The El Paso Shooter Admits He Is A Progressive Leftist
America First ^ | 08/04/19

Posted on 08/04/2019 8:51:23 AM PDT by Enlightened1

It should come as no surprise that the FakeNews Industrial Complex has already pounced on the latest mass shooting for political purposes. Already there has been a flurry of cries from pundits and presidential candidates alike insisting that this shooting was somehow caused by President Trump and his rhetoric, and that this is allegedly further proof that our President is stoking racial division.

But once again, the media is ignoring an inconvenient little thing called the Truth.

First, the shooter expresses his disdain for both major parties; he decries the Democrats’ open-borders policies while also declaring that “the Republican Party is also terrible,” since the GOP, he says, is “pro-corporation,” and “pro-corporation = pro-immigration.”

The section of his manifesto entitled “Economic Reasons” is by far the most shocking part, in terms of directly contradicting the media spin that this shooter was somehow far-right. He explicitly expresses his support for “a basic universal income,” which he says is the only thing that can “prevent widespread poverty and civil unrest.” He then goes on to support “ambitious social projects like universal healthcare.” Later, he claims that the American lifestyle “is destroying the environment of our country,” and that “the decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations.”

So clearly this killer supports some of the most openly socialist policies in American political discourse today, including universal income, socialized medicine, and a belief in “global warming.” Yet, according to the media, he is somehow just another “far-right” shooter who has been motivated by President Trump.

In the most direct refutation of the inevitable media spin, he even admits that “I’m putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric.” In a macabre self-fulfilling prophecy, he then states “The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that.”

How soon will the photoshop pics pop up with him wearing a Trump 2020 shirt, MAGA hat, standing next to PDJT at some document signing. I put NOTHING out of reach for the H8rs.

Too little too late... if you are unhappy with the two parties, consider Trump. He has given the proverbial middle to both parties.

Though the validity of the ‘manifesto’ is being questioned is it not? Anyone seen a date stamp on when it was written? Was it plagerized from “PrairieFire”?

The shooter voluntarily gave his life for the Cause. Communists used to do that and as they fanaticize further they do it again. Such creeds, Islam and Communism produce such “martyrs” for the cause. At some point when the Left becomes more confident they will openly embrace these “martyrs.”

Government school “teachers” indoctrinated him to believe all this stuff.

Government school “teachers” are to blame.

Wrong

President Trump has more money for the Republican than any other Republican President.

The media and democrats preach hate twenty for hours a day....

When I grew up there was no twenty four hour news channels..

We stayed outside from sunup til sunset..

We went to school with all kids of kids and we all got along

Plus we had TV with a lot of laughs not like now

It was are parents that had problems with another group

And today kids are full of legal drugs for everything

Look like his father is some kind of therapist..kid was probably on drugs since first grade

Already the usual leftist outlets are spinning the manifesto to make it look like Trump is responsible.

In the Atlantic Graeme Wood correctly notes that the El Paso shooter's manifesto includes many ideas from the left, but still manages to try to tie President Trump to the event:

If you think that this cross-pollination of ideas means Sanders is just as culpable as Trump, then congratulations: You just cannonballed right into the inferno. It is one thing to favor one’s countrymen over one’s potential countrymen, as Sanders does (narrow-mindedly, in my view).
It is quite another to cultivate hatred and fear of foreigners, to encourage political violence, and to amplify wing-nut conspiracies that, if true, would implicate millions of people in treason. To my knowledge, only one politician on the national stage has done all of these things.

Of course Graeme never mentions the shooter's explicit denial of being influenced by President Trump.

"My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump's rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that."

It would be far more useful for our society if media pundits focused on the causes of young people deciding to embark on violent, and likely suicidal actions based on a toxic mix of ideas they have been taught in school and through mainstream leftist thinking with the writings of other deranged violent activists, instead of trying to blame their political opponents like the NRA, the Republican Party, and President Trump.

“””It should come as no surprise that the FakeNews Industrial Complex has already pounced on the latest mass shooting for political purposes”””


Yes, there is an instant barrage of screaming from the left for ‘gun control’ and absolute silence on the mental health of the shooter.

I’m not on Twitter anymore, but I will bet this guy had a second anonymous account there that could be searched out.

That already happened for the Antifa guy who decided to attack the ICE facility.

And no doubt mylife will protect your info for a fee right? But, it appears that most of it is available for editing by anyone. So, sort of like depending on snopes for factual info.

Typical Leftists. They believe you are never responsible for your own actions. Everyone is so easily influenced. We can't think for ourselves, therefore we need Leftists to tell us what to think!

21st century liberalism is a mental disease...
