Same reason Trump hates soldiers who were wounded in Afghanistan while he was president and was disgusted that he had to meet with them and their families.
A crazy white boy who couldn't join his school's rifle club got closer to killing Trump than the Iranian government ever will. Life can be real silly sometimes.
I was thinking because he likes supporters that aren't killed at his rallies.
And yet Helen Comperatore is still voting for Trump. All in all, this pretty much encapsulates the whole Republican base <-> elected leaders relationship. Blind loyalty and their figureheads look down upon them. There's no compassion, empathy, or care there, but they get rewarded nonetheless.
I think posting this was much weirder.
But hey, you do you.
Given how easy it was for an angry 20-year old with a notorious bad aim to almost kill him by a few millimeters, I would bet a lot of people who have him on his shit list are going to feel pretty emboldened
Edit: yeah there's a lot to unpack here about thinking about eren yaeger when he did his photo op
It feels weirder that your hang-up is about people making fun of Trump sleeping on the spot and how that is quite possibly the most harmless thing to do.
Yup, if the report about Iran wanting to assassinate Trump is correct I really hope they never even attempt it. Even just trying to assassinate a presidential election candidate is something the US absolutely would go to war over.
It is though, isn't it? Voting against your interests, worshipping a guy who can't stand to look at you and would never want to be around you.
I get that people like that are probably just really uninformed, but when that's not an excuse (like some people on this forum, with all the info available plain as day) - I just can't understand how anyone could be a Trump supporter.
Trump appeals to their tribalism and basic animal instincts.
When you're a hunter-gatherer, anyone outside of your tribe is potentially competition or to be looked at with suspicion.
Trump and others have been stoking this survival instinct within each of us. Fueling division, and making us weaker by pitting tribes against each other. According to Trump's tweets, on any given day, someone of some other shade of skin is either taking your money or taking your job.
Instead of fostering the positive traits in humans, like empathy and the pursuit of science, we have a leader who is amplifying all the worst habits like narcissism and racism.
We're now too busy fighting each other, forced to take sides on every issue, and unable to unite against abusive leaders. It's why a topic like gun control, where 88% of Americans support universal background checks, yet politicians still don't feel pressured to do a damn thing.
Divided. We've lost our collective power.
It's how nationalists, dictators, and kings have gained power throughout human history.
I too like to compare running presidential candidates to anime characters that try to ethnically cleanse an entire planet but at least look cool doing it
This just made me picture Trump as the Wolverine looking at photo meme
oh boo fucking hoo. dude is probably dozzing off thinking about slaughtering immigrants or something and you're here here worried about not being a to jack off to your new found fascist waifu or whatever the fuck
probably already posted, but damn! Somebody really dropped the ball here.

Not sure if it was posted here, but Republicans have actually had the shooters family in a voting database since 2016 (remember Cambridge Analytica?) as strong supporters of Trump. We're talking diehards and considered the most ideal supporters within the state. And their son is the one trying to gun down the candidate of that party.
He was attacked by one of his own.

And a reminder that Channel 4 was one of the leading groups to uncover the profiling database plot.

Are you just referring to all the "it's over, we're doomed [posts fist pump picture]"?
I personally never thought it was over, but I definitely was scared of the potential effects on the election from that picture. I didn't think it was "over" or anything, just an uphill battle that got more uphill. I don't think that take is being a chicken-little, the "it's over we're doomed" ones were.
I'm glad to see I am wrong about the events over the weekend to cause a rise in his poll numbers. That's great news. I still have worry anyway, because I remember 2016 and the polls for that, but I feel a little better about the fist pump picture now. It was also great that I did not see it everywhere after like, Sunday morning. The news cycle moved on fast.
Notice in all these threads you've got the same characters constantly trying to derail with conspiracy theory fuel and garbage "wHy DiDn'T ThE cOpS JuMP iN fRoNt oF tHe bULlEt?" takes.
I felt this was obvious, and I said this earlier in the thread.
This issue with extremists is they can latch onto a political point, but as it's politics the politicians cannot go all the way, and that's what will flip that switch in them.
The bullied person finds a kindred spirit and then feels betrayed when they don't agree.
You realize that being a white male Republican absolutely neutered the impact of this had it been a "radical leftist"/minority right? The audience was salivating with AI produced trans shooter photos, brown faces and profiles chomping at the bit for confirmation- The moment it was white ya'llqueda Trump supporting radical #1379284902279, the true damage of this event was neutralized.

