The only reason democrats get extra flak was because they had a lot more egregious cases. A personal favorite/highlight were the Georgia county ones where peoples votes were altered despite being public record and viewable. Then when they posted about it on facebook, twitter, etc it just resulted in your account getting removed/flagged/silenced. But hey censorship is good as long as it fits your desired narrative right? Any type of infringement or impediment of free speech needs to be smited off of the universe. Anyone that finds they strongly align with either side is just a sheep on top of being a clown. I think it's for the best that that's "probably the only time you'll ever post in a politics thread", because of how utterly asinine your post was. Thanks for sharing your conspiracy theories and name-calling though. Extremely insightful. | ||

More people wanted him to have a 2nd term than wanted to give him a first. I don't believe that will be the case for Biden since his favorables have had a -40% swing since being elected. They are also lower than any president at this point that has gone on to win reelection. | ||

They looked very hard for fraud in the election and all they found was a handful of Republicans voting for Trump multiple times. No races were impacted. | ||

Some polls still have Biden (or other Dem alternatives) barely ahead or tied with Trump in a head-to-head race. Of course, other polls also put Trump ahead, especially when factoring in third-party candidates. https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/president/general-election One could have just as easily asserted that it's "more likely just another deranged" conservative who thought Trump would benefit from the sympathy of a failed assassination attempt, since Trump's poll numbers didn't skyrocket from Biden's poor debate performance. It's silly to speculate in these ways, whether it's about the whole thing being staged, or the whole thing being a reaction to a few inconspicuous polls in either direction. What "another?" Do you have any single example of a Republican supporter false flag fake assassinating one of their own people and ending up as cherry pie on a roof tile in order to help their poll numbers? You could assert pigs fly just as easily as anything, the ease with which you can assert something is not related to how relatively likely it is to be true. Here's my speculation. The sitting resident of the White House days ago said "We're done talking about the debate, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye." Two days ago he said, "I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation." Weeks before that he tweeted: https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1806745000971296833 The Huffington Post days ago ran with "Supreme Court Gives Joe Biden The Legal OK To Assassinate Donald Trump" as a headline. CNN posted Trump "fell" and the NYT front page says Trump was hurt at a "shooting." I personally saw this + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/0BsHHbd/wtfwiki.png) on Wikipedia during the peak of confusion somehow injected over the page about the assassination attempt. Lee Zeldin was attacked. Two Republican councilmembers from New Jersey were killed. Maxine Waters said she would take Trump out. The sitting resident said he would take him behind the gym and beat him up. Colorado Rep Woodrow tells us "We don't need sympathy for the devil" after Trump is shot. The assistant to Congressman Thompson who proposed the Secret Service removal bill said if you're going to attempt assassination, please learn to aim. Rep Goldman went on TV and said Trump has to be "eliminated." Madonna thought a lot about blowing up the WH, or so she said in front of cameras in front of a huge crowd. Kathy Griffin - too tasteless to repeat. Rand Paul got assaulted and we heard "Today we are all Rand Paul's neighbor." Pelosi said he was right to attack him. This is 90% one side and it's a reaction to an imagined caricature of Hitler Republicans that coming on 2 generations have been brainwashed into. The same people pushing this shit now wait until the shooter missed and they overplayed their hand to be like "Oh actually let's be civil." Politicians, at least. The media are still all in on Orange Hitler. The Atlantic is recommending Trump use this chance to remind people not to be violent. Perhaps he will set an example by promising not to get shot again? There's your "deranged leftists" that you could speculate this is another of. There's your "stochastic terrorism." That is made-up nebulous bullshit so Blue people are justified in saying and doing whatever they want against it. Decent people everywhere should be and are ashamed to be associated with this lunacy, and we are happy to welcome you back at any time. The SS better be on 500% alert because if one 20 year old idiot can get this close, who knows what could happen. | ||

Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David, treated with them, then surrendered to them. He inked the agreement in which the US agreed to stand aside while they defeated the ANA and then unilaterally withdraw. Not the worst thing he's done but the idea that he doesn't have blood on his hands is laughable. | ||

Trump literally just survived an assassination attempt and yet you point to this faux coup as the most recent threat to democracy - craven, you're fucking craven my guy | ||
