A dropped stochastic terrorism has no handle, I think
I sincerely hope the takeaway will be to keep this psycho away from the Oval Office. His violent rhetoric is what has led to this. Want more? Let him be elected
Right? I only watched one news clip on this. But apparently political leaders from all over the world send their best wishes, including figures like Zelensky, who would be threatened to lose the war against Russia if Trump gets elected.
My first thoughts were "Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind".
I mean, I agree with what the other leaders said; violence has no place in politics. But that's an argument to remove Trump, not to protect him. Letting him run for election is asking for more political violence either way. Systematically if he wins, and more uprising attempts, like last time, if he loses.
Are people really taking those statements as actual support?? Politicians have to come out and condemn things like that. Everyone kinda knows it's just lip service, but it would be weirder if they didn't say anything. It's just tradition. It's not like Zelensky or Obama or Sanders actually want to protect Trump's ability to run now. But I do think they're glad he wasn't assassinated, because that would have made everything worse.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
