    I had just opened my Max app for some Saturday night distraction when I saw CNN Newsroom suggested front and center, with the description “…the rally where President Trump was injured.”

    This is terrifying on so many levels. At this point, it doesn’t matter who wins the election; the stage is completely set for violence come November.

    I haven’t found any active comment threads on this yet, and I don’t even want to entertain the inevitable conspiracy theories and possible acts of retribution that will rise after this attempt, so I’ll leave it at this: I would be utterly shocked if “Donnie Van Gogh” memes don’t exist yet.

    someone was killed and we still don’t know who. I sorta feel bad for whoever it was. If they had been randomly shot it would be about them but now they are just a side note.

      :shrug

      They were at a Trump rally. Do you really feel that bad? Right now there are probably a few people who are kinda happy they don’t have to deal with this person anymore.

          🤷‍♂️ it wasn’t like he was good at paying child support anyhow. They won’t notice for months that he is gone.

          The person you should really feel bad for is the tow truck driver who will have to haul his F250 away

    Fuck Trump and I genuinely hope he doesn’t live long but assassination is obscene. First, it’s just abhorrent. Second, you’ll make him a fuckin martyr.

      If you were directly impacted by the rampant transphobia, racism, sexism, etc. present in many red states and in his supporters’ rhetoric, you would probably have less sympathy for him and others of his ilk. People like him use the state to kill people or ruin their lives.
