    Maybe you should actually read the article before claiming you have evidence:

    Metro Nashville Police Department officials say they are aware of the tweets and are receiving phone calls about them but would not confirm their legitimacy.

    David Raybin, attorney for Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale’s parents, told WSMV he could not confirm the legitimacy of the writings.

    “We have never seen a manifesto at any time. We’re not in a position to authenticate these pieces of paper. We have absolutely not released anything, but we certainly did not release this,” Raybin said. “It’s inappropriate for me to make any further comment about it.”

      So you’ve shifted from his manifesto not being littered with CRT ideology to the police will not confirm that the journal is authentic.

        No, I still hold the position that the right wing is using CRT as a boogeyman, and an unconfirmed manifesto (that doesn’t even having anything to do with CRT, let alone being littered with it) in no way supports your claim.

            Yeah, it’s almost like I don’t want to lend any credence to terrorists/terrorist orgs.

                If your water stops working in your bathroom, but you still have water pressure in other parts of the house. Without looking in the pipes, is it wrong to say that there is a clog?

                Even though you never looked?

                I never claimed to know what’s in Hale’s manifesto if there actually is one, and I don’t need to because I know what leads to a metaphorical clog, and CRT ain’t it.

                  The only way to know if water stopped working in your bathroom is to observe it you have to look. Further bathrooms have shutoffs, it’s far more likely the shutoff was enabled. Water pipes getting clogged in a specific area is very uncommon so it would be wrong to think your pipes are clogged. It looks like you know as much about plumbing as the manifesto.

                    It’s a metaphor. If you can’t even try to understand what I’m saying then I don’t know what to tell you.

              You’ve said over and over that you want to better understand conservatives, then you say stuff like this. You also whine that you can’t just defeat the point of the sub by posting lefty shit.

              Do you honestly want to understand, or is that just an excuse?

                No I haven’t. I understand conservatism plenty. It’s all about fighting literally anything that would make the world better, more empathetic, more prosperous, more fair, and actively pushing for regression and death of humanity.

                I’m not here to understand conservatism better. I’m here to stay in the loop, keep my debate skills in check, a bit of entertainment, and on the off chance a fence sitter is passing by, hopefully enough context for them to see through conservative bullshit.
