ALL the elected officials whose homes were shot at are DEMOCRATS.
New Mexico police wonder if the shootings are related.
“related”???? Are these shootings “related”??? Does a bear shit in the woods?
This isn’t just wackadoodle politics, this is the assassination politics stage, paid for to eliminate Democratic leaders at any federal or state level. If they can’t win fairly, can’t cheat, the next thing is kill off the leaders. It happened in ’63 and ’68; it can happen again.
The Right and Republicans are helping an oligarchic class capture democratic governments. NM has been hit first.
Other Democratic trifecta states will follow, imo. I’m erring on the side of history.
We have to stop believing these are one-of-a-kind event, wackadoodle, and lone wolf acts.
