I Got This Right, Right?

Imperial Japan is the only country in modern history to become a Fascist Theocracy. Under Project 2025, the USA is following a similar path. I always pointed to Germany, Italy and Spain, but they did not beat the Japanese in the fucked up realm of fascism.
Could you elaborate?

They now claim he was “left leaning”. It’s a war of propaganda.
I heard that on a podcast on the way home, laughed, then realized that a lot of people would believe that. Then it wasn’t funny anymore.
At this point I don’t really entirely believe anything that I’ve heard and I think that’s exactly what they want.

ALL true, but the GOP has given up the “fiscal responsibility” angle. I knew Republicans who were fucking enraged by Bush’s spending and wars. They GOP no longer pretends to be saving our treasury. Sure, they say their policies will eventually enrich us, but they’ve utterly given up saying they’re trying to save money. Maybe I’m splitting hairs, but I clearly remember their scream of “fiscal responsibility!”, and now they are silent.
They haven’t given up the claim when a Democrat is president. When a Dem is in the White House, all we hear about is how it is imperative to cut the deficit at any cost, including government shutdowns.
Then a MAGA takes over and we don’t hear a peep as they expand some major surveillance agency like Homeland Security or ICE or the Space Force.

Pardon my ignorance but is this actually banned on some dumbass platform?

Is this actually true? There’s too much disinformation about the shooter, his motivations, his identity, his family, his partner going around that I have no clue what to really believe about him.
(Please, nobody respond to this comment telling me “that’s exactly what they want” without providing a credible source for your claims about the shooter. If you do provide sources, then you are welcome to make fun of me for being skeptical.)
The politicians just want to continue spreading fear no matter the side imo. I hate how they want to argue instead of trying to unify us (which is what they seem scared to do cuz a unified nation will turn against them)

“Right wing” still isn’t specific enough, as that also includes democrats.

The oligarchs want that, and the oligarchs have many politicians in their pocket I presume. However, it’s not like non-corrupt non-bought politicians have any reason to be afraid of a unified nation – they’re in politics to effect change in the first place.

It was only for one semester. And you’d be surprised how many white supremacists have had relationships with non-whites.
Yeah, but most don’t live with one.
He also seemed to want others to be helped and didn’t register as a Republican voter, or actually vote (though he was registered to do so).

Likely based on his texts with his transwoman roommate.

They were always going to blame it on the left. Facts don’t matter to rightists, only keeping control of their followers. All of Lemmy called it the moment the assassination happened.
His mom literally said that her son shifted left and got into arguments with his father about politics. How does it feel to be on the side of lies and disinformation?

His Mom said he had become more political lately. Specifically left-leaning, pro-gay and pro-trans. He left a note for his trans roommate that he was going to assassinate Kirk. He said that he “Had enough of Kirks hatred” in his discord chat and inscribed pro-trans, gay and antifascist rhetoric on the bullets.
How is any of this right wing?

Can we get a link from The associate press or Reuters and not a British tabloid.

Robinson’s mother told police that her son had “began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders,” the court document said.
And she said that over the past year or so, Robinson had become more political and had “started to lean more to the left – becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented,” according to the documents.

Being pro-gay and protrans doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re not right-wing. It just means you don’t share the commonly held out groups. Unusual, yes, but a tell, not really.
If he was dropping some Marxist stuff, was interested in taxing the rich, or universal healthcare, then I would say he’s not right wing.

So how do you know he’s right wing?
Edit: Also how do address the hate comment? And justify him killing Kirk for not being far-right enough?
-
Well, that aged like fine milk.
It’s becoming clear people view reality as a “choose your own adventure” game.
-
It’s starting to look like it was.

Why wait for facts when you can speculate?

Is the BBC good enough?
