I don't think you realise what a fascist authoritarian is my lad.

It's a bit hyperbolic in this context, yet also technically accurate in a surprising number of ways, though mostly I was focusing on how he won't allow an election to determine who gets to be the Democratic nominee. Also, he has the legal ability to murder his opponents, and is both supporting (in Gaza) even while also decrying (in Ukraine) genocide. Anyway, the point is that he is suppressing opposition (from within his own party, by not allowing a debate about who may replace him), which yes he has the legal ability to do, fwiw. So he is not much of one perhaps, but has some characteristics not entirely dissimilar to one.

yeah those observations are fair. Regardless now I'm afraid Trump has sealed his win with this shooting. His voters are going to be mobilised like never before for the election

Hrm, so he wasn't seriously injured, and the outcome ends in his favor, hrm... I see.

And Biden's administration ends up looking weaker than ever before, for allowing it to happen. I hate politics.:-(
