Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Good. I hope that sends a message to the rest of the MAGA terrorists out there, but I doubt it.
Not to rain on the parade but this dude was fairly crazy. So long as extreme division is still being peddled over the… every single form of media, nothing will change.
"No you're not allowed to call fascists and terrorists what they are, that's divisive!"
That should happen. The problem is they hesitated on it for far too long.
The problem is the alternative reality of a cluster B personality disorder (alternative reality is a hallmark of that mental illness) has been hardcore peddled by the medias as normal, like his internal delusions and fixations are part of a normal this or that discussion, like whether you prefer to work night shift or day shift and why, instead of treating it as what it really is: not reality.
If not reality had been shut down instead of explored from day one, this would not be the problem it is today.
This, what we are living, is Trumps hard core mental illness given encouragement and validation, grown large. Cluster B personality disorders ARE mental illness.
You know who sows more division than anyone else?

Yeah, this wasn't your typical MAGA nut. He was quite extra. Plus, he attacked one of our top federal officers, aiming for 3rd in line to the Presidency.
Lots of reasons this guy is getting buried that didn't/won't apply to your typical MAGA terrorist.
Typical lemmy, downvoting OP because you sense he might not be saying something you like.
Hey OP! Call Trump some childish names so we all know where you stand!
You were making good points until your last two sentences.
