          I don’t think this is going to energize anyone four months from now. Attention spans are too short.

          Those that were going to stay home because he’s a rapist with 34 felonies will still stay home. This means nothing unless it comes out that it was a planned stunt, then he loses whatever credibility he had. Wait, never mind, he has zero credibility so his cult won’t give two shits and will continue to do and think whatever fox “news” tells them to do.

          like vote by mail? Because the snowflakes that I know do exactly that after being so against it.

          Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton by 2.9 million votes. He lost to Biden by 8.8 million votes. The last Republican president to win the popular vote was George W. Bush.

          It’s a Republican’s best friend, the Electoral college. More people want progressive candidates, not regressive backwards criminals.

            He was elected by the minority of the population, and with the help of a Senate that represents a minority of the population, appointed a third of the Supreme Court.

            Minority rule is here.

            With a more representative electoral system (like Ranked Choice voting) Republicans would be free to place a more moderate candidate as their first vote, assured in the knowledge that their vote would still count against the people they don’t want in office.

            But far more voted for Biden than Clinton. Turnout was very high.

      In the short term, I am expecting right-wing nutjobs to do their own sort of retaliatory shootings, targeting whomever their personal info bubble blames as a group.

        I hate to say it but that might be the best case scenario. At least in that case biden is in office when the violence starts

          Further violence and a mild Civil War are not best case scenario. Queer people dying for your cause is not best case scenario.

          Best case scenario (and what seems to be the alt theory on literally every social I have, and on some I don’t have), is that everyone believes this was a false flag (and/or there’s evidence it was a false flag). That fact that so many people IMMEDIATELY questioned the shooting is a really good sign. People just don’t trust him at all. Boy Who Cried Wolf etc

      My thoughts exactly, the right will eat this up and use this the rest of the race. Anyone who was on the edge for voting for him probably just made up their minds. They’ll blame the left for this.

      Update: annnd it begins…

      This is my thought exactly. I have never felt such a somber feeling.

      Nobody is changing their vote over this shit. Democrats are pretty entrenched in not Trump. They knew what was at stake this election as soon as Trump stepped back up.

        Its more than just the election. Trump is not going to go away if he loses in November.
