So far so good, only reporting of facts...the first reply:

The very first thing that's said, is that this is the fault of America (for which read, real America, Republican America, certainly not liberal America).

Even more specific - it must be Trump. There's no other possible explanation, no other source of violence...

similar to start happening here, given the level of political rhetoric on the right. Not to mention the amount of crazies out there. Look at Gabby Giffords, after all.

Note again, the assumption that this is all about how wicked the right is.
To be fair, there are a few who know what things are like over here and who call our the knee-jerk reaction - but plenty who are blind to everything other than their hatred of America and Republicans.
For clarification, the deceased (R.I.P.) was a member of the Conservative Party, a Catholic (and a proper one, not a Pres. Biden one), campaigned for pro-life issues, and appears to have been killed by a Somali immigrant (I wonder what this man's religion is...).
Their hatred is shredding their insides - including their already drug-addled brains.

Damn straight. Violence and hate always comes from the Democrats in the US, at least 99.999% of the time.

FIFY. Much as DUpipo would deny it, Scalise and Paul were assaulted by Progs who acted on political hatred. Giffords' shooter, OTOH, was a fruitcake obsessed with her and incapable of coherent political thought.
