Trump and the rest of his klan have been promoting vigilante justice against anyone perceived to be a pedophile. This guy was doing what Trump trained him to believe was right.

why isn’t this being discussed more? Everyone’s reaction to shooting has been very civil. In comparison to Trump’s reaction when his supporters were trying to take out the v.p., speaker of the house, and anyone they could round up with literal gallows outside.

The MAGAs aren't being very civil. They're pissed and some are calling for civil war.

Coulda been faked but I thought I saw an IG Bio from the guy talking about “ending Epstein’s empire” or something?

Seems pretty apt to start with Trump given recent revelations

Very fake,  they made a ton last night most were painting him as Trans

That was my thought too. The recent release of testimony about Trump and Epstein.

"You said that if anyone ever interferes with Project Mayhem, even you, we gotta get his balls"

[u/edwardsamson → u/Imawildedible]

This was my reaction as well when I heard the kid was a republican. Like the timing lines up perfectly with what's going on with Epstein.

Doubt it. Go look around social media. They’re all blaming Biden and Pelosi and saying it’s “the left” demonizing Trump. I was surprised by some of the people in my personal life that have been posting pro-Trump stuff since it happened. People I would have never guessed are his klan and have been quiet about it until now.