Idiocracy will be reality one day. And much sooner than anyone thought.
He was a supporter of mine that died.
I like the supporters that didn't die.
media should push him on this so he can slip up and admit it
They can't eat each other fast enough
Just ask Trump to name him.
Yea the shooter being a trump loving republican with no real wiggle room for it to be anything/anyone else def took a colossal amount of wind out their sails. So much so they're kinda floundering trying to get something to stick in regards to the shooting. They're trying to deflect and place the blame elsewhere but it's not working really.
It doesn't help that Trump and GOP are trying to move on from it by avoiding talking about medical treatment, what exactly hit him, etc.
Three days after attempted assassination, Trump shooter remains an elusive enigma

So far, there has been no public disclosure the shooter left any writings, suicide note, social media screed or any other indicator explaining his reasons for targeting Trump.

I don't buy it. Give me that phone + access to his socials and youtube/twitch and it'll take me like 5 minutes to give you a list of rabbit holes lolThree days after attempted assassination, Trump shooter remains an elusive enigma

If this was a left wing shooter with radical left wing social media then it would be plastered all over the place and every mainstream outlet would cover and condemn it. Probably too much right wing shit that they don't want to expose because a lot of people in security positions have the same views.
The fact that Trump hasn't even called the wife of the person killed says everything. They want this story to die and call the least attention to it as possible. It's insane what a difference the identity of the shooter made.
It's wild that, if the reports are true, he had basically zero social media accounts, outside of Discord.
No Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok? Not even a random messageboard account? It's crazy.
I don't have any of those. 🤷♀️ Just here and discord (and I only follow one discord.)
I never really saw the appeal, and I'm not special so I doubt I'm alone.
You do post here, on a message board, though. This guy is like a unicorn. Statistically, most 20 year olds are posting something, anything somewhere.
But you're also here. How about YouTube? You dont enagage with other SNS and forums at all?
Social doesnt just mean twitter, facebook, tiktok and instagram though, and engagement isnt always life statusing.
Whilst most people will have an account on one of the big ones, not using those specifically, or not using them religiously, isnt that weird, and other platforms such as social applications like forums and the likes are used by most people.
I presume they mean this guys used nothing or was off grid in some way.
I mean, I think I'm a low SNS user and I still have a load of platforms I use. I dont use Twitter anymore, dont use Tiktok, rarely use FB, I do use Insta almost daily (mostly for cute memes with my GF in DM's but still use it), youtube daily and comment sometimes, whatsapp daily, a language exhange app periodically, discord periodically, and a number of forums daily.
So even I, a low SNS user, have a wide SNS footprint that would clearly identify my interests, politics, things I care about and the kind of people I engage with. When there is nothing, then that is indeed weird, or they're missing it.

if i got banned from here i wouldnt have any of those either :D
it's not that weird or even rare, some folk just can't stand most of social media.
that's their entire goal

this is hilarious dark.
Most people are posting something, somewhere. I wouldnt be surprised that a 20 something isnt posting their life online on FB/Insta/TikTok though. Plenty of people are aware of the negative affects that can have on mental health. I know plenty of people who are 20's through 40's who avoid it. Myself and people I know included.
i get the guy had awful aim, but it was said that he was very intelligent so he might have been good at covering his digital footprint. i mean, he was wearing a youtubers shirt.
if stuff exists im sure it will be found and im not so sure i believe they haven't discovered anything yet
