Midnight Meme Of The Day! And The Republican Bad Parenting Award Goes To...

Hint: Looks Like They Raised A Dead Terrorist

by Noah 

Well, gee, looka there... apparent Idaho arsonist and shooter Wess Roley had Trump fanatics for  groomersparents. There they are, a happy couple visiting the White House in their little red Republican hats. Kinda reminds me of those pictures of Kyle Rittenhouse's parents. I wonder if mom and dad (actually, stepdad. Bio dad was reportedly a guy with Aryan Nations connections who wore Confederate flags) have received a nice call from Trump yet, or maybe another white supremacy freak like Stephen Miller or Sean Hannity called instead? Factor in those Minnesota murders and the J6 murderers and we've got clear evidence of a trend, probable snowballing trend at that. There will be more. They have all the inspiration they need. Plenty of corporate media support, too. It's the Trump contagion unleashed and going viral. With the applause and encouragement of the Supreme Court and at least half of Congress, of course.

While we don't have verification yet about the socio-political proclivities of the stepfather or much in the way of any similar details about the parental units shown above, we do know that the setting of the fire and the killing of the two firemen took place 24 years to the day of the burning of the former Aryan Nations compound by firemen from the same town, Coeur d'Alene, after it was abandoned as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding and the new owner of the property gave his permission for the burning as a fire department training exercise. 

Local Kootenai County Commisioner Bruce Mattare would have us believe that the date of the attack is a "Nothing to see here" moment and that the days of Idaho being a hotbed of Nazi groups like Aryan Nations and The Patriot Front are long gone but the proof is in the voting. The state even has an Attorney General and a Repug legislature that have just banned in-school banners that say "Everyone Is Welcome Here." Local Republicans, conservatives and other similar nazi types find the multi-ethnic depictions of children on such banners to be objectionable. That is not to say that there aren't decent folks in the state but the majority rules and, in Idaho, the majority is bigly Repug.

Wess's schoolmates described him as a total gun nut who loved to draw pictures of guns and swastikas in class. Here's mom and son having an oh so sweet "Bobert Moment" back in 2017. The die was cast.
