I never knew that was a thing - crazy.

I don't understand why anyone would think taking a motorcycle ride through 130F temps is a good idea.

How you could hate him? I understand. I have a nonbinary kid, and I'm against what he stands for. But advocating for political assassination is just wrong. We don't punish people for crimes they haven't yet committed, and we don't support vigilantism.

We need to vote out fascist Republicans, not kill them.

If it was a matter of Trump in a rally saying he had been shot at, I'd be right there with you. When all the news media are confirming that there are multiple dead and wounded, people being airlifted, blood in the bleachers, etc., I'm not going to say it was a hoax.

Uh, okay, are you saying I'm supporting fascism because I'm disparaging political assassination?

One dead in addition to the shooter, multiple wounded

I can't take anything more interesting

Did you actually read the article? There are dead and wounded, people being airlifted, blood in the bleachers, etc. You honestly think it's all staged?

I'm a flaming liberal, but I'm honestly revolted that, as I write this, your comment has a bunch of upvotes and no downvotes.

Wait, are you saying I'm enabling fascism by not advocating political assassination?

Not sure where they were, but there are reports that an audience member is dead

Except he grabs his ear before the USSS tackle him

Thank you. The number of people insisting that it's fake is insane. There are reports that the shooter and an audience member are dead.

Except the shooter is dead, as is an audience member

Vote, don't murder

You'd feel the same way if it was your preferred candidate?

It's not the way.

Martyrs are dead

That's not the way

No, it's just a bullshit argument in this election. The electorate is viscerally polarized, and very few people are in the fence about who to vote for - maybe some undecided about whether they'll vote at all. I can't imagine there are many people who are going to switch from Biden to Trump because of this, or who will even go from undecided to Trump. It makes no sense.

On the other hand, Trump is going to fundraise the crap out of that picture, and it will squeeze lots more money out of his base.

I viscerally hate the guy, but:

• Murder is just wrong, and political violence isn't better when liberals do it than conservatives
• We don't need him to become a martyr
• If he's dead, we'll never get a court ruling on his crimes

What they knew then, that people can't seem to grasp now, is that kids just don't care about the adult stuff - it either goes over their heads or they think it's funny. Now people lose their minds if an adult joke is made in front of kids, or people of the same sex kiss, or whatever.
