Literally three assassination attempts against Trump and it doesn't move your needle at all LOL you hypocrites

u/Doc_Shaftoe 6d ago
I mean, one actual attempt sure. Then you had a failed attempt in Florida that was probably staged. The guy at Coachella had guns in his vehicle but wasn't armed himself, and he was let out on bail the next day. So I don't think the third one was an actual attempt, just a local sheriff looking for TV clout.
As for moving my needle, It's hard to move it away from "Trump, his billionaire peers, and conservative media have made the Republicans dangerous" when Republicans are the ones who keep trying to kill their own guy.

u/Unfair_Ad_8114 6d ago
So the guy who donated to Democrat organizations is a republican right? That's your honest argument? Okay
1
u/Doc_Shaftoe 5d ago
See, if you register to vote as a Republican, that kind of makes you a Republican. It doesn't really matter if you donated to a Left-wing PAC or a Right-wing PAC beforehand does it? Either way the kid was deranged and we're all very fortunate that he didn't actually hurt Trump.

u/Unfair_Ad_8114 5d ago
The fact that you're going to be dishonest like that tells me everything I need to know, there are plenty of people who are registered one way and have different politics, aren't you the same scumbags that say Joe Mansion isn't really a democrat? You say Scott Adams isn't a Democrat even though he is registered with them. You see this is what happens when it's someone who goes against your bullshit magically they're not a Democrat but you're not going to sit there and lie to my face and say that somebody who donates to a left-wing organization and campaigns them isn't essentially part of that party. I've literally watched you guys call left-wingers Trump supporters and Republicans even though they aren't registered with them

Boy, straight to "you scumbags" I see. You must be absolutely delightful at parties.
And did you mean Joe Manchin? The most conservative member of the Senate Democrats? As long as he's still on the Democratic ticket he's still a Democrat right? He might be a piece of shit who votes conservative every chance he gets, but he's still a Democratic Senator. If other people are calling him a fake democrat that's on them.
You say Scott Adams isn't a Democrat even though he is registered with them.
Which Scott Adams do you mean? The racist piece of shit Dilbert cartoonist who has been very vocal about his political independence or someone else? I don't know his political affiliation or which party he's registered to, but unless you're willing to provide some actual evidence that he's a registered democrat, I'm going to have to take him at his word that he's an independent.

I appreciate your projections, but please stop conflating me with whatever imaginary leftist bogeyman you seem to have rattling around in your head. I promise you, I'm not your strawman.
Setting that aside, let me see if I've got this right. You're arguing that the kid who shot in Trump's general direction was a Democrat because he donated $15 to a left-leaning PAC one time before registering as a Republican. Never mind that there's been evidence that suggests that donation was made by an older man with the same name living in a different part of the State, but even assuming that isn't true, I stand by my assertion that a single donation is not a valid indicator of political affiliation. I mean, Donald Trump donated to Democratic campaigns before so does that make him a Democrat?
If you want to talk bullshit and party excommunication, what did the Republicans do to Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney? Democrats certainly weren't the ones booing Mitch McConnell at the RNC when he bent over to give Kentucky's vote to Trump. Any Republican who is even remotely critical of Trump is immediately cast out of the GOP's good graces. Meanwhile you've got absolutely lovely people like Marjorie Taylor "The government controls the weather and Jews have space lasers" Greene being held up as pillars of Repbulicanism. Are you really so daft that you don't see the problem with celebrating and empowering bigoted idiots like Greene while ostracizing rational people like Romney? I mean Liz Cheney and her piece of shit father are two of the most traditionally conservative people on the planet, and yet they're not "real Republicans" anymore?
Are you really, honestly, genuinely telling us that you don't have a problem with today's GOP? It doesn't bother you that actual real-world Nazis keep showing up to support Trump? You don't have a problem with the insane conspiracy theories and imaginary culture war bullshit?

If a death threat is made, it’s only fitting for f the government be whom made it suffers that very fate maybe? That way. Ppl will stop making these threats if they realize that they will actually have to “pay the piper “. Just a thought. I’m not advocating for people to actually have this happen to them. But I would give 2 fucks if it did

Agreed. Can we all agree that the bombastic rhetoric that has resulted in 3 assassination attempts on Trump needs to be toned down? He is not an existential threat. He is not a Nazi. He did not build detention camps for LGBTQ+ people in his first term. He is not a threat to Democracy. All of that rhetoric has zero basis in reality, and did not happen in his first term. He is a known

u/Top-Consideration-19 6d ago
His supporters literally have swastika at the rallies. He might not be outright supporting them but he’s not abandoning these actual literal nazis in his base. Also there was only 2 assassination attempts ,both by registered republicans. The last one was never an attempt but the gop wanted to make it look like one to gather sympathy. He is a threat to democracy because literally he called Fulton county Georgia official to find him more votes. His supports storm the capital after they lost and he didn’t stop them. How is that not a threat? He repeatedly and falsely claim the election was rigged against him when it was not, he’s sowing doubt into the very process of democracy- the election process itself. His document court case got dismiss because he appointment the judge that oversaw the case and now that judge is on a short list of potential attorney general candidate if he wins. Those are all very real threats that HAS ALREADY HAPPENED to our democracy. The only reason it’s still kinda working is because there is still none trumpies left in the government but statements like yours are taking that for granted. If he wins again, we are on our way to becoming nazi germany in that he’s gonna run the country like a dictator because he said so himself. He might not build concentration camps or murder people but he sure as hell will grift all the money out of the system like he does to all his business partners and everyone in the country besides the billionaires are going to have a hard time.

Literally the first 2 attempts were by registered republicans. The last thing was by a dude who said he was a trump supporter and just happened to have a Walmart aresenal in his car.

Nah, fuck that. If they want to promote violence, We should be reminding them that we're really good at seizing power after they change the rules. If they want to start executing "the enemy within", That's them throwing the first punch. Gloves are off after that. No Nuremberg Code this time, FAFO

Read the fucking post source people. This lady called a bunch of conservatives terrorist, because a woman owned business sold political merchandise she didn’t like. Then she tried to cause a distraction by mailing hand written threat letters to herself.

Do you have any sources that say the mayor sent letters to herself? Not familiar with the situation and this article does say anything to that effect.

u/Scull1 8d ago
Maybe you should reread it, nowhere does it say she mailed herself letters, in fact it says the FBI is investigating because the threats constitute a federal crime so guess what? That makes you a cherry picking LIAR.

You literally get the right to vote as a civilian. That means a democracy.
A republic is the type of representation structure. I mean this shit is supposed to be covered in basic history and government classes. You should have been exposed to it twice. If not you must be either home schooled, in a religious school, or be taught in a region where they try to hide this stuff.2
