    I was worried something like this would happen sooner or later on either side. People are just whipped into a frenzy by the stupid social media. We were lucky he didn't get seriously injured, although I have no doubt that this will be used by the right for political gain.

    One just has to look into history as to how world war I and the Nazi power grab came about, it all started with political violence. There is no doubt that this will further strengthen the authoritarian tendencies that Trump has already. I am seriously worried about the future.

    They'll probably try to intubate him and put him on Remdesevir.

    Good luck making that argument moving forward. Trump's polling about to sky rocket.

    Probably so. Doesn't change the facts. I'm going to base my opinions on reality. I would have thought you would respect that.

    We just saw what side it happened on.

    Look at you blaming the victim.

    We still don't know the motive. And this is still an argument dumber than a sack of hammers.

    If only republicans weren’t calling for the end of democracy and deletion of rights for groups they don’t like… maybe people wouldn’t say it?

    Just a thought

    Oh yeh, y’all will never live that down.

    It’s cute though how you think the actions of one person overrules the actions by hundreds and then excuses by tens of thousands.

    Wow you just won't give up on that will you? This is why people want to take a shot at him, they think he's Hitler Part deux and you are one of the people promoting that stupid talking point.

    It's amazing how he could be literally surrounded by people and no one else was hit.

    Trump's cult followers have literally tried to kill lawmakers, Mike Pence, FBI agents, and border patrol agents. We still don't know the motive for this one. Wouldn't surprise me if you were right.

    Everything that happens y’all scream “this has guaranteed his election” — throw it on the BS pile.

    If he wins do you think he will send me another free 300 grand? I might be able to stomach it

    Unfortunately yeah. Those people who haven’t already based their entire personalities off of him are now going to do so in a bigger capacity than ever.

    that could mean anything Fatback. He fell to the ground. Naturally, there may be some blood on his ear depending on how he fell and where he hit his head on the ground when he fell.

    Again, gunfire appeared to be somewhat distant, not close. It is also something where bullets are not smart. they are dumb. So, the possibility could be Trump, the irony of ironies, or someone else, or an argument where the person thought firearm was the best solution, etc. So, until more info is gathered by law enforcement, no one knows. Additionally, we don't know who the perp was. He could have been a Republican. That too is a possibility. But at this point, everyone is reacting and guessing what happened, not knowing what really happened to begin with
