“If [Hillary Clinton] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
He was just joking though. You can tell because he always speaks plainly.
Fucking hell I totally forgot about this shit. Thank you for reminding us.
From the first few paragraphs about fascism on Wikipedia
Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently negative or pointless, instead viewing imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation
We don’t even really need to check who has been defending or denouncing what if you want to see who’s committing violence, there’s an even more damning statistic.
Number of People Killed in Deadly Attacks in the Post-9/11 Era, by Ideology
-
Far Right Wing: 134
-
Jihadist: 107
-
Ideological Misogyny/Incel Ideology: 17
-
Black Separatist/Nationalist/Supremacist: 13
-
Far Left Wing: 1
It should also be noted that Jihadist terror attacks have almost as many victims as far right terror attacks because the former are just more efficient, but far right terror attacks are far more common. Check the graph in the article.
The fact that the far right candidate has been under a murder attempt by another far right loon is just the cherry on top.

you got to love how they turned the tables and are blaming democrats for fostering an environment of violence lol. Is this what a logic lapse looks like?
And Democrats are gonna buy it and become even more milquetoast.
Welcome to the Post-Fact world of the Alt-Right… They don’t care that their arguments make no sense, it’s about the feeling behind it.
Is this what a logic lapse looks like?
Nope. Logic plays no part in it because it’s all emotional manipulation. As much as the word gets overused nowadays, this is gaslighting. Straight from the abuser’s handbook - Deny Accusations, Reverse Victim & Offender (DARVO).
We said thoughts and prayers, isn’t that their custom for victims of gun violence?
Are we supposed to be emulating them? Isn’t that just stooping to their level? Why not be the better man?
Somone wise once said, fool me once shame on you foot me twice… Can’t get fooled again!
Republicans have been pushing hate and fear for DECADES. They have laughed at tragedies and drawn crosshairs on their political opponents.
So yea, we don’t need to be better men.
I don’t condone violence, but I also have zero sympathy for someone who’s done nothing except stoke fear and violence at every turn.
Every accusation is a confession with these assholes.
Also…no one in the history of ranged weapons has ever trained for the ear. Center mass to drop. This was a full on photo op
The shooter was a right wing nutjob apparently?
Personally I think that the whole thing was staged
I prefer the theory that he was a radical centrist.
The conservative subreddit is losing their mind rn. They say calling Trump a threat to democracy is violent rhetoric.
Grasping at all the straws in the world.
They say calling Trump a threat to democracy is violent rhetoric.
They aren’t strictly wrong. When Republicans insisted that Clinton, Obama, and Biden were a threat to democracy, they absolutely intended it as a call to violence.
The hiccup in their reasoning is that the shooter was one of their dudes. The “Trump is a threat to democracy” line isn’t just a GOTV message among Dems. Its an ear-splitting dog whistle from the secessionists and white nationalists who see Jared Kushner as a shadowy (((puppet master))) working Trump’s strings. This call came from inside the GOP’s own house.
Grasping at all the straws in the world.
Not at all. This is pure projection. Republicans shooting at Republicans, while everyone points at the other and shouts “Double Secret Antifa Infiltrator!” They’ve drunk their own Deep State kool-aid and now they’ve got the long knives out for one another.

Are we going to make calling out Trumpism anti-semetic now?
Its an attitude common to American ultra-nationalists. When you see reactionaries, particularly on the AM Talk Radio circuit, turn on Trump, there’s inevitably a deep strain of anti-semetism used to justify it.
Yep because of course great leader Trump can’t be doing anything wrong, it must be others manipulating him and among the right others always ends up meaning Jews.
great leader Trump can’t be doing anything wrong
He could learn to duck. Dude’s lucky there wasn’t a second gunman or he’d have been dead for sure.
They’re also upset that the shooter was apparently one of their own and not an evil lefty liberal. Clearly they would have liked that.
And the same party that cries about stochastic terrorism now doesn’t believe it either.
Well done.
