“We need the conservatives to keep the conservatives in check!”

This country needs political literacy and situational understanding, there aren’t two parties.

Right, and they just assassinated one of their own. 🙄

No, that wasn’t a politician, that was a terrorist propagandized to extremism, and that is a very useful tool for them.

Absolutely fucking not! The Republican Party does not get to distance themselves from the assassin; they absolutely own the behavior they incited!

I don't give a fuck if the guy held office or not; he was 100% representative of the Party.
