This sucks

[Pototan]

Just when we dominated the narrative and established political momentum, some asshole with a gun changes it.

Trump and Trumpism cannot be defeated through violence. The attempts on Trump's life are not only morally wrong but undemocratic and politically counterproductive. We need to beat Trump and his allies through an overwhelming Democratic victory at the ballot box.

1. As far as I'm concerned, this is another nut with easy access to weapons

I don’t believe these acts are in any way connected to the Democratic Party or rhetoric so there’s no need for these kinds of statements.

[Pototan]

2. I know it's not connected to us

I'm just lamenting that it happens at all.

I'm sorry if I left the impression that Dems are responsible for these events in any way.

3. Sort of normalizing assassination...

...the rw is all looking to blame Dems. SOP.

4. That cretin becoming a martyr would be a catastrophe.

6. If Trump gets taken out

The violence that would occur would be heartbreaking.
It would be the wild west.

[calimary]

8. Yes, it would.

5. The electorate as a whole shrugged last time and they certainly aren't going to care this time around.

10. We'll see but you could be right

We were watching a really good football game and I knew there wouldn’t be much solid info immediately so we stayed on the game. KC beat Cincy on a last second FG.

7. The shooting is a result of the right wing Republican gun nut culture

we already support gun control.

9. Sadly, I don't even know what they're going to charge him with?

He wasn't in a restricted area...
He probably legally had a right to that gun
He didn't fire the gun...

Sure they will charge him with something, but it isn't gonna be much.
