After a senseless tragedy, people – almost invariably conservatives – are told to never, ever dare <\/em>to “politicize” it [1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46 year old Anthony Nephew of Duluth apparently politicized his family’s tragedy for <\/em>us over the weekend, murdering his wife and son, his ex-partner and son, and checking himself out afterward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

According to the London Daily Mail<\/a> (far and away the best rouce for Minnesota news that doesn’t kiss the DFL’s ass):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

[Nepohew] also appeared increasingly concerned about the prospect of a Trump-led government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion,’ he said in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘I am terrified of religious zealots inflicting their misguided beliefs on me and my family. I have intrusive thoughts of being burned at the stake as a witch, or crucified on a burning cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Having people actually believe that I or my child are Satan or, the anti-Christ or whatever their favorite color of boogie man they are afraid are this week.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had also accused Republicans of ‘making it harder for women to leave’ domestic violence relationships, writing ‘Gilead here we come.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilead is an apparent reference to the Handmaid’s Tale, a dystopian republic which overthew the United States and stripped away women’s rights.<\/p>\n

Huh. So you mean a decade of saying a political candidate is the plague makes the least stable among us think he’s…a plague?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
