    Apparently, Ashli Babbitt’s mother was in attendance (who knows why). Anyway, this Hostetter dude mentioned Ashli’s name, among all his other brain dead statements. He claimed she’s not actually dead! The mother afterwards said that said didn’t like the comment, but thought that his sentence was too long. How at that point do you not simply say screw him, pile it on?! She’s so gone on her own nonsense probably she can’t even see the people she “sides with” have no interest other than to use her daughter as a prop. And it’s pretty fucking sick. I wish them all the worst.

      Yeah, she’s been trying to capitalize on the comically stupid and pointless death of her traitor daughter for awhile now.

        there’s no gain from mocking a death. don’t preoccupy yourself here

          I’ll mock traitors all I want. Take this sanctimonious nonsense somewhere else.

          I disagree that her death was “comical” but mocking her absolutely serves the purpose of preventing her being elevated as a martyr for a stupid cause. The more everyone says she’s a sad joke who threw her life away for nothing, the harder it is for martyrdom to gain traction. I’m here for it.

          Do you not know of the Darwin Awards?

          Or are you the type of person who “doesn’t speak ill of the dead” even though they might have done stupid or evil things?

              What did she win for her valiant attempt? It doesn’t seem to be more than consequences. If it was really worth it I woud think more of those brave freethinkers would have piled in. That security guard had a Glock with no more than 17 rounds so it’s not like they all would get the same reward babbit did.

                She wasn’t successful. There are only rewards if you can breach, get the prize, and get out.

                Babit shows the full extent of the risk.

      people who have something to gain from her are probably extremely kind to her.

      I’m thinking of how they used Paula Jones in the Clinton impeachment kinda thing.

      So Ashlin Babbitt got her dumb ass self killed. Now her fellow “patriots” think that she was a planted actor as part of the deep state. That’s some chef’s kiss irony right there.

      Also, the fact that this dude brought weapons to an insurrection with the intent of “putting the fear of God” into Congress, and then has the balls to claim that January 6th was a false flag is some serious mental gymnastics. Is he claiming that he’s a deep state plant himself?

      It’s tough because a lot of these people don’t really have a choice unless they want to be alone.

      Either their talked down on by liberals, or taken advantage of by conservatives.

      I think the solution would be for liberals to be kinder and more compassionate to people like this because they clearly don’t know any better! I don’t think most of you can do it though because you’re not actually good people.

        This reads as very out of touch. I grew up with conservatives and am now very liberal. I am not an asshole to them but they will find anyway they can to be assholes to me. Questioning everything about me. My faith, my friends, my diet, my lifestyle, everything. They get mad when I don’t laugh at their gay joke. They get mad when I choose not to eat meat. They get mad when I choose to walk instead of drive somewhere. I’ve never spoken a word of judgement but they take my lifestyle choices as judgment of them and create strawmen in their heads that I am criticising everything they do. These are not ‘good people’. These are people that actively support a self professed aspiring dictator. They take me not eating meat as talking down to them and are willing to retaliate with fascism - this isn’t rational decision making. We need to dismantle corporate run media and the role of money in politics. Stop blaming people that are making good decisions for the problems creates by those making bad ones

        Lol what? “Be kinder to the fascists” has been tried already. It’s called “appeasement.”

        Take a guess how that worked out.
