What this will absolutely do is give Trump an even bigger ego boost and I can almost guarantee his retribution rhetoric will be turned up to 11.

Undecided voters: We are unhappy about what things cost.

Trump: I am The Lord incarnate. An immortal being beyond your imaginings and my wrath will be swift and merciless.

Undecided voters: ....uh

And how do most people react to assassination attempts?

I guess he should withdrawal from the race and hide in his basement right?

Trump is a narcissist with an already inflated ego, in his mind he is now justified to “go after” his “enemies”.

Very true, but it's still not great when it escalates. We don't get a lot of dead presidents, and it should stay that way.

4 killed and I think another 4 injured. Plus a shit ton of attempts ranging from totally harebrained to how did they not succeed.

What? He didn't even offer his thoughts and prayers for Trump and his family after an assassination attempt?

He couldn't have been more callous if he tried.

Just more rambling and bloviating about stopping violence after preaching for months that Trump is an existential threat to Democracy.
I guess we should ignore what Trump says?

Well if I'm to follow the Republican methodology of handling things like this, I'm supposed to say something like "this is something we should all put aside until calmer heads prevail."

so ~7-12% depending on your measure of success.

I wonder how much the violent rhetoric contributes.

Even after all this time, this forum doesn't disappoint. The fine Progressheviks at still at it with using any means necessary.

If I’m wrong you can call me out on it. If I’m right, I’m guessing you’ll slither away and ignore it like you’ve done with everything else trump has done that normal people find abhorrent.

Keep calling for violence if you don't win, find violence coming at you.

Does he really think that his supporters are the ONLY ppl capable of violence?

Trump is an existential threat to democracy thanks to the whackjob rulings of his Supreme Court picks.
