MASS SHOOTING active shooter Lewiston maine [View all] eShirl Oct 2023 OP

MAGA Eliot Rosewater Oct 2023 #1

In Maine? Maybe but they are pretty blue up there. jimfields33 Oct 2023 #2

No, they're not. brooklynite Oct 2023 #18

Yeah but shooters are mostly MAGAts, don't you agree? Kingofalldems Oct 2023 #19

1) Not necessarily. 2) there are certainly right-wing types in rural Maine. brooklynite Oct 2023 #22

There are plenty of MAGAT types PatSeg Oct 2023 #48

You have stats to prove that? WarGamer Oct 2023 #98

Active shooters are mostly MAGATS. live love laugh Oct 2023 #109
