If there were any security/civil rights/general spying on people bills that were floating around but were too unpalatable to push through, those are most likely going through now.

Also if the shooter turns out to be anything other than a straight white cis male, then whatever group they were part of is probably gonna have a bad time for the foreseeable future.

Let's be honest, even if its a good ole boy, the nutters will find a way to blame it on minorities and/or the "left".

They're probably fabricating the manifesto right now. ~~Dollars to donuts is they're going to bullshit the would-be shooter as gay or trans.~~ This is gonna be a Reichstag Fire moment; all because some little twerp civilian couldn't hit a qualifier shot.

Apparently the shooter's a registered Republican! This just got infinitely funnier.

Well, the nutters are just in time for gymnastics. Olympics are in a few days. If America's bullshit didn't spray out to the rest of the world like a hippopotamus with diahrrea, I'd grab popcorn.

I'm not sure how this spins tbh; dude's Repub registration was recently dug up. The only bit I've seen otherwise is a 15 buck donation to I want to say ActBlue or somebody on the so-called-progressive side of things; so I'd love to see how this twists and permutates.
