[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

"Oh you can post opinions on Lemmy, just not THIS lemmy. Also whatever instances you are allowed to post your spicy opinions on are already defederated. huzzah for free speech (that's not in my back yard!)"

Lest anyone feel bad, remember they thought this was fine.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Someone saw this and sent me a message saying they hope I die, lmao.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hope you live a nice long and fulfilled life, but die eventually. Let’s be honest, given the current timeline… immortality would suck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is fine. It's just not usually like Lemmy to send me vile threats since I sprinkle joy and sovcits all over the place.

This is the dumbest shit and we need to fucking grow up a bit. These "questions" are asinine and not that hard to explain.

Not denying the incident was reported, but there's a heavy insinuation here that this was set up or manufactured. If so... They needed an entire Secret Service detail, local event police and everyone standing by to be in on it. A couple hundred people are going to be involved and no one leaks it?
"Supposed" gunman. I like how you pivot from "this is probably set up" to "ok even if it was real Trump is capable of worse"
Again, the insinuation of an inside job here. We're going to involve a hundred or more people and no one thought it would be a problem to kill a bystander? Or the gunman was so good he killed a specific plant? And they had a 100% success rate... No one heard the plan and thought "oh this is a bad idea" and spoke out about it?
Big difference between deleting text messages and MURDERING AN AMERICAN to further a political agenda.
Yes. Things happen all the time. Trump people are saying this is to distract from Biden being inept. There's always a convenient time.
Yes you dumbshit he was concerned about his hat because they already had the all clear. The shooter got taken out in seconds. They wouldn't have moved Trump. And they all were saying it was all clear. Also have you ever seen people in an absolute panic? Not the most rational state. Same thing with his shoes. That's ALSO why he took the photo op. They all dove on top of him. They figured out the shooter's location and took him down before Trump even got up.

There's pictures of the fucking bullet in flight. So either that was ALSO manufactured (a member of the press willingly heard the plan ahead of time and doctored a photo or they actually shot a bullet inches away from Trumps head AND captured it). But no let's just get Trump, a bumbly ass fuck to orchestrate this perfectly. I'm sure he had it a planned to go down, and everyone covered him and he pulled out a razor blade, cut his ear, and put it away, all perfectly executed and no one caught anything on camera from any of the dozens of angles.

This shit is so fucking stupid and I'm so sick of hearing about it. These points all rely on the most ass backwards way of thinking where dozens of people are in on this conspiracy and relies on all of them bring cool with killing someone to make it good for Trump.

Get this shit outta here. This doesn't deserve the pixels on the screen used to illuminate this nonsense. Be a fucking grown up. We're going to have to figure out a real way to beat Trump, not pretend this was some false flag bullshit. Accept reality. Be a goddamn adult.

I'm not even saying you're wrong for questioning, but I am saying you are wrong because the sheer volume of things that would need to occur for this theory to be even remotely possible is so ridiculous, I would consider aliens an equally plausible situation.

Because they're hoping for a martyr?

Why? Because someone shooting at him for everything he's done is less realistic?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

More because the right loves calling things false flags and projection in equal measure

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

I'm honestly convinced in a very defeatist way that this will cement any uncertainty of his canadicty on the right and win him the election this year because of it.

I can picture it now "Nobody ever tries to kill the bad guy, look at history MLK jr, Kennedy, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Hitl- history all looks upon the vile left and shames them for trying to engineer such things."

In Brazil, during the 2018 election, Bolsonaro’s team got advice from Steve Bannon. Bolsonaro was stabbed during his campaign which many say hugely bolstered his numbers.

Now this? I know Bannon is in prison but the whole Cambridge Analytica thing and the manipulation of public & individual opinion… the connections with Roger Stone… the whole QAnon crap… project 2025… it’s just all so fucking weird.

The truth is more like it looks. No need for a conspiracy. Vile orange man who spews hatred and violence and preaches senseless retribution is shot at in a fascist rally in a country where guns are sacred.

As I said, no need for a conspiracy, all the necessary ingredients are at hand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Exactly. With all the guns out there, and all the crazy people with guns, it was only a matter of time before this sort of thing happened. And unfortunately, it will happen again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Naw, he actually got injured. There's no way he'd risk something like that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I can't tell you that because it wasn't.

Things are way less organized than you think.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

With how good he is at keeping secrets, I wouldn't be surprised if in like 6 years it comes out that this was all planned.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I will give it 6 weeks
