He wasn’t. Groypers were open about this. But they would call him a fascist.

Things are pretty early but — Tyler Robinson, the guy arrested for the Charlie Kirk murder, doesn’t scream “extremely online nihilist” either. Going as a meme for Halloween is not weird. Irony culture isn’t always nihilistic.

The need to have an immediate answer is a side effect of social media.
Hear me out.

It’s both. Why do we need to do this
Republicans: Let’s just abort adults.

Also abortion bad guys.

Whoever he shot deserves it. Look at him
We must talk to our political enemies.
Putting American infrastructure in Ukraine to invest US in Ukraine more isn’t 10D chess. It’s checkers.
But if this is your master plan, why are you announcing it before it goes through? Won’t Putin now just throw a tantrum like when Ukraine wanted to join NATO
When asked why relationships didn’t end where desired, most cited not communicating enough what they wanted at the beginning of the relationship.

Unsurprisingly, if you want to be FWB, then look for that and communicate it.
If you want more, communicate that and look for similar valued partners.
In a longitudinal study (1 year) of FWB situations, it was found that 30% of those one year later were in the relationship they had desired a year previous.
Only 15% of relationships ended in a serious romantic relationship.
40% of FWBs that wanted to only remain as FWB had 1 year later.
In another study of n=190 + 186, it was found that while FWB and monogamous relationships had sexual satisfaction, those in a monogamous relationship were more sexually satisfied due to better sexual communication.
A study of n=411 found that women broadly saw FWB relationships as transitional to longer term relationships whereas men saw FWB as the end of the relationship itself.
The FBI, Pentagon, State Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy have told their staff to ignore Musks emails.
Musk threatens staff jobs if they don’t respond. Staff placed in a loyalty battle.
There has to be more we can do but complain about how awful the current government is on social media, no?
Think we can get people behind this?
Yeah I understand. It’s this tough line of loving someone and seeing them fall prey to such extremist think that makes it feel like you’re losing the person you love to an ideaology
If you haven’t already, I strongly recommend watching @thesillyserious.bsky.social video on Dark MAGA. With Elon sticking his fingers in every pie, knowing what she has to say has never been more valuable.

@mcuban.bsky.social a worthwhile video to review and share.

The only thing changing my Dads mind (and he’s a Canadian) is me outlining Trump is fulfilling antichrist prophecies…
One thing I’ve been thinking about. When a lot of Americans who voted for Trump realize the harm his trade war will be for their no. 1 issue, being cost of living, how do those who advocated against that vote best respond?

I feel like this could be a key moment of healing or harm.
Viewing further hostility and hatred between the two political factions is exactly the type of resistance authoritarian regimes want you to believe works.
Further separating the political world is bad for democracy fundamentally
Welcome to the resistance
We tried bludgeoning the right with our perception of their moral failings once before. Why would we think it will work this time?
Trump is more popular than he has ever been. The media is softer on him than it’s ever been.

The chief task of the Dems, and of any self-styled #resistance, should be to puncture that bubble of popularity that he currently has in this honeymoon. To drag him - down.

Forget the bipartisanship BS.
Kinda ironic based on the movie they did together
