GutterBoy 2,896 Posted July 14 2 minutes ago, thegeneral said: I got to say his reaction was so many things. It was hardcore badass. The images with the flag in the background legit look like AI generated. Incredible pic. It was also odd that he immediately is telling people to fight like we are in a war or something. I don’t take anything from this and most importantly he turned his head at the perfect moment to not have this be mind bogglingly awful. I think he was already going to win, unless something completely out of the ordinary occurs it is now a lock. It goes without saying after this anything can occur. Yeah ive seen this reaction quite a bit and it doesn't compute. Are you telling me a Biden voter is gonna switch to trump because of an assassination attempt? Or an undecided, this will be the tipping point? It definitely galvanizes the base, but I can't see how it creates new votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time he told a crowd to fight for him they seized the capitol. Hopefully, we still have some generals and admirals listening to the rightful President and we can fix the country with no bloodshed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy missed being killed by about two inches. If Trump can get his messaging right it’s a lock. Bigger than the Hillary win. Just my two cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump dealt with getting shot better than anyone I've ever seen. I've seen grown men grazed, crying for their Moms. He got shot, put his shoes on and walked off like a Man. How would you of handled that situation, not that good I bet. And that's not a knock on you, almost anyone would of panicked or folded. It's human nature. Trump is one tough ass dude. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,788 Posted July 14 I don’t see why political affiliation matters. Either way the shooter was obviously sick/deranged. That’s the primary factor. Now it is fair to ask if the rhetoric has become so intense that we’re really inflaming these sick people. And it has bad effects on society in general. But tons of blame to go around there - certainly can’t say either side is without involvement. Moral here is to calm down and act like rational adults until at least November.

You keep pumping out the crazy messages all day everyday and the message will be heard be people who can’t filter things out. This is fair. Just acknowledge this is on both sides. These quotes are everywhere. I don’t want to inject Trump specifically into this but he is as responsible for crazy rhetoric as much as the next guy. This is an opportunity to reset a bit. From a purely politics angle if Trump can message this he wins in a landslide IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
