Is Pepe now the Frog of War?

Law enforcement officials quickly launched an investigation into the Saturday night shooting of Donald Trump as an assassination attempt, offering few details. That did not stop a torrent of unsubstantiated theories from flooding social media and other channels shortly after the event.
Some accounts from the left of the political spectrum immediately claimed that the shooting was a “false flag” operation perpetrated by Trump’s own supporters. Some on the far right accused President Biden of ordering a hit on a political rival......
But far-right channels on encrypted platforms were abuzz with a mixture of shock, rage and conspiracy theories. Triumphant slogans (“You missed!”) and calls for civil war captioned the instantly totemic image of a bloodied but defiant Trump raising a fist with the flag in the background. Without any clear word from authorities on suspects or motives, MAGA extremists instantly embraced the idea of a politically motivated assassination attempt. Disinformation swirled as trolls looked for easy clicks by sharing uncorroborated footage and information about people they claimed to be the assailant.
Some blamed militant antifascists — antifa — while others concocted elaborate explanations involving the Deep State and demons. Several white supremacist accounts held an online discussion on X about how Jews had attempted to assassinate Trump.

Not from conservative citizens. OTOH, the left has been engaging in a civil war against conservatives for year. The government has been weaponize to use against them. But the MSM will never report this because they helped facilitate the left's civil war.
*years
They didn’t reflect on their eight years of hateful rhetoric - the impeachments, fake Russia collusion, Maxine Waters, Robert Deniro derangement syndromes etc. Their own culpability in misinformation and providing cover for - instead of dispassionately investigating the claims - is as clear as day.
Oh, yes. That is what they want, because they don’t know what war is like, especially civil war.
They think it is all Hollywood.
The Commies at the Washington ComPost gotta lie......
“MAGA extremists instantly embraced the idea of a politically motivated assassination attempt.”
We’ve endured SEVEN long, dreadful years of leftist attempts to destroy Trump starting when he came down the escalator at Trump Tower. Everything from the “pee” allegation to Russian disinformation, the lying 51 intel people (including the noxious Clapper and Brennan), the Mueller investigation, feds lying on FISA applications, feds forging emails to frame Trump, multiple impeachments, an FBI raid on Trump’s home, and multiple ginned-up political lawfare hit jobs. The past few months the left has escalated its rhetoric to “he must be stopped at all costs” and even Brandon using “put Trump in the crosshairs.” Many leftists and Trump opponents are using this language. For months, conservatives have expressed concern that, because all of the above failed to destroy Trump, the radicals would assassinate him.
I wonder why conservatives would embrace the silly idea of this being a politically-motivated assassination?
Oh, that’s an easy one: when the checks stop, then they’ll know.
That is identical to their concern about an Islamophobia-driven backlash every time an Islamist murders people or an Islamist terrorist blows people up. That backlash has never happened, but they always use that same playbook.
Brennan and Clapper are two of the most vile, most noisome people in the USA.
WOW! Far right encrypted sites. What kind of ‘shrooms did these intrepid reporters consume? The title sure fits what they just published. Fidiots!
Misinformation spreads swiftly in hours after Trump rally shooting
Coming from the kings of misinformation: the compost and PMSNBC.
“MAGA extremists instantly embraced the idea of a politically motivated assassination attempt.”
Yes, there was misinformation. There always is in breaking news. My favorites were ‘Trump falls during rally’ and ‘Secret Service interrupts Trump’s speech’.
“ militant antifascists”. In reality, the 21st century brown shirt fascists.
Is Pepe now the Frog of War?
Like them calling gunshots “loud noises.”
You can’t believe anything from any source at all.
And this is why Trump’s appeal to populism decides everything.
All elites will be removed. All of them. Both parties. Government and media. All of them.
So of course they tried assassination. How could they not?
Now you see why Independents have become dominant and nihilism is ascendant.
“and calls for civil war”
They literally can’t stop themselves.
More lies to amp up the bent antennas.
Written like an attorney defending their mass murderer client, found with the bloody weapon in their hand, claiming it’s a society problem.
Re: "Several white supremacist accounts held an online discussion on X about how Jews had attempted to assassinate Trump."
This is exactly the kind of MSM conspiracy language that motivates people like Thomas Matthew Crooks.
I have been a politically active Conservative for more than 60 years.
I have no idea how to find or join an encrypted Right Wing website.
I have never met a Conservative who is a white supremacist or antisemitic.
Wapost talking about disinformation. They embody disinformation, the Orwellian heritor of the BBC.
I saw most of them but I saw NONE that blamed it on the Jews....
