Panto_Villan Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) Political violence is not good. If killing Trump had been successful in changing the election, there’s a real danger it would become more widespread in future elections. And if it doesn’t succeed, it’s just making Trump more likely to get elected. That said, I do have a bit of a “you reap what you sow” attitude towards politicians advocating for looser gun laws and normalising political violence. So I struggle to find much sympathy for Trump himself, I’m mostly concerned about how this is very bad for the US when you start considering the bigger picture.

I think there will be this sort of talk from the media in the next few days but I'm not sure why this would make someone vote for trump who wasn't going to vote before this. He's an incredibly dangerous man and the world will be a worse place if he wins again. This doesn't change that.

I’m just surprised that Trump would want to take part in an election process again that he is so sure was completely rigged against him last time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rodders Posted July 14 Popular Post Share Posted July 14 Obviously would be bad if he died but ultimately no one would shed a tear if someone iced Putin or if someone had nobbled Adolf in the 1930s. It's a shame that 75million people in America are unashamed Nazis but there you go. That's what that country wants. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Just now, LondonLax said: It gets more people out to vote from his side. Does it? Surely the MAGA lot were committed to voting for him anyway. I can't imagine loads of undecided or independent voters now deciding this is their man. I think it will spur a lot of emotion in people over the next few days but I'd be surprised if it made a massive difference come November. I just can't imagine significant number of people saying I'm now going to vote for him because some lunatic took a shot at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an incredibly dangerous man and the world will be a worse place if he wins again. This doesn't change that. For sure, and this could possibly make him even more dangerous. But, I fear, you are speaking on behalf of rational and sensible Americans. Trump is my third least liked human after Putin and Infantino. I had always thought the worst possible thing would be if Trump was assassinated, as he will be held up as a martyr of some sorts. As for the other two, fire away. You can be sure, the Republicans and their associated Magalites will turn up to vote. Democrats, they are a bit fickle. If things are not going their way, they may protest in their stupid way by not bothering to vote, and then whine about moving to another country because they are not happy with the result. As for the undecideds, the swinging voters, Trump, if he milks it right, may win some sympathy votes. Biden had a (winnable) battle on his hands prior to this. Now, I would say Trump has a definite edge. Because, Murica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
