You guys really don't get it.
There is no scenario where they won't blame this on everyone but themselves. It does not matter. Their end goal is violence. Full stop.
Fascists only relent when they are met with direct physical force. They will not move until they are afraid for their lives.
Hard disagree. He’s not afraid for his life. Far from it. Notice how exposed he left himself yesterday during his parade and that was all after his so called ‘assassination attempt’ where his ear magically mended within hours
He will double down where he can. The only thing that is stopping him going full swing is the federal arm right now.
Mark Esper book A Sacred Oath. He’s baiting the dems hard so he can get what he wants and that’s a free ticket to kill dems on sight. If it makes him look a victim that only makes him look lis a martyr to his MAGA crew which will only make them think it’s justified violence.
Don’t justify it.
This is a really dumb notion that still keeps popping up. There wasn't a staged attempt, and the best reason is simply that there's no way to fire a fake bullet or intentionally miss with a real one that wouldn't put Donalds life in danger. And Donald cares about his own life more than anything else. It's a stupid idea and just because it was kinda weird doesn't mean it's a conspiracy.
Yes, he values his life more than anything. That’s the point. If he actually were a surviving victim of a targetted attack he’d never not be behind bulletproof glass. If he actually thought his life was ever in danger.
so far as he’s become president he’s put himself out there in full view for a sniper. Including driving around race track. And stand up in various places out in public.
You are making a lot of assumptions that a bullet existed at all. Or a gun.
An ear doesn't heal in a matter of hours. Which is the biggest problem with that entire story.
the guy cannot resist making a drama no matter how poorly staged it is.
