I'm just waiting for this crap to blow

over. After Kamala had embarrassed and eviscerated Trump in the debate I was overjoyed with the result and felt the democrats had gained a lot of momentum from Kamala winning the debate. Trump post-debate was getting clowned non-stop, and it was great. Now due to this bs assassination attempt it seems like the momentum is on temporary hold since the media can't go in on Trump and has to show consideration for this clown for the next few days or a week or two before normality is going to resume again. This is very frustrating it feels like this clown got another reset from an embarrassing moment. I'm just going to wait a week or two for this crap to blow over. I expect the republicans and Trump's supporters to spin this for as long as they can as the democrats being behind this failed assassination attempt and try to capitalize off of this with their stupid conspiracy theories. This whole entire situation is very nauseating.

On a side not why is it every time these dumb fuck assassins are republicans but also have made 1 donation to act blue? I wonder if this is some dumb strategy by these clowns to preserve unity in the republican party and they think in their sick minds it also allows them to save the party by shifting blame on the democrats that is if their attempt is successful.

assassination attempts are always newsworthy, but can you think of a time where an assassination attempt is being used for political gain from the other side? That's what makes this situation different. It also shows there is no morality involved in this situation or decency but that's not surprising coming from the other side.

2. I feel like long term democrats are generally more against gun violence.

So the chance of a long term democrat doing it is much lower than say a disinfected MAGA voter who has since turned against TFG to do it.

Question is, how do they intend to use this going forward? Fear of Kamala or Harris-Walz or Democrats, obviously, but what form will it take?

expect that every week, from now until Election Day, there will be an event created (or not) to try and keep the attention on TFG.

Last week it was all Laura Loomer.
