Pelosi attacker embraced the full gamut of political hatred fomented by republicans

Blog of the suspect in the Paul Pelosi assault reads like a standard case of right-wing online radicalization. QAnon, Great Reset, Pizzagate, Gamergate are all there, along with MRA/misogyny, hatred of Blacks/Jews/trans people/"groomers," and anti-vax conspiracy theories.

DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like “Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!” and “Global Elites Plan To Take Control Of YOUR Money! (Revealed)”

Two days after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd, DePape wrote that the trial was “a modern lynching,” falsely indicating that Floyd died of a drug overdose.

He also posted content about the “Great Reset” – the sprawling conspiracy theory that global elites are using coronavirus to usher in a new world order

his President wanted him to do. We have watched the brainwashing since the 1990s, we shouldn't be the least surprised that it is finally paying dividends for the Fascists. Hate has become a Republican family value.

These crazy bastards just may out-vote us next month. How long can the nation survive with leaders that Republicans are sending to Washington? I can barely wrap my head around the idea that my Georgia neighbors are going to be closely divided over whether to send Walker to Washington. It is mass insanity.

Paul Pelosi WON against a 42 year old brainwormed David Depape who despite making stuff out of hemp and dancing with the nudist mother of their children.. is a Magat sodden Idiot.

David Depape, Paul Pelosi Suspect: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

He also posted about Kanye West, writing, “Ya I remeber the backlash and insults when you came out in support of Trump.”

Depape also weighed in on George Floyd, writing, “Lets get into George Floyd before I forget. What’s the difference between justice and a lynching. Justice is based upon evidence. While lynchings are based upon optics.” He claimed that Floyd was not killed by Police Officer Derek Chauvin’s knee, writing, “The autopsy showed a FATAL level of fentynal in his system and that he had died of a heart attack consistent with the symptoms he was exhibiting prior to being placed on the ground.”

Yet, that was before his violent order to attack the capitol on Jan 6 (his alleged coded order ) where over a hundred police where beaten by MAGA cult and #of deaths ensued from injuries on Jan 6 and days after.

No Blame?' ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.
President Donald Trump insists he deserves no blame for divisions in America.

You can't actually read much - he has this crazy pricing thing going, but just the article titles tell you a lot about what a nutter he is.

On edit: Rolling Stone confirms his site.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/david-depape-alleged-paul-pelosi-attacker-shared-qanon-beliefs-1234620507/

David DePape, the man now charged with attempted homicide and a raft of other felonies for allegedly attacking Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with a hammer in the couple’s San Francisco home early this morning, has a long history of sharing extreme ideas online, including several conspiracy theories popular among far-right conservatives.

At the time of his arrest on Friday, DePape, 42, maintained a subscription-model blog where he vented rage over Covid-19 precautions and espoused beliefs shared by the conspiracist QAnon movement. The page also includes dedicated sections for Holocaust denial, climate change denial, transphobia, racism, misogyny, voter fraud conspiracy theories, Second Amendment absolutism, screeds against groomers and “pedos,” and trashing actress Amber Heard, the ex-wife of Johnny Depp.

Seriously, we need a special high-security prison just for them so they can't destroy what little is left of our prison rehabilitation system. Otherwise, they will brainwash everyone they're in contact with, including the guards.

For me, this event is just another form of Republican insurrection by instilling fear in anyone fighting them.

They should be made to go on national TV and confess to the extremely dangerous lies and deception they are spreading.

WHO ARE THE GLOBAL ELITES? Libs? TRY THE BILLIONAIRES WHO SUPPORT tRUMP.

REALLY and how many houses does Biden have? 2 now. One is a vacation house on the beach. He sold his first home and these 3 are all he ever had.

tRUMP had an apartment building in his name at 3 years old. He had so much gold in his planes they were too heavy to fly properly.
He had to say, "I plead the 5th overr 400 times about the lies he told to make his real estate seem more expensive to the banks and less so on his taxes."

He was in charge when COVID showed up and HE DID NOTHING and people died.
https://doggett.house.gov/media/blog-post/timeline-trumps-coronavirus-responses

Biden got things rolling to get COVID out of our system. He can't help people who WON'T get vaccinated, but less deaths are happening in those who actually GET vaccinated
