Against who? 24 year old registered Republicans who were never taught how to cope with the harsh reality of life?
Republicans don't seem to believe that it was "one of them" who did it. They're blaming literally everybody else
They have always been that meme of the kid shoving a stick into his bike and flipping over the bars
And you're surprised about this?
They've been doing this forever.
Cuts taxes for rich, raises taxes on working class.
Gets voted out.
"Look at what anyone else but me did, vote me back in"
And you're surprised about this?
At no point was I surprised by any of this
Yet, somehow, they always seem to wriggle their way back in 🤔
Looking forward to seeing what they'll say about the cache full of guns they found in the attempted assassin's house.
Well duh, they're liberal guns
Don't give them ideas. They'll start calling for gun control, but only for people on the left.
Random musing related to US gun control, but at least from this particular rando Finn's perspective the American mentality regarding guns is sometimes just really fucking puzzling. I mean yes I get the historical whoop-te-doo that led to things being how they are now and what the rationale is behind US gun culture & laws and so on, but even given the context it doesn't make sense to me. It also seems like lots of Americans agree that things are… well, not optimal right now and would want tighter controls, but by all appearances gun control is such a political minefield that it seems to be hard to get things fixed, and I've understood that eg. Republicans have a real tendency of being really pro control when it comes to restricting the ability of "unwanted" people to own guns. And then there's how the culture around guns plays into all this, of course.
They're blaming literally everybody else
It's the only song they know.
Retaliate against themselves?
Go for it.
The problem is his supporters are too stupid to know it was one of their own that attacked him and they instantly think it's an evil Democrat even when they're told differently because that's been the conservative propaganda rhetoric for 7 decades now.
Republicans are too brainwashed to realize the ones they're supporting are the evil ones.
They're not told differently. Alex Jones and Roger Stone have been pushing the AntIFa!!! boogeyman all over right wing media. They've been told that's the narrative and it won't matter what reality is, they will ignore it.
Like what, a Trump presidency?
I skimmed the article, but it looks like they don't have any specific threats in mind.
So uh no shit? The maga terrorists have been commiting violence since like 2015. Of course they are going to be energized when their king is attacked.
Well, they probably wouldn't publicize the threats they are aware of, because that makes it more likely that take more cover and keep it more secret. I'm not saying they do know of any, but not telling us they do doesn't mean anything.
Fair, I feel like they have said that before. Not specifics but "we have credible threats", which I don't think they did this time.
Wow the guys who keep committing violence might continue doing it. Great job FBI DHS morons.
By who? Against who? Themselves?
Retaliate against who???
More like, politically speaking, the bottle has been shaken. Others are far more likely to take action now.
Well, he does have one ear left.
So one of us attacked trumpet?
Lets kill Biden in revanche!
Makes total sense!
Technically on of them attacked Trump, so one of us has to attack Biden. Logic..
Don't start making sense now, you!
