(+) Yeah! (+)

Whatever you think about politics or the person, lets just take this space to be real with each other for a second:

...in this countries political climate, we're all a little surprised it took eight years for somebody to try, right? Now that you sit down and think about it?

Kinda. Im more surprised it doesnt even happen more considering the nature of unhinged people who do shootings period.

It really brings the number of insane people with free access to guns in this country back into tight focus

Apparently this guy was bullied consrantly in high school and had never been in trouble with the law until the bully in chief showed up.

If he wins, it will happen again, you can bet on it. People feel threatened enough and the economy sucks. He is only going to enact shit policies that is going to hurt people more and more to the point they feel life isn't worth living anymore. And when that happens, someone is going to want to take him down.

I am definitely surprised it took this long though. I just didn't expect it until after the election.

You could feel it coming, as much as you don't want it to happen and dont want to believe it can happen, t was bound to.

You've had a Republican party and their media arm demonizing anyone who is not in lockstep with them as dangerous and anti American for 20+ years turning the political discourse to unbelievably toxic levels.

Then you have Trump who has unabashedly behaved as a real life cartoon villain who is nakedly threatening American democracy.

It was only a matter of time before some unstable person tried something against Biden or Trump.

is your life easier than it was 5-6 years ago? Rent cheaper ? Insurance and groceries lower? What shit policies made it harder for you to live personally in 2017?

I'm sure someone has tried long before then, we just haven't heard about it. Most attempts get shutdown before they start.

Behold the mentality of the average Trump voter. Neo nazis marching in Charlottesville doesn't matter to him. The people dead from a pandemic Trump intentionally downplayed doesn't matter to him, the human rights lost because of Trump appointed judges doesn't matter to him, and the tyrannical plans Trump has in store for 2025 if he wins certainly doesn't matter.

No how much does your bank account have right now, that's the only question being asked here.

Rallies and whatnot are always high security events right? I'm sure there's thousands of people out there willing to try and kill any major politician if they are given the chance. The attempt the other day was a freak occurrence, there will never be another chance like that again.

I'm sure at every single rally, there are plenty of people probing and looking for security flaws to take advantage of. Trump has that many people who hate him. The possibility generally doesn't exist to begin with due to security.

What policies of Donnie and the GOP are going to fix any of that and how? Why has the GOP House not proposed any measures now and instead focuses on things like Hunter Biden and naming coastal areas after Donnie?

Even considering only the bank account question, my extended family who are farmers nearly lost their land and livelihood because of the tariff war bullshit.

Someone literally planned to go after Trump by flipping his limo with a forklift.

Dudes had so many security incidents they have their own Wiki page. Hes a real easy dude to hate.

i wonder how many assassinations have gone under the radar.

Since the economy seems to be a safe criticism for maga goons and Republicans at large, a reminder that 16 nobel winning economists agree that Trump policies would be devastating to the economy:
