How long before right wing media is claiming the shooter was trans?
we just respond appropriately:
Black Mexican illegal immigrant liberal trans.
Early reports are that he was a registered Republican. But early reports are often wrong.
CNN is speaking to Evan Perez, Senior US Justice Department Correspondant, confirming the information first reported by the New York Post.

Okay admittedly we all know it's not a false flag. But could we all just collectively pretend and shout it from the rooftops like Republicans do? That would be so cathartic.
No, what the fuck is wrong with people? This isn't a healthy or productive response to the events that are unfolding.
Years and years of being gaslit will do things to you.
