Remember this?

Even though I had profound differences with the guy, in this I feel we are together. Because of this:
Knowing the assassination is being exploited to further citizen disarmament by control freaks who have adopted Antifa’s “Bash the fash” ravings, I guess I’ll once more modify the meme:

Republicans had better hope the assassin is caught, especially after Kash Patel announced they had a suspect– only to see him released. And especially when all they have is this:
We’re analyzing it. But it is security camera footage, so you can kind of guess what the quality of that is,” he added. “But we do know, dressed in all dark clothing. But we don’t have a much better description other than that.”
If they don’t change that soon, look for conspiracy theories from the left accusing Republicans of being behind it to gin up a wave of hate against Democrats before the midterms. You don’t think they will?
The government also had no problem rounding up J6ers from surveillance and facial recognition tech. As long as we’re going with conspiracies, consider the push for Palantir and the public demand for a security bill of goods they’ve been sold in the wake of an existential threat. Everybody remember how the “Patriot” Act breezed through with “bipartisan” enthusiasm, and what day it is today?
