House Unites to Condemn Minnesota Shootings — Still Too Scared to Say ‘MAGA’
The House unanimously passed a “bipartisan resolution” condemning the Minnesota shootings — an elegant display of mutual mourning. But don’t be fooled; this isn’t unity, it’s an off-the-rack sympathy card.
Here’s what really happened: 57‑year‑old Vance Luther Boelter, radicalized in MAGA echo chambers, drove up to a state lawmaker’s home with one goal — kill. According to federal documents, he had a hit list of ten people, all political or ideological targets (yahoo.com, en.wikipedia.org). He gunned down Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, as part of a political bloodbath aimed at “harassing and intimidating Minnesota legislators” (en.wikipedia.org).
And what did Congress do? It passed a tissue‑handing resolution. Soft gestures. Zero friction.
This “bipartisan” gesture is like so many sweaty-palmed symbolic gestures: It costs nothing, solves nothing, and doesn’t even mention the MAGA conspiracy vortex that sired this maniac.
The real threat isn’t hiding. It’s on Discourse, Telegram, Truth Social – lone wolves steeped in rage, doom scrolling – gulping MAGA banter for unquenchable thirsts. These are men radicalized not in secret but in plain view, fed a steady diet of fear, fantasy, and firepower. And while lawmakers trade tissues and platitudes, the rot continues to spread — one forum post, one conspiracy meme, one hit list at a time.
This resolution? A Hellmark sympathy card. Fine for the optics. But until they admit the source of disease, Congress is nothing more than cartographers — mapping wounds and refusing to stop the bleeding.
