Trump Survives

The bloke who shot him was a republican

Nutters won't let mere facts to get in the way of a good conspiracy story.

Pointless speculating until you know the full story.

What is needed is a rapid dialing down of the rhetoric and far more open minds and open ears to listen to different opinions without demonising them.

Says the person constantly telling everyone that Conservatism and right wing politics is best....

Just heard on the radio he was a republican.Very strange.

He was apparently a registered Republican. I don't know how well you understand the American electoral system, but in the 2022 election cycle tens of thousands of Democrats re-registered as Republicans so as to "support" the candidates they considered weakest in the Republican primaries. It is universally acknowledged that they had some success with this tactic.

I have personal experience with this sleaziness. About 15 years ago I was surprised to learn that a very lefty co-worker was a registered Republican. He said he did it to interfere with the Republican primaries.

Tellingly, this would-be assassin made a $15 contribution to Act Blue, which is the major fundraising arm of the left.

I think his "Republican" identity is pretty threadbare.

That is not what I constantly say at all.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote.

I wonder if Trumps new nickname will be Donald 18 months?

Fair point but you needed to make it on Twitter half a second after he was hit and half a second before every two bit you tube channel took another toot of demagogue cocaine.

that seems difficult to achieve in America, basically fundamentally changing the whole political culture for about the last 40 years

Jim, you use the nuanced, balanced, fair mantra as a way of belittling other people and their views, it's your way of saying that people who don't agree with you are insignificant, but you just can't say that (Although sometimes you slip up) You use thee tactics even when someone is bang to rights, instead of saying what you really think.

[Dorcus]

Trump survives; but will the USA and the Free World???

[ToTaL ITK]

Republicans love the 2nd amendment

[William Treseder]

Fair do’s to the old coot. Love him or loathe him, he was fist pumping 5 mins after getting half his lug hole blown off.

🤣 Quite a take.

But yes, ill clarify: If you think political violence, a presidential candidate being shot and a member of the public being killed is funny, then I don't think your views are insignificant, I think they are damned right dangerous.

What do you think on this specific topic of an attempted assassination?

People keep saying this but I just don't get it. The guys still a nut job. Biden needs replacing though.

...and there it is right there. This is exactly what you (and millions of others) should be saying about nut job politicians like Trump and Farage...but you don't.

Farage , the politics of hate

Neatly disguised

An instinct for the self-serving televisual.
