Lot of tech workers in here who claim to deeply need political violence, while also being unable to leave their own home for a job or to pick up groceries.
Uninformed ad hominems sure are fun, aren’t they?
I wouldn’t know, but I guess I can take your word for it.
Thoughts and prayers.
Based and society-pilled
Rare Bernie L on this one. Let the fascist die in the most painful ways possible, he wants that for most Americans.
Politics is pretty violent, don’t let men in suits with honeyed words fool you.
Trump could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone… Hmmm, maybe playing with violent rhetoric wasn’t a good move for Trump.
It’s the brick throwers that get things done, not the peaceful protesters simulating homelessness.
both help each other:
If we are to learn from the successful movements of the past, we can see that all successful pressure has been the collusion of the peaceful and non-peaceful aspects of the movement, such that the peaceful party can lobby the state to concede, saying to them “now see? Wouldn’t you rather deal with me than them? Sit down and make some concessions to those suffering people.” Meanwhile, the non-peaceful protesters escalate the aggression of their actions such as to put a clock on the state.
Even though I disagree with Bernie on a lot, he is a class act. This is absolutely the correct response. It shows that he has moral integrity and stands by his principles
And that is why the defenders of Democracy, the Democratic National Committee, cannot EVER allow him to come even this close to becoming a candidate or any candidate.
I believe he lost fairly to Biden in 2020, but the DNC 100% screwed him in 2016 to favor Hillary.
I hope Trump dies from infection, sorry Bernie.
My first thought was that all his makeup and spray tans can’t be good at keeping infections away
Sadly, I doubt it.
This is going to be the first chapter in a book about several assassination attempts during his reign of terror, at least if it turns out the way I expect it to.
I hope there’s not too many attempts lol
Trump is not going to put himself in a position to be shot again, so if someone wants to try another time, they have to be able to get within a few feet of him or risk the black market to acquire other means of trying to achieve their goal.
I think there’ll be other attempts, but I don’t see it happening. It’s a shame all that McDonald’s hasn’t worked to seal up his arteries.
They’re going to ramp security way up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the left finally gets their way with gun bans as a result of this. Right before a fascist takeover.
It could happen.
Historically in the US assassination attempts are pretty much the only thing that moves the needle on gun control.
It would stop being “gun control” and start being “disarming the opposition” – i.e., the precursor to a purge.
It could happen, but in this country, I doubt it. If it happens in this country it will be like getting an abortion or voting: put up too many arbitrary, inconvenient hurdles and people just won’t exercise the right to begin with.
We’re been over this: yes, it can happen here.
Oh I believe it.
But when our people couldn’t stay at home in total comfort for three weeks without clamoring for a hair cut, you’ve got to count me a little skeptical that they’ll have the patience for war after they encounter their first empty grocery store, not to mention the thousands of missile-equipped drones that their AR-15’s are insufficient to destroy.
Germans at least had an understanding of war. Americans do not, and that is why it’s unlikely to happen here, at least that’s my thoughts on the matter.
I bet he will be boxed bulletproof glass, just like he was in his January 6th speech from here on out.
Him dying from a shot to the ear or heart palpitations after the adrenaline would be peak humor, and a better outcome than if he was shot in the head.
Welp, maybe the DNC will let him be president yet in 10 years for spewing nonsense like this. Billionaires running a country IS political violence, even Biden is letting corporations price gouge us and Israel commit genocide
What a fucking joke.
People love to talk big, but when someone actually takes action against a self declared actively power seeking fascist (I’m not entirely convinced anyone was actually shot today, or that it wasn’t a hired sniper doing exactly what they were paid to do - miss), they run back to authority with their tail tucked firmly between their legs.
Fuck this bullshit.
Political violence has actively and continuously been enacted by white supremacist patriarchal capitalists against the working class and marginalised people for centuries. Fighting back isn’t what’s unacceptable.
Lets say he was shot, the only problem anyone claiming to be an antifascist should have with it, is that the shooter missed.
When people tell you who they are, no matter how “lovable”, you better listen.
Yep, always been a Bernie fan so it’s hurts to say this but
Bernie is an absolute pussy with this take
Bernie is a politician, and obviously has to give the politically correct response. He doesn’t exactly have much choice.
“senator sanders, do you have a comment on the recent assassination attempt on former president trump?”
Taps mic"no comment"
Saying nothing can be the most powerful thing one can say.
Aight fess up
Who of you was it?
We didn’t light the powder
It was always burning since Trump started turning
pussy
Melanie crying rn, and not out of happiness.
Why be nice to him? He was never nice to anyone he didn’t want money from or to have sex with in his entire life
Above all, I think it’s about we shouldn’t normalize that our politicians should be shot when we don’t agree with them.
How about normalizing solutions outside a corrupt and ineffective justice system? When the provably, convicted, guilty walk free no matter how dangerous they are, what options are left to us?
He’s not even nice to those people.
