Oh, you're right!

It was the FDA that said "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously y'all, stop it."

And then, as we see in the article at the top of this page, the Biden administration was forcing social media companies to silence everyday Americans that dared disagree with it.

Well, since "the LGBTQ stuff" is political, and his weapon, ammunition, and recorded communications are covered in far-left political messaging, is it actually muddled?

No. His politics are clearly displayed, and I think you are on some level aware of this. And while at the outset it wasn't entirely clear, it very quickly became so. Once the weapon was found, there was no question.

What you are doing, and Kimmel and others did, was grasp at some very unlikely straws in an attempt to create distance that did not exist. Was it possible someone was trying to create a martyr? Yes. Was it at all likely, let alone likely enough to be given serious consideration in the media? No. Not at all. Did the Right feel or have any need to scramble about how the shooter was characterized? No, because nobody outside the far-left was foolish enough to give that any credence.

Oh, and the kid who shot Trump did have political motivations. He shot a presidential candidate!!

Also, if Kirk's shooter's parents were Republicans, and their son now disagrees with them, do you honestly think it is because he went further to the Right? While dating a trans-furry and calling people fascists? You must be smarter than that.

No, I was just hoping you'd take the hint instead of me having to put any more effort into it. That is, I assumed you already knew that there was extensive documentation on how Biden pressured social media companies to silence everyday American citizens. So, are you actually somehow unaware of these things, or are you arguing in bad faith? I'll get the data to you if it's the first, but I don't believe that to be the case. You aren't stupid, blind, or deaf.

No, they're right. You do mean tyranny. Fascism is a political system (so you're there with #4), and the usage of the term beyond that is itself the result of Marxists engaging in what you list as #1. It is not a blameworthy error though; Marxism and Fascism are kissing cousins in the tyrannical totalitarianism family, so the waters are understandably muddied. I just think it is worthwhile to try and reverse the linguistic abuses of Marxism.

Well, "MAGA people" were not doing any such thing. What they were doing was mocking the occasional far-left dolt who tried to make the claim that the shooter was from the Right. Nobody had to go out of their way to show what almost everyone already knew.

And yeah, we do know for sure that the shooter was a far-left nutjob.

In what world were "MAGA people scrambling to prove that the killer wasn't one of them"? I didn't see anything of the sort. What I did see was the occasional far-left commentator try to make the claim that the shooter was from the far-right. Nobody scrambled to prove otherwise, they just mocked the idiots who made such obviously stupid claims. There were people on the left who were desperate to shift the blame, and the overwhelming majority of the population saw through it. I don't know why you didn't.

Please keep in mind that what we were told at the time was grossly incomplete and often deceptive as Pete pointed out. What we were told was only somewhat true itself, and the ones who told us left out all of the true things you are responding to.

The CDC told Joe Rogan flat out that he shouldn't take ivermectin because he wasn't a horse. Not because it wouldn't help, but because he wasn't a horse. Ivermectin is used in humans. Why did the CDC intentionally mislead the public?

"Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies," the letter read. "While the Company continued to develop and enforce its policies independently, Biden Administration officials continued to press the Company to remove non-violative user-generated content,"
