#i fucking hate the term purity testing btw. its a thought-terminating cliche

Of course, the reveal that the UHC shooter might be a rightwinger is bringing out bad takes like this one:

How is criticizing someone's rightwing politics purity testing? Pple are allowed to clown on Luigi Mangione for having shitty political beliefs while applauding him for shooting a vile human being? It's not exactly a disagreement over differing political beliefs if Mangione possesses political beliefs which dehumanize or has voted for politicians that want to strip rights away from marginalized groups? (Huge emphasis on the "if" part becos its still quite early and we arent even sure if Mangione was the shooter.)

Anyways, focusing the conversation solely on Mangione misses the forest for the trees. It takes away from a very important reckoning on how privatised healthcare insurance companies make money off the most marginalized, most vulnerable pples in the US, and how healthcare is not always accessible to everyone.

So are yall saying that the Right are eating themselves?? Are these examples of violent in-fighting among the Right??
