It was their children, engaging in terrorism they support (this is the natural consequence of the rhetoric they spew against LGBTQ+ people), against someone they consider subhuman.
If they haven’t expressed their displeasure yet yet, it’s because they’re waiting for Fox to tell them which spin it needs to be “acceptable.”
Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? The judge literally posed for pictures with him, and they turned him into a media darling and will probably run him for office if he can stay relevant and out of jail for a few more years.
I definitely get that this could hypothetically be used by the right wing mediasphere (and likely may. They’re always at the bottom of the barrel, scraping away).
My point is…have they? It just seems weird to me to be up in arms over something we think they might do as it sounds like something they would do.
There is PLENTY of shit they’re already doing that deserves our attention. Like, this is a weird trend I’ve been seeing lately. People photoshopping insane right wing bumper stickers or creating…well…“fake news” and then getting up in arms over it. Like. What. We have so much to worry about. Worrying about stuff that isn’t happening is…fuckin dumb. It almost, like, takes attention away from and dulls the impact of the shit they’re actually doing. It just doesn’t make sense.
You need to stop giving regressives the benefit of the doubt. They will couch their rhetoric in as much plausible deniability as you’re willing to extend them, exactly so that you’ll go into the comments and carry water for them.
You and I both know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this will be prime fodder for AM talk radio, pulpits, and other bastions of the culture war. They are out there right now saying, “This is sad, but the boy [sic] was confused and was groomed by society.” Framing it as grooming, dead naming, etc. is all a way for them to muddy the waters and poison the well. If it isn’t blood libel, it’s a single step away. Here’s one example, I am sure you can find more if you look: https://twitter.com/Jermont_II
If you’re more upset about Killers going to Jail then of a young girl being brutally Murdered you might be a Pro Life Republican!
Huh? Are right wingers upset these kids were found guilty?
