All violence is political violence.

Or natives

I'm at a point where I think he's more useful alive than dead. I feel like he's ALREADY going to lose 2024. I'm a little baffled that it's even a close race at all, but I'm still confident that between the debate, and the Taylor Swift endorsement he's dug his own grave. And with that, it means he lost 2020 election, and the 2024 election. Would the GOP really endorse a 2X loser in 2028?

I think him being alive forces them to support their own self made loser. And now even fox news is calling him a loser.

He likes to say things like "they're laughing at us!"

No. They're laughing at YOU trump. You are a laughing stock. Not the country. Not the democrats. Not anybody else but you. You are a loser, soon to be a two time loser, with two impeachments and 34 convictions. Nobody in American history loses bigger than you donald trump.

I'm just glad this fucker is old. Could you imagine if we had to put up with this shit for 20 more years?

He's done regardless after this run.

Look up how many attempts Hitler survived, ridiculous.

Did the guy even fire shots? From what I heard he was just in the area and carrying a firearm.

Now that's a conspiracy theory! Way better than the ludicrous-yet-unimaginative shit the MAGAs come up with.

it is unclear just how much trump is angry at ivanka and jared for allegedly narcing on them.

But pretty sure even eric and don jr know they are getting dick all. He openly loathes them and it might be his only redeeming quality.

Nah. It is just the nature of being the party of gun nuts while openly failing almost all of their purity tests. We actually saw similar (just to a much lesser degree) when trump said something like "I love vaccines" and was boo'd like crazy.

He is a symptom of the rot. Not the source. And by and large he just tries to ride it as best he can.

If Satan's asshole had a face

I refuse to believe a person who otherwise wouldn't vote for Trump will vote for Trump because he was shot at.

He ain't gonna have a Saul/Paul moment, I can tell you that.

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.

Nah somebody nearby had a gun and the FBI I think shot at that guy. AFAIK nobody actually got shot and they arrested gun dude on the highway later.

Edit - sorry for bad link, still don’t think i can do relative post links. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27862700

Secret service shot at guy, guy had scoped AK and a GoPro when they shot at him apparently. Now I’m wondering if there was a 4chan post recently.
