What.

So ignoring the fact that political mudslinging is just dividing the country further and further, you are aware of why people think this is a false flag attack, right? I don't necessarily agree with the notion, but claiming that people are just doing it because "hur hur ALL conservatives want democratic politicians dead" isn't fair.

Actually, that might explain why you don't understand the SHS thing either. SHS was told she couldn't eat somewhere because she was an employee of Trump. Normally, I wouldn't care, because businesses have a right to refuse service, but whoops! Remember when everyone got up in arms because a Christian baker refused service to a homosexual couple? Remember how almost EVERYONE claimed that he COULDN'T do that? That's a bit of hypocrisy, eh?

Either way, the two incidents aren't even fucking related, so good work mate. The conclusion here is that everyone sucks and no one can understand that some asshole isn't the entire fuckin' movement. Again, good work mate.

The thing about saying mudslinging is dividing the country is, you need to divorce that statement from any mudslinging when you say it. Otherwise the statement you make is "When the other guys mudslinging, that's divisive."

So, applying this to the matter at hand, the bombings. The people claiming false flag conspiracy, and the people passively endorsing those, need to stop. Similarly, those who say that one Trump supporter's terrible actions represent the will of Trump and all of his supporters need to stop. Let the investigation happen, put the guilty party or parties in jail, and all agree that this level of hate isn't good for democracy.

A part of the takeaway should be that when you use inflammatory rhetoric, someone deranged may get the idea that terrorism against your opponents is justified. So don't do that. This isn't the first time this has happened like this, and finger-pointing isn't going to be productive.
