This is exactly right. It’s sort of hard to respect people who sit on here and bloviate, day in and day out, about how Trump is the embodiment of evil, grave threat to our country and the world, a Nazi, a fascist, etc. Then, turn around when something like this happens and vomit up the same mundane, applause break talking points condemning violence and feigning some type of civility. Yall did this. It’s so fake and people who are suddenly minding their P’s and Q’s have ZERO principles. Put you fucking money where your mouths are and tell us you wish he would’ve died yesterday. Save us from the Nazis and the threat to democracy! If i truly thought an evil person was taking over the world I’d be glad they got clapped. But deep down you all know you are just blowing hot air and being dramatic to inflate this supposed ‘threat’ Trump poses. You just wanted to get your political way by any means possible and now the chickens have come home to roost and its time to start back pedaling your bullshit. Yall are kind of pussies, sorry to say. And your shitty, hyperbolic chicken-little-the-sky-is-falling ideology of fear mongering and scare tactics is what caused that dumb kid to crawl on a roof and get his head popped trying to assassinate a president. Congatulations, you played yourself.
JUST IN: Thomas Matthew Crooks had explosive devices in his car that he drove to the Trump rally according to the Wall Street Journal. Police say they were tipped off of suspicious packages near the suspect. "Police received multiple reports of suspicious packages around near where the shooter was, authorities said, prompting them to dispatch bomb technicians," the WSJ reported. "Investigators were still working to make sure the scene was clear well into the night. They also searched Crooks’s home and spoke with his family." The FBI still says there is no clear motive.
5 months ago, Alex Jones and InfoWars guest Ivan Raiklin discussed how assassinating Trump would be beneficial, according to them, because it would lead to retaliatory “in kind” assassinations of a “deep state” list which includes President Joe Biden. Ivan Raiklin: “If they [assassinate Trump], option 2, behind Trump, is going to be so much better for us and so much worse them.” Alex Jones: “I was about as to say, If they kill him, that’s best case scenario from a sick level. From a sick level medium, ‘Oh, please kill him.’ I mean, it’s so good after that.” Raiklin: “Oh, it’s going to be the best cleansing and the fastest cleansing that we’ve ever seen in my lifetime. I guaran—, I access, with almost certainty, with the highest level of confidence, that if they assassinate Trump, it is so game over for them.”
I thought the Republican Party would wait until after electing him to poison him slowly. But maybe martyrdom would be preferable for them politically.
Nothing burgers. People are allowed to speculate wild hypotheticals when they are sitting around essentially bulshitting in a podcast. These aren’t calls to violence. This is more fear mongering boogeyman bs. Spooky Trump and Alex Jones, oh no. Nobody buys it anymore…look where it got us yesterday bud. Maybe someone can shoot Alex Jones next? Only one side is now the violent, murderous one and it’s the anti-Trump left. Radicalized by a lying, fear-inducing media. Ive read unhinged shit pertaining to Trump being on the receiving end of violence right here in this very forum, more than once. I’ll admit it’s not something i take seriously, but after the current events it sheds quite a poor light on ‘your side’ that constantly pontificates as if they exist on some sort of higher moral plane. It’s all horseshit. And now the repercussions are on display for everyone to see.
And, I mean, what of it? I don't want someone to be shooting at Trump. I also know we have mass shootings pretty much every day that end lives in adolescence and destroy families and we just act like they're a fact of life, when, in truth, the latter should be every bit as important as the former and possibly more so.
Exactly. The same people being more energized doesn't mean their votes count twice or three times now. If pumping his fist makes you want to vote for him, you were going to vote for him anyway. If you're concerned with anything else, that's not going to move you and might even turn some people off.
Undecided voters exist. And so do traditionally democrat voters who will never vote for a democrat again, i.e. my entire family back in Oregon and most all my friends who grew up liberal, like me. You seem to be trying way too hard to pacify yourself into some sort of comfy coma where everything since the debate hasn’t looked completely and totally devastating to the Democratic establishment.
I thought one thing but I’m also receptive to being wrong given conflicting evidence. I understand this concept might be foreign (and thus scary) to you.
