Literally nothing has changed.

Except that fascists think they have it in the bag now.

They can’t stop themselves from gloating less than 24 hours later.

But nothing has fucking changed. Are we really gonna just lie down for this because a guy who says his enemies should be shot every single day got a minor wound from one of his own supporters?

@Catvalente I heard him say let me get my shoes before the guards got him off that stage. So I think the entire thing was faked. I'll be the Winston Smith here, but I'll stand by my convictions.

@EJGilbert @Catvalente I'm not entirely convinced, either. I haven't yet read the name of the other person besides the shooter who died, or anything else about them.

And d* if it didn't look like trump popped a planted capsule by his ear exactly on cue, on the downstage side of his head, lost the hat, while no one in the crowd behind him is doing anything, including responding to the gunfire that should have been hitting them.

@janisf @Catvalente I can't see, but I know what I heard and with the lies that constantly come out of his filthy mouth, I wouldn't be surprised if they murdered one of their own to frighten people into voting for him at the risk of seeing more violence.
@EJGilbert @janisf @Catvalente
He is desperate. And, haven't we seen enough to know, he will stop at nothing? He cares about one thing only. Himself.
@cmtinkerton @EJGilbert @Catvalente this only works if your parents don't speak badly of you from the get go. just sayin'.
@EJGilbert @Catvalente A more believable explanation is that Trump wanted his shoes so that people wouldn't see his toe pads, allegedly used to cover up an awkward "lean" when standing:

@EJGilbert @Catvalente He’s not a good actor. He was shocked. Plus people died. He’s also a coward who would not go with a plan that required being grazed with real bullets. I wondered if he was speaking in stocking feet and needed the shoes to walk.

The telling question is, Why did a 20-year-old Republican sacrifice himself?

@skry @EJGilbert @Catvalente Has Republican behavior suddenly become logical? I must have missed that.
@skry @EJGilbert @Catvalente They said the shooter's only recorded contribution was $15 to a liberal org. My guess is he had psychological problems and was motivated by suicide by cop or a desire to get into the history books.
@cgervasi The contribution was before he registered Republican FWIW. I hope the motive will be discovered soon.
