This is what happens when you convince your followers that your political opponents are literally baby-eating demon worshippers. At least they didn't try to take anyone else out on the way this time.

It was a cry for help.  Just like all of Reno.

I'm not sure this is a great example of cult-like behavior.

Mental health problems, absolutely. Like.... wow are there some people that need help that just somehow magically to be conservatives. I'm sure you could find examples of loonies on the left but not nearly as many as on the right.

Sad that it had to come to this, but better they off themselves (or each other) privately than try to take out a synagogue full of sabbath worshipers, for example. Or Congress.

"They were just so hell-bent on Trump winning, like this could be in the end ifhe doesn't," Stabley said, referring to an instance when he saw them just before the 2020 election. He said he stopped seeing the two after that.

Life in Pennsylvania often drives one to think of ending it all, what with the bleak weather, hyper-corrupt, long-term Republican government, high taxes, almost no services, ultra-low wages, no real worker protections, very little to do unless you enjoy parkland above all else, etc.

It's usually just one person at a time, though.  I think there have been no fewer than 5 suicides in my family, going back 2 generations in both directions.  So far (no, that's not a hint about me, personally).

True. The audio of that event is some of the most haunting I've ever heard. And I work in counter-terrorism circles.

That said... these guys weren't.

Aside from Trump losing, Christian w seem to be getting a lot of what they have been asking for:

- The overruling of Roe v. Wade
- Laws preventing people from free expression if they have a penis and wear a skirt
- Laws that prevent free speech by educators
- Reduced immigration
- The striking down of state's rights to limit gun deaths
- and coming soon, laws that prevent women from traveling to other states to seek medical help

Did it dawn on them that their conservative utopia is coming and it looks a lot like your whole existence being summed up as "She was a good bowler."?

The adults drank the potion willingly. They made their children take it.

I don't which group is larger, but saying "it wasn't mass suicide, it was mass murder-suicide" doesn't really seem like much of a flex.

The family's front yard was also "littered" with Pro-Trump political signs during the elections, and anti-abortion signs when Roe v. Wade was overturned, the neighbor said.

Well that's three down, unfortunately far too many left to go.

Mortal sin is a Catholic thing (if the article mentioned that they were Catholics then I missed it), and no devout anything believe or follow 100% of what they are devout about, no matter what they might pretend. And that's for everything, not only religious beliefs.

That hadn't occurred to me, but it's plausible. My first thought was that the notes should be checked to determine whether they were all written in the husband's handwriting.
