Trump attempted assassination at Rally Today?! He was bleeding

[honorentheos]

That maps well onto what I see and hear among the right leaning folks in my circles. Not sure why so many people want to be so casual about larping revolutions but it seems like that's some folks bread and butter.

What's interesting to me about the gent today is his political views make an unusual Venn diagram if what is being reported is close to accurate. Voted for Trump in 2016 but disgruntled with him, COVID skeptic, pro-Ukraine but has shared support for Gabbard who is effectively in step with the Kremlin in decrying American interference in Europe or anywhere else abroad. She is the figurehead for the Joe Rogan/Cultellus crowd. But he has also supposedly posted comments favoring Harris and Biden at least against Trump.

Its a strange decision to attempt to shoot a former President and current candidate for office. With this second attempt I'm questioning if this is actually political violence we are seeing as motive? I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are suggesting but it makes sense to me as a strong possibility - we are seeing the results of main character syndrome folks who see firearms as the power equalizer and have easy access to said firearms, and with one person having gotten amazingly close perhaps it signaled others might take their shot at throwing thr world into chaos. If one is the main character whose to stop them? If there is one thing Tulsi Gabbard supporters seem to have in common it's the belief they are smarter and more aware of the world than most folks. I have to imagine there is a high correlation rate among them for seeing most folks as NPCs being manipulated by a system they are too smart to be taken in by. It probably doesn't take too many ego-hits to push that kind of person to feel they need to do something drastic to reassert their main character status.

He lacks the ability to foresee the consequences of his own actions. Start fires, you get fire.

There are a lot of things that work in society cause everyone just accepts it. Random main characters have an advantage for flying under the radar. Which works to their advantage over any foreign government/power. The secret service and local law enforcement messed up with the first shooter, but it was also a bit of an emperor is wearing no clothes moment to see how close the shooter got. It’s an interesting juxtaposition, the truth was that first guy was lucky, there were a couple of points that it almost wouldn’t have even made the news, and other points a small blip. But is Trump less safe today due to how much the Secret Service got raked over the coals in public? Would it be better for the Secret Service to have kept an image of being a bigger obstacle?

Isn’t there a video of the second would-be assassin in Ukraine volunteering to fight for Ukraine against Russia? Maybe we have people dying/killing to mean something in this world.

I wish people would stop trying to assassinate Trump.

All it does is give him very welcome publicity.

Well, the world is made of a complicated set of forces and as I've said before, there are certainly Trump supporters who fit the online stereotype in every way, but I don't know any those. I think my point about this guy is turn off one factor -- what if the populism that led to Trump was still anti-immigration and the whole list, but didn't have a gun culture typified by dumb asses parading around wearing American flags and carrying rifles built to kill people and not for hunting? The RNC wasn't raffling off AR-15s?

As soon as you see how this guy dresses you know the main factor. He can support Harris now, even Putin supports Harris, right?

I'm no Trumpist, but I wish the Democrat Propaganda Machine would stop lying like hell and making up hoaxes.

It's not good for the country.

What 'hoax' are you talking about? Do you not think the person arrested was seriously contemplating an assassination attempt against Trump?

I am assuming, of course, that you are posting on the topic of this thread, and not about something else.

No no, not at all.

Learn the hoaxes, and how the Democrat Propaganda Machine has created them. (They're good at it.) And how Joe Biden lied like hell to win the presidency even though he knew damn well he was a lying whore, worse than any Mormon General Authority.

Pardon me, but I would like to hear your answer on one particular point.

I gather that you think that the recent assassination attempt against Trump was in fact organised by the Democratic Party, but was not actually intended to kill him - do I have that right?

If so, what on earth does the Democratic Party gain by this? I have the impression that each of the two attempts so far have attracted considerable sympathy and admiration from pro-Trump voters, and cemented their support for him even more firmly than it was before. Why would the Democratic Party want that to happen?
