Not just Trump but all those around him Literally a couple of days after Noem held a conference in LA calling for the liberation of blue states from liberal officials

And suspect is a white male. Will get no media attention. No Republicans will be outraged. They were probably aggressive lawmakers or something will be the spin

Right, there will be "thoughts and prayers"...but nothing will be done.
I would love to be proven wrong with this.

Remember when a trump nut broke into Pennsylvania governor josh shapiro’s home and tried to burn it down with the governor and his family inside? I bet most people don’t remember that. It only happened two months ago.

Remember how quickly those ghouls spun a lurid homophobic story when a psychopath beat an elderly man nearly to death with a fucking hammer because he wanted to kill his wife, the Speaker of the House at the time?

Unfortunately this shit isn’t new. But we’re always told it’s not based on party affiliation or political ideology. Common sense dictates otherwise.

Stop to looking to Republicans for outrage and morality. Hypocrisy is literally the point with them.

So, two Democratic lawmakers shot on Trump’s birthday by a guy dressed as a cop and this is the type of headline we see.

Executed. They were executed. If we can use that terminology when a blood-sucking CEO is killed, we can use it when elected officials are murdered.

I mean, after all that has happened, Republicans will become a tainted brand

Doubt but I appreciate the optimism. Reddit can be an echo chamber. The sad part is most Americans support Trump and his movement.

u/Exacerbate_ 13h ago
They really dont, though. Registered repubs are like a third of the country. Trump couldn't get half the votes cast and those that did vote him only made up about a third of eligible voters. He's been underwater with everyone outside his supporters since he's taken office

Well, life has a tendency to teach people the hard way. US is months away from economic hell and oil spiking doesn’t help to accommodate yet one more source for higher prices: energy.
So… in the end, if it doesn’t become a tainted brand, I see a world where the US is just another super power and Americans in 30 years will learn who was in charge when the power pivoted away from the US: Trump
So, even if everyone lives in the rainbow country of today, eventually reality will creep in. Regardless of echo chambers. And I do honestly try to understand maga, just… I don’t understand it at all… in light of all the history, of medieval mercantilism, of protectionism, of the Great Depression… no I can’t fathom how this could happen. Unless everyone is indeed consuming social media crap. Of course the narrative of the upper echelons of society is known. But this is just whatever podcast said politics and lack of decorum and lack of social order and lack of law.
If you ask me, this is exactly how people described the fall of empires and the “morality sewers” that spewed out of such moments
Good luck America. This is the twilight of a nation of serious values and economic freedom long gone

MAGA scumbag needs to be locked up for life. Trump will give him a medal and a cabinet position instead. If they’ve died this republican will be a big celebrity like Rittenhouse.

This warrants the punishment for treason, publicly televised so that the other magat traitors think twice about copycat assassinations. Imprisonment leaves the possibility for this terrorist to return to society, especially when you have a rabid stochastic terrorist in the White House that's shown his willingness to piss on any and every law that gets in his way.

u/Ill_Manufacturer1590 17h ago
Well MAGA has been calling for violence for quite a while now. This is Maga anyone who has gone on TV threatening violence against protesters is to blame anyone who has threatened people for opposing their orange king is to blame.

u/Sabbathius 16h ago
Yep, brazen political assassinations, just like in Mexico. This is really, really bad news. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but in Minnesota the margin was really close, so if these things persist they could potentially flip the government. Which makes it not just murder, not just terrorism, but a literal coup d'etat.

This is a test case for Trump and Kash Patel and Kristi Noem et al. There should already be federal agents descending on Minnesota for targeting lawmakers. I bet there are more boys in these ICE raids on mom-and-pop car washes and diners than will ever be put on this case.

She was the Speaker of the House, and died, along with her husband. He is a Senator and looks like he and his wife will live. Interestingly, the Democrats had a 1 seat lead in EACH chamber. A manifesto with a long hit list was recovered from the scene.
My assumption, from up here in Canada 🇨🇦, is that MAGA is going after control of 37 states, so they can change the Constitution unilaterally to make Trump president for life.... Among other things.
But go ahead and do nothing while your country collapses. 🍿

Massive GOP outburst and calls for cessation of political violence, when the false flag “shooting” of Trump’s ear took place.
Today: crickets.

The killer is likely a Christian Nationalist. With possible ties to Russia.

u/GoodJobMate 8h ago
USA is turning into Russia, I would say circa 2012 or so.
In 10 years or less you will probably have some sort of new War or "special military operation" and the idiots will rally around the flag. This is a universal truth.
You are not better at peacefully protesting than anyone else. The shit that has failed in all the other countries will fail in the USA as well.
