Your description seems to imply that capitalism is "left" and leads to "left" action.Well, you have to admit that a huge chunk of the mainstream and "alternative" media is controlled by wealthy interests. And you have to admit that those same wealthy interests can afford to rent large numbers of politicians, and don't seem to mind doing it. And you have to admit that those same politicians aren't being paid right now not to exercise government's muscle.
So, yeah. Most media is down with government action. In other words, left.
In this case, "left" includes Donald Trump. But I can't help that.
All I see is a cloud of internet FUDDD.
What you're seeing in that poll is a measurement of whether or not the person being polled will believe the Trump administration based solely on faith.
It's natural that it would skew as shown.
Which facts?More like the natural tendency to not blame their own side, facts be damned. BAMN!
Which facts?
Great.Doesn't matter. Applies to any situation.
You mean the fact that government officials have said those "facts," first via leaks (that they retweeted) and then from a podium?In this specific case, the closet things we have to "facts" are family members saying that the shooter and his roommate were leftist lovers. Then you have whatever levels of govt has said the same thing, whether the Utah Police, the FBI, or Trump himself (not that I have heard Trump get into any details, but he probably has at this point).
"Trans inspired" is an amazing phrase.Just rejecting that the shooter was a trans inspired leftist "because Trump" is one motivator. Likewise, rejecting because they don't want to admit it was their (or your) side is another motivator. Neither are relying on facts.
