Trump safe after gunshots in his vicinity at golf course; FBI investigating assassination attempt

Yes the media has created the hatred and vitriol that has caused this.

 

I would say that too if I were them.

 

It absolutely is constant. The lies about Jan 6 to the abuse of the judicial system to the obvious coverage.

It is daily.

 

This guy might have been trained, so it goes further than Media instigated vitriol. But the Media is very much part of the problem.

 

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats”. They’re eating the PETS!”

Yep, totally the media’s fault.

What “lies about 1/6”? What “abuse of the legal system”? Sounds to me your mind has been messed up by consuming too much fringe media. You hate to see it.

 

Trump yells "fire" in the theater and the democrats yell back that he is going to get someone hurt.. and in your head you equate them. I get you can reject the trump party but you cant wash off your partisan views.

 

To this day we have the media peddling the lie/idea they Jan 6 was an insurrection. It is one of the worst lies out there. And people believe it. Many here.

 

Here is the truth. Another working class white dude without a college degree is disillusioned with his life and tries out murder. Copy and paste.

 

LOL. Your side says threat to democracy all day long and are now surprised that this is 2 people trying to take out the person your side is saying is the threat...

Trump isn't yelling fire. He's saying stupid shit and is unfit to be president IMO but if you can't own that your side is also complicit then you are either being ignorant or are flat out lying. You pick.

 

It's a very peculiar Democrat desire to keep drilling that phrase over and over again and again. They want to save Democracy! Either they never read any of the quotes made by our nation's Founding Fathers, or they assume that We The People never read what they said about a democracy. They knew how easy a democracy could devolve into totalitarianism. And that is why they gave us a Constitutional Republic.

Even the Constitutional experts in the '40', '50's and the '60's knew that a democracy was one step away from socialism. And nothing has changed... that's why these Leftist/Liberals keep decrying about saving their Democracy.

Because it was.

 

Copious amounts of right wing gaslighting in this thread. I guess whatever makes you feel better

 

This can be resolved by simply looking up the definition of an insurrection.

noun: insurrection; plural noun: insurrections

1. a violent uprising against an authority or government.

Seems to me there’s only two conditions that must be met.

• Was there an uprising of violence in 1/6? Answer: Clearly yes.
• Was it aimed at the govt? Answer: Clearly yes.

Using that term all checks out. It was a MAGA insurrection attempted by several thousand supporters of former President Trump. Including people convicted of brutally assaulting police officers who he now calls “political prisoners”. Sorry reality is so inconvenient for you.

 

So the gallows and "Hang Mike Pence" chants were evidence of a tea party?

As for Trump, if he doesn't want people comparing him to Hitler, maybe stop quoting Hitler with "poisoning the blood" type statements? Or taking a page out of the Fascist playbook by using propaganda to divide along racial lines and blame all ills on the minority. See "eating the pets" and subsequent bomb threats in Springfield.

As for the shooter, unhinged with a criminal past. I think the bigger issue isn't which group he belongs to, because he's been on both sides over the years. It's how did he aquire an assault rifle?

 

Have you ever listened to a Trump speech, and the hate and vitriol that spews out? Do you think that has any bearing on this at all? Particularly now that we know the lunatic was a Trump-voting “conservative” that switched to a demand for a Haley-Vivek ticket?

 

Definitely. I remember when the media repeatedly told lies about Barack Obama's birth certificate. I remember when the bad ole media descended on an escalator into a crowd of paid actors and told racist lies about immigrants, then repeated those lies for, well, ever since then.

The hypocrisy of Trump supporters is boundless.

 

I predict Trump will ramp up his hateful ideology, and blame the left for his word-vomit.
