Who is funding and orchestrating this massive "No Kings" operation?

Anyone who's read the many comments of liberal hate around here isn't surprised something like this shooting has occurred. All it takes is guns and hate taken a step too far, as a manifesto targeting democrats plans out and executes a killing.
To stop the incendiary rhetoric, hate and violence, the individual on top, Trump, must quit his liberal hate narrative lies and become a fair leader. He often fans the fire to rile up his crazies, and one can be assured this killer in Minnesota was a staunch supporter of this administration.
Uh huh. Sure Donald, secretly, I doubt you actually care, based on your past actions and incendiary words flaming the divisive nature of liberal hate you and your echo chamber have provided.
Of course, this person was not for 'no kings', it was pissing him off and giving him reason to build a manifesto against democrats. and people who were known pro choice and abortion providers. He dressed as a policeman and executed his plan by killing two and leaving two children, shockingly with dead parents.

He has been caught.
Not an illegal immigrant, not a Latino, not a member of a minority group!
A white anti-abortion guy.
With many more on his hit-list!
Guess we all know who to blame for this!

Can already predict some blaming the protests for the shooting over the reality that democracy is being dissed by this administration, leading to action, not by actors and paid people(another false lie Trump has been spreading thru his echo chamber), it is by regular Americans who cherish the country's constitution and past ways of trying to be a fair, intelligent and law biding nation for all.
Don't twist the blame Donald, it's very much on MAGA's ideology of authoritarian rule and cultish ways, leading to insurrection of the capitol, of which you approved and pardoned many, leading your crazier types to plan manifestos to use guns to kill.

Extremist Christian terrorist?

Plenty of insanity these days, and assassins definitely not the answer to an already troubled world.
As everyone wants and shares the same dreams around family, health, education, prosperity, peace, etc., just a question of how for individuals and society to best achieve these dreams.

While out at our town's No Kings demonstration we were asking each other jokingly "hey, who paid you to be here?" It is such a ridiculous way of thinking.

MAGA far-right terrorism rears its ugly head again...
All instigated by the Head Terrorist-in-Chief in the WH...

The victim just recently voted to cut State funding for illegal immigrants and the suspect had many No Kings flyers in his car and a Tim Walz appointee. He is a pure nut job with views all over the place.

I am reading that the politician who was killed had just voted against democrats on something related to healthcare for illegal immigrants, whether the gunman knew this before shooting her I am not sure.

Vance Boelter has had multiple appointments to the State Workforce Development Board. He has been a member of that board since 2016, one of 41 such members who incidentally included one of his victims. You can read more about him here.

You may notice that his list of intended victims included abortion providers and abortion supporters. He was a former preacher in Africa and held strong anti LGBTQ views along with strong anti abortion views.
Ah_so
Far right terrorism, encouraged by the rhetoric of Donald Trump.
Naturally the far right comment machine based in lairs in Russia will soon have a pro-fascist line out to justify this in someway.
And if they can't, it will be some kind of whataboutary.
And if not that, obfuscation.
But it will never change that this fascist murderer was whipped up by the MAGA movement to hate "the Dems" and believe that they are deserving of death.

I pray for your soul and for those who are departed.
No you don't.
You radiate pure hatred with every single post you make on this board.
I would bet anything you were absolutely ecstatic to read this news.

It was Russia. The USA helped finish WW2 faster, that's all. It's clear that Trump is Putin's little obedient doggie.

American carnage, and this won't be the end of it despite all Trump's windy rhetoric.

Since you are clearly imagining this parade did you put some prancing unicorns in it too?

I would have thought that a maga event with thousands of military and tanks would be quite a safe space for you.
Don’t cower in fear at home, be brave.
