  If you cannot win.....
context: Republicans are already blaming the left >
  
  Well she is a republican after all >
  
  "it's too soon to talk about gun violence"
  - Her party. >
  
  This is gonna be interesting.  Is the GQP's desire to never talk about gun violence going to run afoul of the GQP's need to always be perceived as a victim? >
  
  The GOP isn't going to uproot their entire stance for a first term city councilwoman. Especially not when party is hardly relevant at that level of government. >
  
  They will just pretend like nothing happened and she never existed >
  
  Depends on what the shooter looks like. >
  
  I don't think it matters what the shooter looks like. They will use the fact that a Republican was shot as grounds to decry the left as being violent radicals. It could turn out the shooter was of their own party and they'd still spin it this way. >
  
  Well of course.  Or they'd call it a false flag.  Like that dude that shot up the parade.  Literally pictures of him wrapped in a Trump flag.  Pictures at Trump rallies.  Didn't matter.  Guy was a gangly weird weeby looking white dude who apparently just HAD to be Aunty-Fa /s
  Just wait, if anyone high up flips on Trump I'm sure they'll get the same treatment.  Lets say Rudy takes a plea deal to squeal everything about Jan 6th and more.  Well then of course Rudy will have always been a false flag quasi trans Antifa sleeper agent. >
  
  So we’re just the Philippines now? >

  Ms. Dwumfour, who graduated from Newark Public Schools, was a business analyst and a professional scrum master, a type of project manager, with background work in both Maryland and Virginia, according to her LinkedIn profile. In 2017, she received a bachelor’s degree in women’s studies from William Paterson University of New Jersey.
  Karen Bailey Bebert, the Sayreville Republican chair who was Ms. Dwumfour’s campaign manager, said in an interview on Thursday that the councilwoman was an “inspirational woman” who was excited to get into politics at a young age. She overcame challenges “with grit and a smile,” she said.
  Ms. Dwumfour “took on the challenge of this leadership position at a young age and she set a great example for others to follow: If you can see me, you can be me,” Ms. Bebert said >
  
  she has a B.S. in women’s studies and is a republican??? Something doesn’t add up.. >
  
  Even weirder, she was a scrum master and a Republican? Oof. >
  
  Don't care about politics but if this politically motivated attack. Throw the God damn book at them.
  Don't care which party you are.in.
  Take that anger to the polls. >
  
  It's Jersey, more likely to be the mob >
  
  This is genuinely so heartbreaking. She just got elected in 2022 I read. It's just so fucked up and senseless. >
  
  And married right after Thanksgiving of last year. Absolutely gut-wrenching for her now widowed husband and preteen daughter. >
  
  The smug assholes acting like this isn't a terrible crime because she happened to be a Republican are the same ones clutching their pearls at GOP violence. It's a trick. They want you to treat politics like war. It's already been successful for large chunks on the Right. And you are not immune to the same tricks just because you have a BLM poster in your window.
  Folks, there is content in the comments that is designed to appeal to your base impulse of tribalism and hate. Being anything but horrified at the cold blooded murder of an elected official simply because of her party affiliation is a sign you've been lead down a dangerous path. >
  
  I see your concern and agree. But humanity can't beat fascism by taking the high road. 
  Not saying celebrate her death. It's horrific, and may she RIP. But fuck the high road for everything else. >
  
  Why not celebrate her death though? >
  
  Because we can't lose our humanity, regardless of whether the other side has or not. >
  
  What about your statement about taking the  high road >
  
  What about it? >
  
  If we’re not supposed to take the high road why are we not celebrating her death >
  
  "Fuck the high road" =/= "let's only take the low road" >
  
  Well why not >
  
  Mob Hit >
  
  GQP : if only she had a bazooka to protect herself >
  
  Trebuchets are the superior siege weapon. >
  
  A woman is dead here.   I am disgusted with the partisan bickering over this. 
  Not my circus, but come on. >
  
  Why wouldn't you make this comment a direct response to someone bickering over it instead of a top level comment? >
  
  WTF!! >
  
  RIP >
  
  Husband? >
  
  Articles say no suspects yet, husband probably has an alibi. Doesn't make sense for him to shoot her while on the road either. >
  
  I’m thinking its more likely someone who has a beef with her husband.   Perhaps he’s completely legit, but it makes more sense that someone would do a mob style hit to the wife of a rival than someone wanting to kill a town council person.
