Going for a kill shot on their God Emperor, and just nearly missing him but instead probably giving him the equivalent of a minor flesh wound, live on national television, is obviously going to provoke and embolden them more than anything before.

Was he supposedly hit in the ear? If so, how did nobody behind him get hit? Given the angle they would have had to shoot from to miss everyone else, it seems like they would have had to be down in the crowd below and it should be obvious who did it.

There are now multiple different videos/images of the shooter dead on a roof of a one story building outside of the crowd, of his body being retrieved, of a man saying he pointed the guy out to police before the shooter shot, and that counter sniper fire 'blew his head off'.

The shooting angle seems to be relatively flat, either grazing the top of his right ear or possibly taking a small chunk of it.

At least two people in the crowd behind Trump were hit, one is dead.

From Kyle Kulinsky's clip compilation on Youtube an off duty paramedic had his shirt covered in blood and described doing chest compressions on a man with a head wound including exposed gray matter.

Check his YT for the interview of the guy who saw the shooter on the roof as well.

Sadly I think there was a collateral death.

I'm seeing that the shooter was on a rooftop, not in the crowd. Kinda chaos right now so that info may change.

Yep. This won him the election.

Lol, you think democracy voters are now going to vote for the rapist with 34 felonies? This changes nothing. If he was dead or dropped out like he should and they got a competent human to run, then yeah, I think you could see a red president. None of that is happening though so President Biden will continue to be President.

Uh... Yes?

They don't care. They only care about voting along party lines.

Literally every single Republican that I know even the left leaning ones and even the ones who are going to be immediately and purposefully harmed by a Trump administration are still voting for Trump.

It's insane.

democracy voters aren't republikklowns

The right has been very demotivated and nowhere near as enthusiastic as they were in 2016 - 2020. I fully expected a low turn out for conservatives this November.

This is incredible juice in their veins. They were gleefull watching Biden humiliate himself before the entire planet, but this will be in another level. Enough of them may turn out that Trump will be the first republican president to win the popular vote in two decades.

Whaaaaat? Win popular vote? That's hilarious, what flavor was the kool aid?

Elections are always won or lost as a result of the support or lack thereof of the idiots who can't figure out which candidate to vote for. Precisely the kind of idiot who will swallow Trump's "persecuted hero of the people" narrative hook, line, and sinker.

Nobody is falling for that bullshit that isn't already a proud member of cult45.
