Conspiracy theories and harassment of victims' families
Fake news websites and far-right
Conspiracy theories circulated at the hospital where victims were being treated. According to The Washington Post, a group of women who said they knew the victims were overheard discussing the shooting as a false flag operation designed to manipulate the public towards some nefarious end. The Post reporter sought to inquire further, but the women pushed her away, saying, "She [the reporter] is part of it [the conspiracy]," after which the reporter was removed from the hospital by police.[84] The misinformation mirrored similar events in the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting a few weeks earlier, in which perpetrator Stephen Paddock was falsely linked to leftist and Islamist
In 2018, two conspiracy theorists, Jodi Mann and Robert Ussery, were arrested after accosting the church's pastor, whose daughter was killed in the shooting. Both were charged with trespassing and resisting arrest, and Ussery was also charged with making a terroristic threat and possession of marijuana. Mann and Ussery deny that the massacre occurred and instead promote "false flag" conspiracy notions on the Internet, asserting that the Sutherland Springs attack and other attacks were orchestrated for political purposes.[93]

Concerning the Patreon link you sent.
In the last election, conservatives worked themselves into a lather over MS-13.
Today MS-13 has, at most, trivial importance for conservatives.
Now, this same need to be afraid of a group that can be easily demonized focuses on Antifa.
And four years from today, Antifa will have trivial significance for conservatives.

"Who Gets The Political Support Of 892 Certifiable U.S. Hate Groups?"

I speak Spanish fluently and spend more time with latinos than I do with "white" people.
Even so...
Neither I, nor my latino friends - nor anyone else I know - has ever had interaction with an MS-13 member, much less a threatening interaction.
And I would bet loooonnnnnnngggggggggggggggg odds that neither you -- nor any of your friends -- have ever had interaction with an MS-13 member.
Nor will you.
Like Antifa, MS-13 is almost entirely a bogeyman. In the first presidential debate, Trump's allegation that Biden was downplaying Antifa, it turns out that Biden was citing Christopher Wray, the fellow Trump himself appointed to replace James Comey as head of the FBI. https://www.usatoday.com/
In large part, the non-existent threat of MS-13 to middle class white people (and nearly everyone else as well) is because gangs are highly territorial, a self-limiting behavior which pretty much confines them to a small number of blighted inner-city neighborhoods.
The VERY LAST inclination of a gang member would to "move in next door to you" even though this mendacious pitch - like, literally tens of thousands of other mendacious pitches-- is standard fare with Liar-in-Chief and his Florida flack Rep. Matt Goetz.
What is certain is that conservatives frighten more easily than liberals and are therefore more easily manipulated by populist demagogues.
In my view, American conservatives fail to pass an essential Christian litmus:
But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

THIS IS RIDICULOUS reporting.Don’t be afraid of our big pickups and Trump flags! We don’t even leave litter behind us when we gather.We are not like Portland.

NPR just reported that, despite evident attempts to suppress the vote in Pennsylvania and to cast aspersions on the integrity of Philadelphia's electoral process, 90% of the city's registered voters signed up for mail-in ballots this election cycle, and the city has spent 5 million dollars on state of the art gear to count votes. Assuming the equipment was not made in Russia, these facts bode well, although the vote will not be completely counted until Friday, giving Trump opportunity to claim Election night victory, thus establishing a narrative that will need to be refuted - in other words, an uphill battle. (Pennsylvania is home to 12.8 million people, nearly 2 million of whom live in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.)PPS Here is the link to FiveThirtyEight.com's predictions. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-elect ion-forecast/?cid=rrpromo 538 was created by America's foremost political statistician, Nate Silver, who -- on the eve of the 2016 election -- gave Trump a 26% chance of winning. Here is an interesting article about 538's unusually high rating of Trump's chances in the last election. https:// fivethirtyeight.com/features/ why-fivethirtyeight-gave- trump-a-better-chance-than- almost-anyone-else/ Currently, 538 gives Trump a 10% chance of winning, a number that declined another point overnight. Six weeks' ago, Nate et al's crunching of polling data gave Trump a 26% chance of winning. If you would like to see Nate's statistical predictions for individual states, keep scrolling down his "Election Forecast" page. For example, 538 currently gives Trump a 15% chance of winning PA - and Biden an 85% chance. "Is It Time For Red States And Blue States To Collaborate On The Creation Of Two Nations?"
