That's two legitimate assassination attempts in a very short period of time, I wonder what effect that would have on someone's state of mind?
He ain't gonna have a Saul/Paul moment, I can tell you that.
I don't get the reference. He doesn't seem like a particularly introspective person though.
New testament fascist who killed and arrested Christians, who on his way to Damascus to arrest more christians, god temporarily blinds. After this he becomes a super Christian and wrote much of the approved catholic new testament books. These books mostly comprise letters to certain groups of very early Christians.
(I say approved Catholic new testament books because, boy howdy, there were so many more that the catholic church found heretical and banned - they loved to maintain their fictional narrative)
12 years of catholic school gurgled that out. Time to talk to my therapist.
Wait till you hear about evangelical ACE schools.
My brother in Christ, I feel you.
I was there. Mid-70's southern Florida. The most batshit crazy fundies making my life an utter misery for around 4 years. Surely they don't still exist.
Yes, we have one locally.
I thought that was a breaking bad reference when you made the first comment.
Yeah, at his age it's pretty unlikely someone is going to change in a meaningful way.
Gosh, honestly I wish I had first thought of a Saul Goodman reference. Would have put my mind in a much better space!
ROFL. Some kids from ACE schools might remind you of some of his clients. I'll say it again: sociopaths are made.
Right after his first assasination, there was a thread where someone said "If that happened to someone else, they'd probably have PTSD".
And I said "What makes you think he DOESN'T have PTSD after a bullet that was 100% intentionally fired at him, with the intention to kill him, narrowly missed because he just so happened to turn his head inches away from the path by total accident?"
The general consensus was that trump can't have ptsd because he's a bad person who ruins others lives.
And thats total bullshit. Not the part about him being a bad person, and ruining others lives. Thats still true. He IS a piece of shit who seperated families from their children, leaving them to bake, and sometimes die in metal boxes without water.
The part thats bullshit is the idea that bad people can't get ptsd because they're bad people. I fully believe trump had/has ptsd, and this will only reignite it further.
I hope he doesn't become president. Harris is the best case scenario in every case except one. I fully believe that if trump becomes president, he's going to make a much harder push for gun reform simply because for him personally it's literally a life or death situation.
If he becomes president, I would not be surprised if he tries to end gun ownership being legal.
That being said, I don't expect that plan to come to fruition. I fully expect it to fail because it would be a legal and logistical nightmare. But my point is on this one issue he would actually try. Whereas it's not going to be a major issue for Harris.
Harris will have many issues she's trying to address, while trump, once again, will only thinking of himself. It just so happens that his one issue just so happens to benefit everyone. Not by design, but as a biproduct.
That being said, it's FAR more important for Harris to win. Many issues are more important than one.
There's a lot of people on Lemmy, particularly in the politics and world news communities, that I would go out of my way to avoid in real life. They seem to forget that people they don't like are human, and say some absolutely vile things as a result.
A particularly bad example was when the Titan submersible was lost, there were some downright ghoulish comments made after that happened.
Better people have wanted worse things to happen to the ruling class.
Most of the people on that sub weren't the ruling class though. Petit borgeoise at best, apart from Rush himself.
Some were, some weren't just trying to explain the sentiment.
Hopefully he has a massive stroke.
I'm worried it would fuck his mind so bad he'd start making sense /s
Unclear how legit they are. Don't rush judgment, especially when the victim and his associates are narcissistic liars.
Or rather, define "legitimate". It matters in a situation like this.
