Tragically, another week in America and More mass shootings; Michigan Mormon Church. And the shots from the boat were fired at the quay bar in North Carolina. Different places, different victims, different families remained broken.
However, there was one obvious similarity, and that is that both shooters were reported to have encouraged MagaAnti-LGBTQ+ Rage.

Let the silence from the extreme right and Trump’s administration begin.
Where is the news from the wall to the wall that distinguishes all the details of their families? Where there is a frantic Kash Patel and Pam Bondi Tweets who connect roommates, cousins or neighbors to a transgender person with some imaginary radical left -wing conspiracy?
Where is all breathtaking speculation? It is not because the shooters do not match the right -wing homophobic and transphobic speaking points.

Compare this silence with a flair that followed the terrible murder of Charlie Kirk. The second extreme right learned that the Kirk shooter had a Trans Roomer that had nothing to do with the crime, the Smear campaign moved to Overdrive.
Consider how New York record plastered The Trans Room Friend, throughout its coverage, as if a transgender is a proof of guilt itself. Patel sent many accusations and misinformation; Internet trolls make false statements about the Trans messages recorded on bullet houses, Which was not true;
Actually that roommate is likely to be The main witness of the Government before the shooter. But the damage was done. The LGBTQ+community was again dragged through dirt, glued as if every strange man in America had attracted a trigger.
So now we have a North Carolina shooter who left behind the trail Anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracies; Michigan Sagittarius, who entered the worship house With magica ties And the rage against the Mormon Church.
But since they are straight white magic men, after one day coverage disappears. Far right -handed people do not want to talk about it. No frantic does not delve into the social media of his roommates. No attempts to lubricate their families. No Bondi twist about the evils of being. Hypocrisy is funny.
Before killing Kirk, one of the last questions he answered from the stage was about transgender mass shooters. ‘Too muchHe replied when asked how many of them were in the last decade. But The opposite is valid; The same misinformation machine after his murder invaded the action not with the actual shooter, but to pay attention to the innocent “Trans” roommate.

However, after last weekend, the attention was gloomy. Because if we look at these latest shooters too closely, we should face the fact that the movement itself, which spends endlessly demonizing LGBTQ+ Americans, is the one that is associated with weapons, machoness and hatred.
It is unnecessary and gloomy, but America has actually become a shooting gallery, and it repeats every time we have these mass shootings. Honestly and unfortunately, you can no longer follow, whether it’s schools, concerts, church or lake shore bars.
Although the bullets are dangerous, also a lie that can be related to them when it is suitable for a story about the extreme right. Lies that strange people somehow encourage this violence. Lies whose transgender Americans wait for every roof. The lie that Maga’s violence is a fantasy created by the “radical left”.
Mass shootings in this country have no space. None. Zero. However, the scapegoat, separated by communities, just to score political points. Each time Patel, Bondi or Dight Wing media starts another unreasonable smear, they gave the goal of LGBTQ+ Americans.
They normalize hate. And they are at great risks in doing so. They also brutally make another shoot.
All of this is the chairman of the Trump, which glorifies violence in his ice raids and military invasions from cities. The one who rejoices the language of hatred even a The Memorial Service And who wraps his hands around the gun lobby, demonstrating the separated communities that his base is so eager to fascinate.

He will not stop, mainly because he does not want, and because he does not know how. If Trump thinks you think he’s wrong, he just digs more. That is why his words are like a lighter liquid, and his followers are the openings that blink in it.
Where is the resentment after last weekend? Why are this shooter’s roommates watched by journalists? Why not every Maga Facebook post that is not Trans Hate? Why is the rage uncontrolled only when there is a strange person nearby?
Because it always talks about hatred and hypocrisy.
