven by narcissism, but just a profound laziness. You budging and inch from any single thing you already believe - that inconvenience - would be a personal affront, a disturbance in your entitlement to feel maximally comfortable at all times.

Booooo, go home you're drunk.

"Republicans don't engage in discourse"

"Yeah, and yet y'all still won't listen to our propaganda because _you're_ entitled."

What debate is there to be had with people who shouted loudly they wanted the Epstein files and now say they are not interested in the Epstein files? Who pretend to care for children but say gun drills and school shooting are acceptable? Who pretend they have values and vote again and again for a philanderer and rapist?
