Why didn't SS immediately escort him off the platform? They all just kinda stood there like oh wow close call. even the video of Bush getting a shoe thrown at him seemed more dramatic. They piled onto him immediately after the bullets fired and stood him up after they confirmed the threat was neutralized literally, people are screaming, there's blood on his face, and the swat is on stage with almost 10 secret service agents. How much more drama do you want? Two people didn't die at bush's press conference. And that was before our political discourse fell into the gutter

I meant after they stood him up and the threat was neutralized. Just seemed like they would have rushed him off quicker than they did. And I wasn't downplaying casualties at all.
americanlife Posted July 14 Posted July 14 The RNC is gonna have double the ratings now. This only helps Trump, it makes him look stronger and our current leadership look weaker.

I will drag Biden and Blue MAGA to the pits of hell to normalize *my* political goals, but I am not going to sit by and let you, literally Red MAGA, try and drag him to normalize *your* views. Project 2025 is the GOP manifesto. Project 2025 is the GOP policy platform. The Heritage Foundation is the think-tank of Reagan. Here is Trump's soon-to-be-VP advocating his support for Project 2025: Edited July 14 by Communion 4 1 1

loveisdead9582 Posted July 14 Posted July 14 I don't wish violence against anyone and RIP to the victims. I don't like trump but I don't believe this is the solution. I suppose it'd be too much to hope that he would bow out of the race out of concern for his own well being… do we even know who the VP is supposed to be if he wins?
Communion Posted July 14 Posted July 14 5 minutes ago, NausAllien said: but I don't think he's this Devil incarnate the Left Donald Trump literally wants to undo the ideological foundation of American identity and dissolve the concept of birthright citizenship. It has nothing to do with being a leftist. Anyone who is a proud American and takes pride in America being a country built by and for immigrants should reject this flagrant anti-Americanism from Trump and his Project 2025 manifesto. It won't shock me if the person who ends up having shot former Pres. Trump is not some antifa member or leftist or communist but some old white man and former military vet. I mean, who else would even have the tactical knowledge to do all of this to begin with? You think the furry anarchists in Antifa know how to use a damn sniper? While political violence is never good, it's clear that Trump's far-right political agenda has alienated the vast majority of the country to his left & caused instability. 1 1 1

Communion Posted July 14 Posted July 14 32 minutes ago, Virgos Groove said: @Communion Do you think there's any chance this could end up damaging Trump's campaign and benefiting the Dems somehow? You're clearly well-versed in US politics and always seem to have some optimism (or at least an idea of where the Left should aim) to these kinds of issues, so I'm curious to hear your perspective. I don't think this would move the needle in any significant way, given political violence occurred in 2016 and 2020, as well. The main way this negatively impacts Dem is the way it'll suck the air out of the room and dominate the news cycle just as conversations to dump Biden seemed to be materializing. Biden is probably going to use such to his advantage and stick in the race, having weaknesses of his own completely unrelated to this. 2

NausAllien Posted July 14 Posted July 14 @Communion sis, you're trying SO HARD to push this Project 2025 thing. How far has all this fearmongering got you? Let's see... Welp! It seems I'm not the only one who's not buying that smelly sh1t you're selling. Clearly most people don't take that 2025 thing seriously because Trump wouldn't be destroying Biden in all polls and most battleground states if anyone thought he's going to do what that Think Tank stated. I still remember all the fearmongering in 2016 and none of that came to pass. What did he ACTUALLY do while in office? Tax cut for the rich. You're free to criticize that. You know, things that he's actually done. Heck, he didn't even build the damn wall. He's LAZY. He's not going to waste his time fulfilling the wet dreams of some conservative Think Tank. BTW, all the berating and ad-hominem attacks reveal the weakness of your arguements. 22
Antonini Posted July 14 Posted July 14 We need Gretchen at the top of the ticket! Let's not forget she was also a target of political violence https://www.reuters.com/article/world/militia-members-others-charged-in-plot-to-kidnap-michigan-governor-she-says-tr-idUSKBN26T2ZE/ would Joe or Kamala want to run against trump now anyway now that they know they'll lose AND can't come for him without getting accused of promoting violence?

I can tell you aren't especially well versed in the current discourse in US politics because the legitimate concerns around Project 2025 have been one of the two conversation points raised by the people with brains in the Democratic Party (the other obviously being Biden's mental state) in the past month. Trump has successfully burned down every democratic institution and guard rail he's been able to get his hands on, has purged the rank and file Republican bureaucracy (and has been very successful with primary-ing dissident elected Republicans), and has essentially hijacked the Supreme Court. Project 2025 was written by former Trump staffers (who are expected to be hired back into his future administration), so while there is a degree of legal separation, it's thin Now, as for why people don't care, most Americans are just trying to get by and aren't checked in, and of those that are, most on the right made peace with it's top-line issues a long time ago, or more likely, actively support them (abortion, citizenship, climate, immigration etc). That "never Trump" dissident right cohort is no longer a politically relevant force, and obviously everyone to the left of Mitt Romney is appalled by the concept. Edited July 14 by wastedpotential 7
