Pretty obvious that it was trump fan lashing out in the childish, conspiratorial anger so characteristic of their movement.

It's hard to get Americans to care about a white, right wing, wealthy male mass murderer.

You can't play on their racism and say we're banning travel from white countries until we figure out just what's going on over there.

You can't get them into a paranoid rage about a caravan of white wealthy migrants, because such people arrive on private jets instead of on foot. Harder to film for right wing propaganda.

So of course it seemed to be dropped and not mentioned in the media again. Trumpists hate introspection, they hate hearing about bad things one of their number did (musky just tried to claim the qanon shaman isn't a real trump supporter like musky, because the shaman embarrassed trumpists, and so he can't be a real trump fan).

Just try and make a news piece showing, why the white wealthy male pro-trump slice of the population are inspired to kill by dangerous right wing rhetoric and fake conspiracy theories. Americans will change the channel, and you'll learn to never broadcast such a thing again, then idiots like chipit will cite you as proof that the media are covering something up

Paddock appeared fixated on three pillars of right-wing extremism: anti-government conspiracy theories, threats to Second Amendment rights, and overly burdensome taxes. For instance, one witness told Las Vegas police that Paddock was “kind of fanatical” about his anti-government conspiracies and that he believed someone had to “wake up the American public” and get them to arm themselves in response to looming threats.

Saying that's true. Why didn't Karine Jean-Pierre mention it instead of the civil war? Do you even understand the point of this submission? Did you not click the link?

Karine Jean-Pierre Reacts to January 6 Footage Released by Tucker Carlson: “Worst Attack on Our Democracy Since the Civil War”

You gave us two things to talk about, two topics. One topic is about the gateway article concerning Karine Jean Pierre.

However, it seems to me that you also offered a second topic for discussion. It seems that after some deliberation, you additionally submitted for discussion

2017 Las Vegas shooting, 61 Deaths

As to why Ms Jean-Pierre didn't read your mind when talking about Jan 6th - I am not sure how she would know your additional, second topic for discussion. Why didn't she mention it - how the fuck would she?

It would lead to less confusion if you stuck to a single topic per submission, but here you tried to tackle two topics and even confused yourself by wondering why a white house spox wouldn't know the inside of your brain

I gave you one thing to think about. You failed. Miserably.

No, I did just fine, thanks. It's you who confused yourself.

Why didn't Karine Jean-Pierre mention it instead of the civil war?

In what sense was the Vegas shooting an attack on democracy? She's quoted saying that Jan 6th was the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war. You're asking, why didn't she say "Jan 6th was the biggest attack on our democracy since the 2017 las Vegas shooting, 61 deaths"

I guess I can only spin the question back at you: why would she say that? Has she ever given you any indication that she considered the Vegas shooting to be an attack on democracy?

This is what I mean by, you confused yourself here. That's why it might be better for you, in future, to try and stick to one topic at a time, because you're really struggling to make sense here
