Some guy tried to shoot Trump. Tried. However, bystander died and FBI killed the shooter.

I've not looked at the news yet, Lemmy was my first stop. I'm thinking.... earthquake in the Kremlin?

There's a lot of really nice architecture there, it'd be a shame for it to be lost in rubble.

That, or we got disqualified from the Euros final xD

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple bystanders dead.

Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple ~~bystanders~~ Trump supporters dead.

Yeah, bad people who try to establish fascism in america, so nothing to be sad about.

[–] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yea americans forget that sometimes

The kind of "people" that are ok with killing most of the others.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

True, but they're still people. Dehumanizing them because they dehumanized you is another path that I don't care to see. It's good to be intolerant of intolerance, but nothing ever gives anyone the privilege to do anything intolerable.

We’re getting into paradox of tolerance territory, tbh. I’m not upset that supporters of fascism were killed.

I am upset that the guy with the rifle didn’t have better aim (if indeed that was actually how everything went down, and it wasn’t staged in one way or another, because there are several fishy things about this).

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

They are, indeed, people. My point was only that they are not "bystanders". They are actively involved, and much more so than the average voter.

Absolutely not. My feeling of disappointment was completely unequivocal.

No, there was an assasination attempt on Donald Trumpet.

Nothing mixed. Fully sad he didn't die and this will cement his win in the coming months. We're fucked.

I don’t have mixed feelings. No-one should ever, attempt, to assasinate a would be dictator.

No mixed feelings at all. I am unequivocally sad that we lost Richard Simmons today 😢😢😢

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Damn this is how I found out. Extra sad now, thanks.

Not mixed, the attempt does not improve or reduce make his ability to run the country. What it does however is increase his chances of winning.

Gives me Reagan and Hitler vibes.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago

Its disappointing. Good someone had the balls to actually try and show he is serious when he says the 2A is there to prevent fascism. Sad he failed.

Not mixed. Just disappointed.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Disappoint in not enough to describe my feelings.

I feel like I'm blocked under a huge building about to collapse at any moment and a huge piece of the support pillar just came off...

...that's how i feel right now.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

After thinking about this REALLY REALLY HARD...offing him will do nothing to stop the creep of facism. You have an entire party now aligned with the idealogices that the 3rd Reich had. And it's the entire party. MAGA killed the GOP after they got rid of Cheney. You cut one head off and 3 more will pop up identical to him...with vindication. Its going to be a yearly struggle and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them back forever.

If your feelings weren't mixed you either don't value human life or you don't value democracy.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We aren't running out of humans, and we don't live in a democracy...

[–] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Turns out you don't have to be running out of humans to value human life.

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Define 'Human'

If I have a bowl of rice, and one of the grains is actively trying to end my way of life, I don't mind when someone shoots at it with an assault rifle.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

First of all: rice doesn't have that kind of agency

Second of all: shooting at a grain of rice in your bowl with an assault rifle is many times more likely to hit you than that specific grain of rice

Third, if that's REALLY the best analogy you could think of, you should just stop the whole "communicating your thoughts to other people" thing. Evidently it's not something you're ever going to get the hang of.

Fourth and finally: a propos of nothing except the fact that I just listened to an episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, horses are overrated, and not just by the McElroy brothers.

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't even know the news how can I feel mixed

[–] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I see. Thanks

is Democracy really just a choice between an evil and a good? the USA needs way more politcal parties than just two.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 0 points 4 months ago

The USA needs ranked choice voting

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What? The current events are an attempt on someone's life with the goal of saving what semblance of democracy we have left.

I don't even agree with him, but did y'all seriously miss the memo? It's pretty obvious what he meant if you haven't been under a rock for the last 24hrs.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty wishful thinking to think Proj 2025 and all the other MAGAs are going to fade away after the orange man is gone. Did you not see De Santis' support before Trump entered the race?

Paradox of tolerance: Trump will end democracy and even more lives.

Sorry but most politicians don't care about democracy either, just enriching themselves and close friends

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago (11 children)

Edit: a ~~bystander~~ Trump supporter was killed

FTFY. They were attending a Trump rally. They weren't just a bystander. They were complicit.
