He’s a fucking martyr now, great.
For the literal definition of a martyr, yes. For the political concept of a martyr, definitely not.
Just ask Steve Scalise.
Straight from the dictionary:
a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause:
Hey did they finally find the “good guy with a gun”?
Wouldn’t be the first time.

God damn it… Get some better fuckin’ aim!
Joe sent the orders
Please. If he had, he would have used a professional who wouldn’t have missed.
This isn’t helping though. We’ve actually been very fortunate so far that the pro-fascism candidate has been such an incoherent idiot.
Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Attacking him physically like this only makes our problems worse.
Then again, would they find a successor as easily? After all, trump has a personality cult around him. Sure, the rational people don’t like him, but do they have to?
They missed the head
The universe might have imploded from the sudden imbalance between mass and un-mass (the opposing axis of the “dark matter” posit). We might count ourselves lucky ¹.
- For values of lucky exceeding 10^-20
Or would that have been the lucky outcome after what might happen with a sympathy vote?
It would either need Trump to have impeccable timing, despite being barely able to walk down a ramp unassisted, or rely on the shooter being able to just barely clip Trump.
This doesn’t look like him acting to me, I doubt the old man would be able to pull it off.

Also, there’s two confirmed dead so far:
Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.
Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump’s team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.
Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.
