So basically nothing changes around here from the last couple weeks.
I'm not sure how wrong they are at this point tbh. Trump dodging a bullet and pumping his fist to the crowd. Biden continuously having cases where he struggles to put sentences together. Democrats need some kind of huge unforeseen event that swings in their favor
A lot depends on who the shooter is and what motivated them. Biden needs to go regardless.
It's a shit show of a race. What a goddamn disgrace America.
Breathe folks. This doesn't help him outside of his baked in base. I mean this is going make his base rabid but it doesn't help him with independents which he needs cause him and his base are going to be calling for blood in the most offputting way. Independents are gonna be this guy is a violent idiot who suffered violence and promises violence, who the heck wants to vote for him
User banned (2 weeks): conspiracy theories
Happens in PA the most important state, target missed, SS allows him to stay on stage to get the photo. You would think they would rush him off. Yeah I can see it.
Would not be surprised if they soon find the "shooter" and they are every stereotype the right has been hammering for years.
Or someone views him as a direct threat and decided to take action themselves. I can fit both into my viewpoint
Its not going to help him. He's disliked and will continue to be disliked. How many people are actually going to change their vote because of this? You either dislike the guy or don't. It's not going to be a landslide at all.
This absolutely helps with independent voters who had any concerns about crime. I don't think the election is over or anything but check out what happened with Bolsonaro in 2018. Could draw undecideds or maybe people from RFK.
Anyone thinking this won't give Trump a poll boost is naive. Him telling Secret Service to wait so he could get that picture was brilliant. Like I said last week, he is brilliant at marketing himself.
REALLY difficult to know how this will play out.
Trump might end up doing less of their rallies... or he might double down.
Trump might ramp down the violence and retribution rhetroic.. or he might ramp it up.
This might unify the country to think about gun safety laws... or Republicans triple down on guns.
Does Trump get more scared/cautious or more bold?

all conspiracy theorists sound stupid lol
No this was not staged
You don't risk something like this when you're cruising to a win
You don't risk something like this when the primary is draft dodger who puts ketchup on steaks

You're kinda coping if you don't think it's gonna be the latter option in all of those cases lol
Yeah I am more worried about his personal reaction to this. I don't think even the image works well enough for ads, it's too gruesome. It is sadly 'iconic' tho. Can't see this as anything but bad but I don't think it changes the electoral side of things much not that it matters when we know literally nothing right now.
And I say this as someone this thread probably would see as a 'doomer'

We still don't know if it was even a serious assassination attempt or just someone with a pellet gun.
Edit- if it's true that someone was killed, it's very possible that it was some of his supporters getting in a fight.

There's a possibility his supporters start lashing out in ways that are obviously dangerous and concerning but would just as quickly dry up any "sympathy for Trump" reaction people are worried about here.
This is not about changing anyone's vote. This is literally about turn out.
Democrats have no fucking enthusiasm for this ticket right now and Republicans have all of it and now they're going to get even more.
that locked thread is pure liberal q anon good grief, right down to the people who are trying to say with a straight face that those who are concerened about it are plants who are concern trolling. fuck all the way off.
He ain't gonna win because of this. He's gonna win because the Democrats are in shambles right now bickering back and forth over Biden's condition.
The picture on CNN.com of him pumping his fist, blood on his face in front of the American flag will win him the election.. God damn

Even if it was 'just' an air-powered gun, those can be powerful. I was looking into a bullpup a few years ago that could easily drop a grown buck with a good shot at a very respectable range.
Honestly, I feel thankful that the injury wasn't too bad. America is not in a place right now for an assassination like this to not harden people's opinions on the 'other side' and take it to hate filled degree.

I don't think he was grazed by a proper bullet. That would have taken a piece of his ear off if that was the case, and the following shots would have injured the crowd behind him.
I think this was a direct ear shot, from someone standing to his right, fired from a low powered firearm like a BB gun.
Biden's mind floating out in space will win it for him before that will.
Yup. Can't help but feel that's a nail in the coffin. Unfortunately that pic will be used widely and it will get eaten up.
Even if its probably from him slamming into the stage floor, doesn't matter
Is this how Harris becomes the Democratic candidate? Stay tuned....
And if it turns out it was his supporters getting in an altercation?
Nah man near constant dooming is famously super healthy for a person's wellbeing. /s
