Don't forget that stupid ear bandage they wore for like a week. It was the irl equivalent of changing your profile picture in solidarity and putting zero actual effort into changing anything. Then he took his stupid bandage off, revealing nothing interesting, and the world collectively forgot about him milking an assassination attempt since there have been 20 bigger stories in the time since. Isn't that wild? Somebody shooting at a former president who is a major party nominee running for reelection is just an "oh yeah..." footnote kind of story when talking about what happened in 2024.
How are trump supporters and undecided voters not just exhausted from all of this? Don't they just want a quiet weekend for once? Life is just so much more pleasant when you're not constantly provoked into being angry over dumb shit all the damn time.
They don't. Unlike the rest of us, they have an addiction to anger. It's the only feeling they have.
It's more surprising that it took as long as it did.
