Seems like they only have a problem when it’s their boy getting violence.

    My frustration is the lack of response from Sticker Mule to all of Trump’s demands for violence. Migrants. LGBT. Women. Opposing political party.

    Then when violence happens to their boy, suddenly it’s problematic.

    Fuck that noise.

      You don’t get to make fun of violence against others and then clutch your pearls when people aren’t sympathetic to violence against you.

      • Jokes about Paul Pelosi
      • There were good people on both sides
      • I prefer presidents who don’t get shot.
      • Every callous thing he’s said about school shootings.

      But now that it’s him, it’s different. Sometimes I swear we’re all NPCs in Trump’s game world.

    “Americans shouldn’t live in fear. I support fascism.”

    does not follow. as always, hogs mean only themselves when they say American, and are willing to kill countless Americans with any difference.

      This kind of crap is said by everyone who supports fascists everywhere in the world. They have managed to convince themselves that the people they support and the ideologies they hold are not fascist because fascism = bad guy, and they are not bad.

      They can’t be bad, they hardly own any Nazi memorabilia, just the normal room full, the normal amount just like all their friends.

    I’m SURE Sticker Mule said basically this EXACT SAME THING when someone tried to Murder Nancy Pelosi right?

      Interesting how in both cases the violence came from the same side and yet fingers are not pointed. Just another “both sides” post.

        TBF he might have jumped on the opportunity to publicly air his persecution complex before realizing the shooter is a Repub.

    Time for Conservatives to play the reverse-uno victim card again. After stoking the flames of political violence for literally YEARS, they suddenly act shocked and horrified when political violence happens… but only because it was directed at their own. It’s not supposed to work like that, it’s supposed to be dumb liberals getting assaulted/killed without repercussions. Trump should’ve already been tried as a traitor and given the necessary punishment for that. That it took this long for something like this to happen is kind of mind-blowing. MAGA folks have already made assassination attempts on multiple other officials prior to this, including his former vice president.

      Thousands of them marched on Capitol Hill at Trump’s prompting, tried to lynch the vice president, tried to kill Congress, and several people died as a result. They didn’t have any problems with violence on that day, or any day following, until yesterday.

    Well this fucking sucks, I liked Sticker Mule. My wife illustrates and gets stickers printed by them, and they’ll send goodies in the box with it (like their hot sauce, which is also pretty good).

    I’m all for a business taking a stance of “against violence”, but I didn’t know they were so pro-Trump. Personally I have mixed feelings because I don’t want to open this Pandora’s Box of more and more violence, particularly in public places. But I also can’t pretend that we’d be better off with Trump gone. We’d at least have the GOP stop pretending that he had the best ideas.

      I’ve always gotten corporate marketing stickers printed by them and didn’t think to check if they were nutters. Now that I know, I’ll be using an alternative vendor.

    The “you’re fired” guy, who had a cameo in Home Alone 2, was shot at yesterday. What a weird world we live in.

    What, exactly, are they scared of? Being told they’re wrong to support trump? Being told facts about conservative actions that have damaged, and will actively worsen, people’s lives, geopolitics, society, and the planet that make them face the fact that their beliefs suck and are harmful? Does it scare them to hear that trump is a piece of shit for innumerable completely objective reasons?

    Because I don’t know of any liberals threatening to bring tiki torches to conservative rallies and act like the Hitler Youth, I don’t hear of liberal laws being made that make it ok to run over conservative protesters with your car. I don’t see armed liberals showing up at polling stations.

    So what is it they’re scared of, other than being told they’re horrible for supporting a fascist and the dismantling of our democracy?

      They’re scared of losing their customer base. If most of their customers are trending politically left, they know that it’s a potential corporate death sentence to say they support fascism.

      It’s regular Repub persecution complex. Saw an opportunity and leapt on it, “muh both sides are so full of hate, why can’t we all get along?” I wonder if they quietly deleted the tweet after finding out the shooter is a fellow Repub?
