    It’s all fun and games until Republicans use this as an excuse to further enforce their fascist agendas. Just glad this happened in Utah and not Illinois or California. Blue states will likely bear the brunt of the repercussions if there are any.

      They were going to no matter what because no one is willing to stop them. Now there’s one less.

        Don’t kid yourself, whatever they were going to do, is going to taken up a few notches.

        However you feel about his dying, the manner of his death will absolutely change what happens next.

          Did anything change after the political assassinations of Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman?

      Republicans are marching National Guard soldiers into the largest cities in America on exaggerated “crime fighting” excuses. They have established an unaccountable militia with ICE hiding their identities and violating the civil rights of American citizens on exaggerated or fabricated drug/violence reasons. They’ve needed no legitimate excuses to do these things, yet they are actively doing them. This changes nothing on that front.
