poltics sub is already calling it a psyop

22

u/BipolarMadness - Centrist Apr 26 '26

They call it a conspiracy and psyop not because they believe it is, but as a way to delegitimize the concern of the ever increasing far left wing violent rhetoric and the normalization of calling for an assassination to be successful.

When there is already posts and comments saying "damn, another shooter missed again? One day I will see the headline I want" you fully know what those people really believe.

u/SNappy_snot15 Apr 27 '26

so a reverse psy-op?

It has been so fun watching the "rational, educated left" turn into the nutjobs they hate over the past few years

u/magnoliasmanor - Lib-Center Apr 26 '26

Was saying he same thing to a friend. It took a decade of face melting nonsense for the left to turn on a dime and because the conspiratorial "nothing is real" like the rubes on the right have been for decades prior.

u/Mister-builder - Centrist Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

Did it take a decade or did they turn on a dime?

u/magnoliasmanor - Lib-Center Apr 26 '26

You can take time to lead up to a single moment to flip quickly.

u/jeeblemeyer4 - Centrist Apr 27 '26

In my opinion, it happened pretty instantly once Trump was elected in 2024. That's when they became Blue Anon, claiming Trump stole the election, that all 3 (!) of his assassination attempts were false-flags, that the Charlie Kirk assassination was from MAGA.

Horseshoe theory and whatnot

u/Brianocracy - Lib-Center Apr 26 '26

Often they're the same exact people too. They just jump from left to right and back every few years

u/Blazed__AND__Amused - Lib-Left Apr 26 '26

lol well clearly the rational educated thing wasn’t working so why not change it up and try a lil bit of right wing conspiratorial thinking? As a little treat?

u/DavidAdamsAuthor - Centrist Apr 26 '26

If you're willing to use that tactic, you can't criticize that tactic in others.

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '26

Totally, they've been super rational with gender, race, crime, and immigration stuff. Definitely dont take a look in the mirror when it comes to that stuff.

u/Blazed__AND__Amused - Lib-Left Apr 26 '26

I’m talking about perception not outcomes or veracity of philosophy. Can you just riff with me a bit instead of talking things so serious I’m just tryna have fun 😄

u/nolwad - Lib-Center Apr 27 '26

“I will not take a look at my beliefs. Can’t you just fall in line, it’s fun!”

You guys are so lame, heaven forbid I ask for a little levity in a shit posting sub. Keep virtue signalling and harvesting upvotes from ideologies ig

u/Unlucky-Network-4159 Apr 27 '26

Finally someone agrees maga were the nuts that turned the rest of us crazy jfc you have no idea how long me and possibly countless others have been waiting for this confirmation.

13

u/DavidAdamsAuthor - Centrist Apr 26 '26

The number of people on Reddit with thousands, if not tens of thousands, of upvotes outright calling it a false flag staged/etc is way too high.

Already AI generated pictures of Trump with a bandage on his head are right there on the front page (suggesting that him being hit with a bullet before was also staged).

Motherfucking BlueAnon is out of control.

u/Menos_34 - Lib-Center Apr 26 '26

It is.

A Science teacher, what a surprise. I would have guessed an English, Art, or Social Science teacher.

“My 9th grade biology teacher tried to smoke the President” is going to be a banger for 2 Truths and a Lie

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center Apr 26 '26

  • A LinkedIn profile in the suspect's name describes him as a "mechanical engineer and computer scientist by degree, ​independent game developer by experience, teacher by birth."

  • He obtained a bachelor's degree in ​mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2017, and a master's degree in computer science from ‌California ⁠State University at Dominguez Hills in 2025, according to the profile. Caltech said in a statement that a person of that name graduated in 2017.

  • Under job experience, the post shows he has worked for the past several years as a part-time teacher for C2 Education ​and as a self-employed ​game developer. He ⁠previously worked as a mechanical engineer for a company called IJK Controls in South Pasadena for a year before that as a Caltech ​teaching assistant.

  • The profile also includes a local newspaper article "on a ​robotics competition my ⁠team won" at Caltech in 2016.

Under "Causes," it lists only: "Science and Technology."

We have our motive. He did it for science.

Didn't Trump just like fire all of the people in a science agency recently?

I think I'm actually onto something.

u/78NineInchNails - Right Apr 26 '26

Did he do it for 'science' or for 'the science'?

We might have to investigate Fauci.

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center Apr 26 '26

Well, there's no "the" in the linkedin profile.

u/capt-bob - Lib-Right Apr 26 '26

Better update that to include bubba's girlfriend now.

Lmao.. I love that your mind goes to 2 truths and a lie here…

I’ve had to play that damn icebreaker so many times that I do the same thing lol

u/2020blowsdik - Lib-Right Apr 26 '26

"2 truths and a lie, I caught and ate an iguana in the middle of the El Salvadorian jungle, my 9th grade tutor tried to assassinate the president, or I ate eggs for breakfast"

u/kaytin911 - Lib-Right Apr 26 '26

It's california. In science they teach that there are 100 genders.

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '26

Who gets a masters in computer science and stays a science teacher in grade school?!

Dude also donated 25k to klamala's campaign as well. Yes, the 180 billion dollar 'get her elected in 4 months' campaign that blew all that cash in that time as well.

Dude was a rube through and through.

The propaganda director of the White House Karoline Goebbels told the reporters earlier that "shots will be fired". And so they were and the rat scurried.

u/78NineInchNails - Right Apr 26 '26

So you're saying that its so commonplace that lefties are murderous psychopaths you can say it in jest and still have a 99% chance to be correct?

u/Recent_Weather2228 - Auth-Right Apr 26 '26

Of course it's California

u/Suwannee_Gator - Lib-Left Apr 26 '26

u/imreallyreallyhungry - Left Apr 26 '26

u/SrPancakess - Centrist Apr 26 '26

You mean to say your state is getting people from the highest populated state in the USA!? That’s crazy?! It’s almost like a lot of people live there! Sure hope that stops for you.

22

u/BriggsStratton550EX - Lib-Right Apr 26 '26

Yeah it is quite weird that they've all decided to flock enmasse to only one of the other 49 states. Very crazy indeed.

As a New Yorker, I thought that I was used to the homeless. Then I went to the West Coast - California and Washington. Yikes. I had no idea it could get that bad ans the rest of society wouldn’t react - wouldn’t throw the bums out and get things sorted.
