God dammit, they had to fucking miss
Well I think we can all be certain there won’t be any huge downwind effects from this 😐
Yup they’re going to try to rally around this. His stupid little fist thing he was doing while the secret service was around him is scary. It’s plays right into the fascist playbook and his narrative as a victim/brave knight enduring arrows for his common people. I’m sad to say this, but it probably would’ve been better for democracy if they had succeeded. I think he would be easier to handle as a martyr than this tough guy act he’s going to assume after this 😩
Ugh, the duopoly’s going to get so much more insufferable over this like they’re not both slavemasters worthy of being reviled.
