A TX man w/AR-15 killed 5 people "execution style." Two female victims were killed lying on top of 2 surviving kids & 3 surviving kids were covered in blood. All b/c they asked him to stop shooting while their baby slept.
This GOP "well regulated militia," has this month alone killed people for:
•Sitting in the wrong car
•Knocking on wrong door
•Turning into wrong driveway
•Attending the wrong birthday party
•Basketball rolls into the wrong lawn
•Asking the wrong neighbor to let your baby sleep
@QasimRashid Apart from the guns something is not right
What I mean is, apparently more and more people are on the edge of murderous rage
The situations described are regular everyday occurrences, yet they’re enraged beyond reason
Then they have guns at their fingertips
Don’t know what they’d do if they didnt have the guns but them not having them would be a very welcome start
@hfentonmudd @QasimRashid It's oligarchy. We've had guns like these for ages, but what we didn't have is the despair, fear, hate and rage, that the vast amounts of inequality we have as of late has created.
It's all been downhill since the 80's and Reaganomics. You can basically draw a straight line between the decline in civility (and rise in anger and hate crimes) and the rise of inequality and oligarchy.

This is a big part of it, IMO…throw in a pandemic and we have (waves around)…this 💆🏻♂️
@hfentonmudd @QasimRashid You're definitely right. Pandemic made things much worse, and now we're seeing the effects of climate change too.
It's one of the reasons I try to be more politically active nowadays. Not to late to change things, but it'll take some effort.
@CIWS30 @hfentonmudd @QasimRashid
If think about it, the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 lines up nicely as well. The rise of partisan radio and TV and the rise in anger and hate are a perfect parallel.
