No mixed feelings, I’m absolutely devastated about how much harder saving the USA will be from today.

Yeah, I guess the convicted felon is destined to expire on his golden throne while trying to push out a Big Mac.

No mixed feelings here, just heaps of disappointment.
Pessimistically, I don’t see how the system gets better without full collapse.
But wow imagine a few normal candidates running again. Imagine getting to vote for politics and not in a rule-breaking popularity contest.
I'll say it out loud: On the one hand, dying of cancer sucks. On the other, Shannon Doherty was really mean to her coworkers.
Just realized she passed away yesterday, I only heard about Gene Simmons.
Edit: RICHARD Simmons. Gene is the guy from KISS.

After thinking about this REALLY REALLY HARD...offing him will do nothing to stop the creep of facism. You have an entire party now aligned with the idealogices that the 3rd Reich had. And it's the entire party. MAGA killed the GOP after they got rid of Cheney. You cut one head off and 3 more will pop up identical to him...with vindication. Its going to be a yearly struggle and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them back forever.
Killing him potentially turns their party against themselves as they fight each other for the power vacuum it creates
Doing it before he picks a VP furthers that unity divide
There's a reason the Allies kept trying to assassinate Hitler during WW2, and it wasn't because they thought it was a bad plan to end the war.
Not saying I agree or disagree with you. Just sayin' how it happened last time.

No mixed feelings.
I wish there was more wind.
I like wind.
Not mixed. Just disappointed.
Disappoint in not enough to describe my feelings.
I feel like I'm blocked under a huge building about to collapse at any moment and a huge piece of the support pillar just came off...
...that's how i feel right now.
Not mixed, the attempt does not improve or reduce his ability to run the country. What it does however is increase his chances of winning.
Gives me Reagan and Hitler vibes.
That it does probably means that Americans deserve whatever lows their country will fall to.
Its disappointing. Good someone had the balls to actually try and show he is serious when he says the 2A is there to prevent fascism. Sad he failed.
I've not looked at the news yet, Lemmy was my first stop. I'm thinking.... earthquake in the Kremlin?
There's a lot of really nice architecture there, it'd be a shame for it to be lost in rubble.
That, or we got disqualified from the Euros final xD
Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple bystanders dead.
Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple ~~bystanders~~ Trump supporters dead.
But that's a sacrifice he's willing to make
they're still people
i wouldn't know, according to them and their folks, my friends and family and I are not people, so I guess my definition of that must differ. moreover, I don't dispense sympathy for people who would cheer and support the news that me and mine have been hunted down and shot in the street. I don't sympathize with the aggressors. I've just been trying to mind my own business and live my life as best I can, but these people (in sudden newfound need of sympathy and feelings of safety, lmao) have been talking for years of purges of non-Whites and gays, and civil wars, and rounding up the undesirables (that's me, apparently, by virtue of birth) to clean up the country. might as well be asking me to sympathize with a school shooter over his hearing damage from not wearing earplugs while he mowed down a classroom.

We’re getting into paradox of tolerance territory, tbh. I’m not upset that supporters of fascism were killed.
I am upset that the guy with the rifle didn’t have better aim (if indeed that was actually how everything went down, and it wasn’t staged in one way or another, because there are several fishy things about this).
They are, indeed, people. My point was only that they are not "bystanders". They are actively involved, and much more so than the average voter.
Yeah, bad people who try to establish fascism in america, so nothing to be sad about.
Yea americans forget that sometimes
The kind of "people" that are ok with killing most of the others.
Yep, given the number of places currently 'technically' invaded by the country. I guess i guess everyone's desensitised
