    Since it was a Conservative Republican who shot at him. Would they be retaliating against other republicans?

    Or (more likely) would they be like the drunk idiots at the bar who just start swinging at anything that moves in their stupidity and anger?

        Since a conservative shot Trump, it is our duty as liberals to nick Biden so that it’s fair.

      Maybe some of the craziest, who believed in the most craziest stuff, and thus will feel the most wrong-doed/betrayed, starts to understand it was just lies?

      Can we say conclusively the shooter was a conservative Republican? I know they were registered to the party but they also donated to Democratic campaigns. I think ascribing any kind of political affiliation or motivation to him is premature

    You mean to tell me that the ex-president who has consistently dog whistled for violence, terrorism and general fascism in every other breath is…

    …gasp…

    Facing those same ideologies himself?!? The same guy who instigated an INSURRECTION ON THE FUCKING CAPITAL??? No way bro this has got to be fake news, how could we possibly have come to this conclusion?!

    ---

    And the left are the ones who “eat themselves.”

    What an utter fucking joke the Conservative Party is, honest to god

        Yes, it’s called the Democratic party.

        The Republican party is whatever you call an insane wannabe fascist theocracy.

        Yep, different from others around the world however.

        Think “I want archaic things to re-become the status quo, we hate gays, women’s rights, etc”

        Basically the opposite of being progressive or modern with your ideologies

    I often wonder what kind of violence there will be if Trump loses in November. Then I wonder what kind of violence there will be, further down the line, if he wins.

      Honestly if Trump loses I expect maybe a Jan 6 level event but no broad violence from his army of couch potatoes. And Jan 6 level event is less likely just given that now the govt should be better prepared for it…

    Agencies are probably watching the rightwing nutcases making plans, like how they knew Russia was going to invade shortly before it happened.

      The trans furry communists of Lemmy hacked the heritage foundation just days before the attempt on Trump’s life. While they would love to investigate both at the same time, they don’t have the man power.

      The agencies have no choice but to investigate in the order the crimes happen. So right wingers, your follow up acts of terrorism should be investigated some time in the first quarter of twenty-twenty-never.

    Yes, I trust the group of clowns who allowed the first attack to happen…

    These limp dick cucks are delusional.
