Trump Assassination Attempt

 


What do I know?  I know that I wouldn't vote for either of Biden or Trump.  Trump is a corrupt, racist, murderous asshole who has allied himself with even more dangerous, right-wing groups, like the evangelicals and the Heritage Foundation.  He probably will implement some sort of fascist political order if elected.  But where on earth did he get the power to impose a fascist regime in the USA, which is supposed to have a system of "checks and balances" to stymie legislative or executive overreach and defend minority rights? (I was pointing out since 2012 that the USA's political-legal system adequately prevents a government from doing things FOR US-Americans, such as provide public healthcare, while still allowing them to do things TO them, such as assassinate them overseas, spy on them, or otherwise abuse them.)

You can thank "Democrats" like Joe Biden, with their mass incarceration "anti-crime" legislation and their expansions of police power and the carceral state.  Democratic Party support for mass-surveillance, Obama's aforementioned "kill lists," have contributed a mighty share.  "Genocide Joe Biden" has only himself to blame.

The whole Trump assassination thing looked bizarre.  It sounds bizarre.  I gotta say, letting a guy who was just an assassination target to stick his head and arm out of your protective screen to pump his fist doesn't sound like proper procedure.  But too many other things make me think it must have been real.

It all sounds bizarre, but you must understand that an insane society has insane people leading it.  Completely idiotic people.  There IS a "Deep State."  And they feared Trump for threatening the MIA's gravy train when he advocated better relations with Russia.  They couldn't even process that Trump was compensating them by all his coercion of NATO "allies" to increase their military spending.  And so we had "Russiagate" which was bullshit and which has only allowed Trump to get away with even more of his self-serving lies and conspiracy theories.  Trump really lost the last election.  And COVID-19 was (and is) real.  But Trump really was harassed by the FBI during "Russiagate" and if (as looks likely) he wins re-election, there will be some sort of reckoning.  And perhaps that's what was behind this.

I don't think the Biden camp's rhetoric was responsible for the shooting.  And I agree with Democrats (partisan) warnings of Trump's fascist danger.  But you have to find it rich how the senile Biden goes on tv to yammer about how violence has no place in US-society, and that, furthermore, they aren't enemies with the man they describe as a wannabe fascist dictator supported by racist thugs.
