Oh Trump will absolutely bring them up at every single rally to froth up the crowd. Because he may be the martyr they care about the most, but the martyrs who actually died will be great ammunition (I can't think of a more appropriate word, sorry) to rile up the crowd.
That is assuming there is another rally, and today's incident wasn't just the catalyst for a Jan 6 sequel. Knowing his supporters, I'm not holding my breath, unfortunately.
Considering the number of people here claiming this was Trump staging a false flag, I am absolutely certain there are a similarly large number of people on the right saying this was Biden trying to assassinate Trump and something must be done. So I hope not.
Thats fine, isn't Biden permitted to assassinate people while in office with immunity?
Prosecuting the president for stochastic terrorism? That's a precedent they really don't want to set with Trump as their candidate.
That they are pushing it is evidence they don't think they'll have to follow the rule of law if they win.
They won't. The Supreme Court already determined that.
All I'm hearing is that they think Biden told the truth and used the power the Heritage Foundation SCOTUS explicitly gave him, and now they're inexplicably butthurt about it.
Unfortunately, the number is likely going to be a lot higher.
I'm pretty sure a lot of the people here are (or at least me) are being joking/sarcastic about the false flag conspiracy. For us Lemmings, there's no emotional stake in these events, whereas his supporters will be angered over anyone even attempting to kill their fascist idol...
I'm not sure of that at all, especially when emotions are running high.
I'm not absolutely discounting the possibility they they somehow found some schlub to die in a fake assassination attempt, but I'm also not going to come up with conspiracy theories until there's been some time to go over evidence and analyze the situation.
Respect for that. It's a reasonable and rational response to today's series of events, despite the temptations of role-playing as a conspiracy theorist to escape from having to think about the hypothetical consequences of said events.
Fascists love their "martyrs for the cause".
