Melissa Hortman was a Democrat.

Murdered for being a Democrat.

Every headline should say so.

This was political terrorism.

@Strandjunker

This is a violent response by GOP irregulars to Democratic resistance to Drumph's ICE agenda.

@Strandjunker this is fascism. The USA is a full fascist country. When random people are doing the dirty work for the great leader, knowing he will undoubtedly pardon them when they get caught...
@Strandjunker I fear there will be more.

It might look like political assassinations. That would take the US down an even darker path, as during the #WeimarRepublic.

But is it truly as it seems?

The names included abortion👉 providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, and lawmakers in...

@Strandjunker It's really frustrating to see the MAGA cultists trying to blame the whole thing on Democrats. MAGAs never met an anti-Democratic conspiracy theory they didn't fall in love with. 🙄

@tafnn @Strandjunker
Deny, attack, reverse victim order: DARVO

They deny doing the attack by blaming Democrats which requires them to reverse who is a victim in this case. (I'm assuming they said it's to make Republicans look bad?)
It's classic abuser behavior.

@Strandjunker as non american it might not be my place to react though its an assault on democracy itself. Feel angry and scared for the people of the once great United States. Hopefully the government will understand they work FOR the people and are entitled to listen to ALL AMERICANS despite race, religion, democrat or republican. I do wish to apologise again if i offended people with this opinion.
@Dl79 @Strandjunker If Americans weren't stupid and gullible, this would have been avoided.
The concept of "protest voting" was planted by a Russian operative. Tearing down and tearing apart #Dems is a Russian psyop. Everyone still on any Meta platform is vulnerable to brainwashing.
Those who refuse to delete Meta and tik tok are brainwashed.
It will continue to get worse if Americans keep taking the bait and not being strategic at all.
They're in their feelings.
Ineffective.

@Dl79 @Strandjunker Sincerest condolences to the families and friends of the #assassinated #MN lawmaker and her husband.
Speedy healing to the survivors.

I am sad for #Minnesota and my country today.

@Strandjunker It was an assassination. Theyll trot out the usual lone nut motive and the suspect will wind up dead like every other patsy throughout history.
This was a message to organized opposition : You're not safe.
@mike @Strandjunker Make sure to point out that, even if all that is true (and it's likely not), it was still assassination and politically motivated at that.
@Strandjunker The MN legislature is about evenly divided Rep v Democrat. Except now. One Minnesota House Dem and one Minnesota Senate Dem targeted for assassination. One murdered.
@Strandjunker We actually have very little way in the way of evidence regarding the shooters motive. But sure, continue spreading BS, excellent strategy in these turbulent times.
@IntheMesh_ @Strandjunker He had a list of Dems, 70 of them that he wanted to murder. So yeah, we kinda have the idea that it’s politically motivated, but do chime in and say nobody knows. This is why I block people who show up and puke.
@Strandjunker The assassin is from Pretoria? Is this true? Anything related to the recent Trump/Musk asylum seekers?

@Strandjunker

Melissa Hortmam was murdered by a white supremacist anti-abortion wingnut

The anti-abortion movement has billionaires backing it, for partisan & personal gain

Ken Eldred, Dick Uihlein, Barre Seid, Tim Dunn, Elon Musk, Farris Wilks, Bradley, Charles Koch, Jeff Yass, Robert Mercer

These men aren't "pro-life", they're racist billionaires trying to stay rich by manipulating the psychologically troubled

Right-Wing Billionaires Are Funneling Money to Stop Ohio’s Abortion Ballot

Conservative donors far from Ohio are pulling all the stops to try to doom the abortion ballot.

Inside Ziklag, the Secret Organization of Wealthy Christians Trying to Sway the Election and Change the Country

The little-known charity is backed by famous conservative donors, including the families behind Hobby Lobby and Uline. It’s spending millions to make a big political push for this election — but it may be violating the law.

@Npars01 @Strandjunker it won’t surprise you to know that many investment and insurance company execs have given big money to oppose bodily autonomy.🫤
@Strandjunker murdered or assassinated? Think assassinated drives the poin5 home much more
@Strandjunker when white supremacy meets Christian evangelical then horrors are going to happen. The only good fascists are dead fascists.
