Thoughts on the attempted assassination of Former President and Current Republican Candidate Donald Trump?

I don't condone what happened, but surely it's a consequence of the political climate Trump himself has been fuelling over recent years. Since he first ran for president, American politics seem to have become more extreme and the people are more divided than ever.

Assassinating people is a crime. For a good reason. Making yourself a stupid target while you think it to be clever to hold up your fist and shout "fight" and expose yourself wanting shoes while others risk their life to protect you is super stupid. Politically the US are so lost it is beyond words.

It's the last logical choice for the opposition to do. They tried ruining his reputation, putting him in prison. All failed. It's no surprise this happens days after it's revealed Joe Biden is mentally unfit to be president. The puppet strings are exposed. We know he's not running the show and he's most likely losing in November. What else could they do?

much like the man himself, the shooting was a symptom of a larger disease that will remain unaddressed because fixing the underlying rot causing all this doesn't make enough money

1) not enough aim, amateur, poser. 2) it's terrorism, even if it is against a strong advocate of large-scale state terrorism, and should be investigated. 3) after that he will win, we've already seen this in Brazil.
