This happened last night. It appears to be a coordinated political assassination. Be safe out there, things are heating up.

Agreed with you 100% I’m currently at my job I work in the mining industry and my town is only about 4000 people and 99.9% of them are trump supporters and the news of these murders have sent these people into a joyous state. They have been happily talking about it like it’s a good thing and are hoping more happen. I’ve been beyond mad and upset since Jan 6 and now I feel like my soul left my body for a few mins.

    That's just... insane. It seems like having a strong sense of empathy is such a weakness these days. I wouldn't have celebrated the murder of Republican congresspeople, nor would I have thought that your townspeople would celebrate this. Well meaning people just aren't equipped to handle what's happening, but I imagine our lizard brains will catch us up quickly, hence the adrenaline.

    Be careful.

    The best thing I do is just ignore them and do my job. It doesn’t fix the problem though.

    I'm a Norwegian living in rural Denmark. There are people at my work with 3D printed Trump mugs and statues on their desk, and one of them wears a MAGAt cap. In Denmark It's fucking infuriating for me, I can't imagine how it is for got! I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. Stay safe, friend!
