It's very sad to see people condoning this. I'm far from a Trump supporter, but this is unacceptable. If this was Biden being shot at, you'd all be saying "typical right wing, gun-toting nutjobs."

Plus what you fail to understand is that Trump being shot at is just further securing his presidency, and anyone who was previously on the fence will now be more inclined to vote for the person who was "shot at for his beliefs."

I have to say without condoning it, his hate speeches have brought him hate. I'm honestly surprised this is the first attempt.

It's interesting times to hear of an assassination attempt and no one I've talked to Republican or Democrat is shocked. It just fits Trumps style of politics.

Thats idiotic. For one thing, ill disavow stochastic terrorism as soon as the right does for anybody not on their side. Certainly I dont support it, but are you really gonna claim you think itd be bad if this stuff happened more often targeting conservatives? I dont give a shit that trump got shot at except to be happy that it happened, and the rest of america isnt that dumb either.

Of course its unacceptable, but its literally the definition of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". Assassination attempts come with the territory of being a fascist, this event is exactly the same as a lion eating a gazelle. Im happy that nature is taking its course as intended, but im not gonna go around taking sides on the issue.
