37. This is where Dems need to learn to play the game
Wed Sep 24, 2025, 11:40 AM
Wednesday

They need a social media blitz claiming, "unconfirmed reports indicate that the Dallas ICE detention center shooter was a Dallas resident that despised Mexicans and told his friends that he "was going to do something about it." However, the authorities have yet to confirm these reports.

The right is already claiming they know it's a Democrat or a Mexican or an illegal alien. Beat them at their own game.
