U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), an ally to President Donald Trump, is in hot water over a social media post.
Lee on Sunday took to X and posted a photo of a man accused of posing as a police officer and shooting two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses.
Along with the image, Lee confusingly wrote, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”
Some kinds of people (often conservatives) don’t use words to convey consistent meaning. They use words for the effect it has on the audience. It’s emotions.
They see something bad, they reach into their bag of bad-thing-words, and pull out “Marxist”. That’s it.
They are in a fundamental sense stupid.
