Jason Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Quote Rather than verbally attacking Trump in the coming days, the White House and the Biden campaign will draw on the president's history of condemning all sorts of political violence including his sharp criticism of the "disorder" created by campus protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict, campaign officials said on condition of anonymity. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-democrats-scramble-after-trump-rally-shooting-upends-campaign-2024-07-14/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Taking the "high road" in regard to attacks aimed directly at Trump at least temporarily is all very well and good, but that sure as hell doesn't mean that continuing to pound the Project 2025 drum should be off the table. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It also just doesn’t matter if Biden talks about project 25 or not as far as the far right reaction. There is absolutely zero indication of any involvement of left wing rhetoric causing this incident which honestly looks like it’s just going to be your typical messed up white kid mass shooting sort of thing. But due to a combination of brain worms and just willfully believing what they want to they are going to respond with violent threats regardless as they already have. I don’t think not talking about project 25 lowers the temperature and it would be political malpractice. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSpreader Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 This is the same thing they've been saying for years. I'm sure there will be violence as there has been, and I expect them to cry foul every time someone punches them back in their mouth. This situation is their creation, they are eating themselves and playing victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5timechamp Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 well since the shooter disappointed the GOP by not being gay, trans, minority or leftist it seems the affiliation is not an issue.. it is these desperate times that Biden created that drove someone to lash out.. the focus is now on the Secret Service and their “deliberate” unwillingness to protect Trump.. already there is a post from the “sniper” who shot Crooks claiming he had him in his sights but was not allowed to engage the shooter… Again, dialing down the talk about Trump and the GOP is not answer, for us the assassination attempt is a horrible event.. for the GOP is just another “shame it wasnt the left, that could have been very useful” moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioandsonic Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It's sounding less like the gunman was politically motivated, and more like he was a complete nutjob. Almost as if certain people like him shouldn't have easy access to guns. But hey, it's too early to politicize a shooting amirite? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 2 hours ago, Best said: This is what everyone was afraid of. Jfc. You see it everywhere with many right wingers. They have a real and very deep seated desire for violence. They want bloodshed. Not all of them of course, but I guarantee you that there are literally thousands and thousands of people in this country that would be thrilled if they had a chance to go and commit acts of violence. Fox News allows these people to call for the mass extermination of their opponents in incredibly thinly veiled very mildly coded language. These people live amongst us and have one hand on their trigger just waiting. Eager with anticipation to start the bloodshed. I know these people, I know several of them and they frighten me. Legit, they frighten me. And the ones I know are relatively normal people. Imagine the truly unhinged ones. They are out there. There are lots and lots of them out there… waiting… If I was a betting man I would say that were due for many more incidents of violence in this election cycle. America is an angry violent country full of violent angry people (with assault rifles) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality that the world doesn't need losers like them is hard for them to cope with, so their solution is violence because they're a bunch of simpletons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 It really is staggering just how much of a total failure this incident seems to be from a secret service perspective. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but this entire thing is like a bucket of bloody meat being thrown into a tank full of hungry sharks. Everything about it just weird, and for these fact adjacent shit brained loser crowd, this entire event is way way way too easy to just project whatever version of reality you want on top of it… it’s going to cause years and years of fallout. No amount of facts will ever convince someone who doesn’t want to accept them to accept them. We live in a post fact world. All that matters now is vibes. And the vibes fucking suck. I keep thinking about how shockingly close we were to seeing Donald Trumps head blown to pieces on live tv and I’m still not sure how to think about that. It’s funny, because as someone who is known for posting angry rants online, my real life persona is the exact opposite and honestly the last thing in the world I ever want to see is shit like this. Trump needs to live long enough to die broken and defeated and discredited and shamed into oblivion as a miserable old man. Not like this. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
