No, there was an assasination attempt on Donald Trumpet.

I never understand why lemmy downvotes someone who is trying to help by providing accurate information, presumably because they think that there's a very small chance that the person they're replying to isn't being sarcastic.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Funny enough, I wasn't entirely sarcastic. I've seen some trump memes that day and suspected smth happened to him, but they were the 1st to explicitly tell it as far as I remember 😅

Pretty worried about the comments man. Murdering (or trying to) a candidate of any political party is terrible.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Not only is it terrible, it's an actual threat to democracy.

I don't know how anyone is surprised though. When you use words like "Nazi" and "existential threat" and "threat to our democracy" it can't be a shock when someone tries to become a historic hero for taking out the supposed next Hitler, and people who buy into that propaganda language are going to cheer them on and want more of it. They're frothing at the mouth, imagining they're on the right side of history.

I get what the Dems are trying to do with pushing that language, but it really is playing with fire. It was a 50/50 chance that they could get him ineligible to run, alive or dead, and they've lost each bet.

His victory as president of the US is a threat to democracy. He already attempted a coup in 2021

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, he attempted a coup in the same way Biden sent that kid to shoot Trump a few days ago.

You know what's more of a threat to democracy? Trying to imprison a political opponent.

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you have a source for Biden paying off that kid?

Also, Trump should serve time for the financial crimes he committed outside of being president. Him being in prison wouldn't be that much of an issue for a lot of his fans

Do you have a source for Trump paying off the j6 protesters?

The issue over his crimes are whether they're actually federal crimes or not.

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I never said anything about him paying off people who took part in the failed coup

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I didn't say anything about a payment either.

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He himself said he would be a dictator on day one.

Yeah, as a joke. Context matters. Like how I don't think Biden meant he wanted some to shoot trump when he said "put a bullseye on him".

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Here's your broader context, all direct quotes:

"We're going to build a wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it"

"When the looting starts, the shooting starts"

"I will totally obliterate the deep state"

IT'S JUST A JOKE BRO, IT'S JUST A PRANK

I see republican voters shooting republican candidates as pretty much reasonable outcome rather than some newly emergent threat to democracy. Trump made his image himself, it was him who decided to harass miniorities and brag about reading Mein Kampf often. It was him who made republican message extreme, provoked an insurrection, had all those criminal charges and appointed obviously corrupt judges. He groomed americans into feeling insecure and threatened and radicalized a lot of them. I think random depressed kids trying to suicide by shooting him is the least he should expect, especially seeing that USA has a gun cult focused around right to bear arms against threats to democracy. Also a child rapist, which alone is enough for millions of people to pull the trigger. You're seriously blaming his bad image on anyone else?

The absolute garbage that does be on the internet, honestly.

Were you asleep the first time he was in office? Read Project 2025. That's what they plan on doing if he gets elected.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago

I wasn't. The economy was far better and we didn't start any new wars.

I did read project 2025, but Trump has already said that's not his aim or connect to him. He does have an agenda, but it's not that one
