    Bull shit. There is no fucking way it was trumps plan to be shot at. He really didn’t need to stage an assassination attempt just to drum up votes, because HE WAS WINNING. This is q anon levels of dumb

        It’s even worse if you suggest that it was a republican conspiracy attempting a false flag assassination attempt to boost ratings. An attempt mind you that was an inch from being a successful, and probably would have lead to a Democratic win with a presidency given a gun and the right to use it next cycle. Again Qanon would and had said such things in the past, and the rest of us called them crazy.

        And the instant, “he’s not one of US!, only republicans would think of doing something like that” Is kinda desperate.

          Well, I’m not saying it as a democrat for one thing. I’m much further left. Which you didn’t say, but I’m sure someone would have eventually, so I’m adding it in.

          I’m saying it because the whole thing smells like last month’s fish. The shot itself, the way it was taken, the convenient killing of the shooter, the timing, it all just makes me doubt this being a genuine attempt on his life. If that’s the case, the only conclusion I can draw is that it was an attempt by someone to raise the rabble to cement his worshippers anger.

          I could be wrong. I’m not saying this as some kind of statement of unchallengable fact. It’s just my gut screaming that there’s something hinky going on.

            The evidence wholly does not back your case!

            If trump was shot in the head, would you still say that it was an op to make the president more popular in the polls he was already leading? But opsie-doodle the marksman failed to correct for the wind that suddenly changed the trajectory by an inch and killed him damning our bid to consolidate power!

            Shooting an active shooter to death is the most consistent result of an active shooting. If they wanted to do a false flag assassination, one, their political affiliation would have been established, and, this is critical, WOULD NOT HAVE SHOT ANYWHERE NEAR TRUMPS FUCKING HEAD.

              If it was a false flag, the shooter would’ve been a Biden-supporting Democrat who was also a member of antifa and a trans catgirl.

      Who said Trump would need to be involved or even aware of such a conspiracy?

      Again, not saying I believe this.

        Conspiracy theories are always like this. “I’m not saying that it actually happened this way…but what if it did?!?”

        I don’t know…what if monkeys flew out of my butt?

          Totally. Because nothing can ever actually be a conspiracy. As we all know, those don’t actually ever exist in real life, right?

          The involvement of the US in the civil war that was ongoing in Vietnam began after a false flag attack. A literal conspiracy. And it led to how many dead American soldiers?

          But everyone knows Jimmy Carter eliminated all conspiracies from existence (it would later inspire his work eradicating deadly diseases in Africa) in 1978.

              Oh? Then tell me, what’s your actual argument? What was the intended implication of the comment you made? Truly curious.

                You asked a question about a conspiracy theory, and then followed it up with a disclaimer that you don’t necessarily believe in the conspiracy theory. I pointed out that this is typical conspiracy theorist behavior.

                  Yes and the implication was clear. What you said in the context of the thread was clearly meant to be dismissive. The obvious implication was that anyone who mentions a conspiracy theory is a kook. I’m just taking the logic one step further. It follows from that, that none of the theories ever turn out to be real. Because only idiots ever believe them.

                  Don’t patronize me. We both know what you meant.
