It's just push back. The GOP and the board in general are pushing the idea that some radical democrat tried to kill him. Well...it's not looking that way is it?
Trump is easily the most polarizing Presidential candidate in modern history.
You guys keep saying this. Registration doesn't equal ideals. Heck, as I've already posted 2x, his parents were registered as a Democrat and Libertarian. That does NOT mean they are either of those. Heck, I'm an Independent, but I bet I'm still registered as a Republican...can't recall if I ever actually took the time to change it.
This place is so darn nutzo! It's no different than any mass shooter or crazy loon who drives through a parade. First question isn't, "Is everyone okay!" Nope. It's, "Who did the person vote for" in an attempt to tie them as a representative of an entire group of people.
Donald Trump has contributed to Democratic Party causes in the past. Before his political career as a Republican, Trump had a history of donating to various Democratic candidates and causes.
But, but, but...that's different!
I'm of the opinion some radical (or clearly radicalized) 20 year old tried to kill him and the FBI is struggling to figure out why. Reminds me of the Vegas shooter. I don't recall us ever finding out why.
My guess is an isolated loner. That lost touch with reality. Maybe he just read Catcher in the Rye.
Which would be fine, if half the GOP wasn't polishing it's guns and looking hard at anyone who voted dem right about now.
Well, I can't personally fix stupid. All I can say is, as a moderately conservative independent, those aint my peeps.
People snap. Similar to school shooters. He was in pain and wanted to inflict as much pain as possible on others. Killing a celebrity that is beloved by millions certainly fits a motive. Especially in a gruesome fashion live on TV.
I miss the days when they were.
Again...you're gonna ruin the narrative.
True, but he was only 20 so it's more likely his views hadn't changed that much in 2 years.
Facts haven't mattered to them for a REALLY long time. They are in their own reality and nothing can crack it.
I'm aware, I was talking with family yesterday and my aunt was insisting that Trump wasn't a slimeball. All those ladies were lying. And lots of powerful men cheat on their third wife...with a porn star.
If you go around in life with people saying you’re worthless. Get rejected by your interests. Constantly get bullied. Then add in the Incel thing. That’s an awfully painful existence. Especially for someone without experience or wisdom.
I hear ya, I'm over giving these 20 year olds a pass to kill people because they have zero ability to function in society and seem to want to blame everything on high school.
Hear you. But the only thing we can do is hold the parents accountable post incident. Unfortunately the damage is already done. See Columbine or most recently the Michigan couple that gave their mentally ill son a 9 mm instead of a puppy.
I know I am the worst teacher on the planet according to Republicans here but I swear I try to point this stuff out to kids. My best one, when I see it is when one student raises his voice at or criticizes the "target kid". I ask why he never yells at (name of class alpha) when they make a mistake. Why do they feel like it's okay to yell at target kid when they wouldn't dare yell at alpha? It makes them stop and think.
For the health of our country we will all be better when he dies. I prefer not to see his brains splattered everywhere from an assassination. But when he does eventually go a lot of this tension will go with him.
We, as a society, need to start looking at people through the lens of "what happened to them" rather than "what's wrong with them" or "why did they do that", etc.
Hard pass.
Not sure how that translates to expectations and shit is easy. Life IS hard, no need to be an ass about it, though. We're quick to judge a person's entire existence by potentially their worst moment. Society doesn't offer much grace, but heaping piles of judgement and ridicule; half the time stemming from one's own trauma and/or insecurities. Nowhere did Christ say, "suck it up, buttercup."
So what did you mean when you said the shooter should have bought better bullets?
