Glad your happy... You going to be happy when his base rallies now, too?
I love how left leaning all of lemmy is... But the comments encouraging the violence or disappointment in the fact the shooter "missed", seems off.
Unfortunately for the civilized world, fascism often only dies at the end of a gun.
All emotions, big on rhetoric, not so good on repurcussions & consequences for actions.
However. I don't see much really coming from this, just a galvanized Trump base. Maybe some switcjes in the middle. And I wouldn't be shocked if there's a false flag, "Oooo, LOOK, now we've found a conservative that wants to kill Biden! Both sides!"
....except nobody's dumb enough to assassinate a senile lame duck. And everybody knows, nobody wants Kamala as POTUS. 🙄
ftfy.
Tell me any time in history where fascism has just said "You know what? You're right. The votes say it all, we're just gonna knock it off now..."
Violence has always been the thing that gets response. Without it, your begging and pleading is toothless. You'll continue to get stomped on, you'll continue to have your rights stripped away. You'll continue to roll backwards in history until someone else says "You know what, this has gone too far..." and...uses violence to put an end to it.
You know why the pen is mightier than the sword? Because the pen can rally millions of swords in its place.
