The El Paso massacre is one of the worst mass shootings in modern American history. With the death toll at 22, it’s the worst attack of 2019, the eighth-deadliest mass shooting on record, and the fifth mass shooting since 2016 in which 17 or more people were killed.
Mourning victims of mass shootings and the inevitable cycle of outrage, predictable arguments, exasperation, and political inaction — thanks to the GOP’s unshakeable loyalty to the gun lobby — has become a new American pastime.

The author of the text appeared to anticipate the political fallout of such an attack, which seemed prescient after Democratic presidential candidates began condemning Trump for his rhetoric on immigration.
To be sure, despite the apparent attempt to distance the author's views from Trump, there were clear similarities between some of the language in the document and some of the president's language.
The document was littered with references to immigration as an "invasion." The author painted a picture of a nation where migrants and automation had ousted white Americans from their jobs.
Natalie Martinez, a researcher on online extremism for the liberal group Media Matters for America, tweeted that the president's rhetoric to supporters played on the same fears seen in the document.
A search she conducted of Facebook's online ad archive found that Trump had run 2,200 Facebook ads since May 2018 describing immigration as an "invasion."
