and committing violence, I can see what would happen if Trump were to succumb to his various ailments. Earlier, at a 9/11 commemoration, he was shown dozing off and with the right side of his face drooping. Let's assume for a moment he has a real medical event and dies of it. I bet you everything that the right-wingers would say he got poisoned, it was a left-wing conspiracy, etc, given how nuts they are going over Charlie Kirk with zero information about who actually did it.

Trump's raid into the Hyundai plant and now thousands of jobs and billions of dollars will be lost due to the same. No or low information and going in with retaliation.

(92,615 posts)I have been reading different places and comments. They say if it was some left wing thing then it was probably some burn it all down type anarchist which they don't see the democratic party as.
One problem of our party has been that we are seen as weak. Does anyone think Chuck Schumer is out for blood ? It's why it's easy for them to win by attacking us on issues like crime.
Outside of their maga cult people aren't going to fall for it.

(1,089 posts)Or you could be comfortable with yourself and your politics, walk proudly, and carry a taser and pepper spray if you feel the need. Just be sure before you use them. The GOP has been preaching violence at least since the advent of Newt Gingrich and the takeover of their party by the Heritage Foundation. It got taken up a notch with the advent of social media where they can be belligerent anonymously. Yes, they'll take advantage of every opportunity. When things aren't going their way, they ratchet it up. This is nothing new. It should expected it by now. Call them out on it if you wish/dare. Either face it or surrender to the fear.

(286 posts)He dies of very normal medical reasons for a 79-year-old man, the Left openly and loudly celebrates and the MAGA crowd becomes enraged and lashes out at them in multiple violent attacks.

The rest are wearing mourning clothes and veils.
Meanwhile, RW media are putting targets on half the country's backs.
