Someone took a shot at DJT

[Oerets]

Having lived through 1968 and it's election cycle. Seeking of any parallels with current events before this happened. Hoping that this year would not get bloody.

This shooting has more then likely just given the presidency to Trump.

Well, the SCOTUS has given the POTUS authority to have him seized and renditioned as an "official act", but he won't set such an extreme precedent as he respects the office, the process, and his responsibilities far too much. TFG, otoh, would have no such qualms if it serves his hunger for revenge.
Speaking of precedents;
BTW, if you've read Project 2025 you should recognise similarities to 1933, 91 years past, with the Nazis being totally prepared to take over Germany instead of the poorly though out previous beer hall putsch vs 2016 when the Maga Lardo Moussoli and his magamob wasn't either.
Scared yet? You should be.

Trump wins by his immediate reactions to being shot.
Defiance and the ensuing response of his supporters (USA, USA, USA) are priceless.

Trumps cult already claiming Biden and the left portrayal of him being a fascists dictator wanna be caused this. The Democrat's rhetoric, now that rich coming for the cult right!

Shooter was a white, 20 year old registered Republican. So much for the conspiracy theories...

Wow, talk about commitment to a premise!

I never said I believed it. But I have to fight the urge to believe it on seeing that photo.... It compares to the flag raising on Iwo Jima shot. Which was 'fake,' after all....

And not 'just' for the photo, for the effect of the event entire, photo just one facet.

Priceless!? To his moronic base, perhaps. Certainly not to rational people.

You know, I begin to see how conspiracy rabbit holes work. To the objections you raise, I can imagine answers. Perhaps not good answers, or likely answers, but not impossible ones....

Donated $15 to a Democratic origination Progressive Turnout Project in January 2021.

Cult will say see! Lefties were behind this shooting....


Registered as a Rep just to vote against Trump in the primary or something like that...
