Well these assassins need to understand that the public only has so much attention before it's used up. There's just not going to be any left to for it to care about Trump being shot at and miraculously surviving every other week, if that's the plan. At some point they're not even going to be making the news cycle anymore, hardly a back page mention, and then they'll have to review what the goal is that they're even trying to achieve anymore.

The public is exhausted. I think most people just want the constant cluster b drama and histrionics and victimhood to end already. Getting shot at all the time isn't normal, and people just want some normalcy again.

If I was talking to an abused women that's finally understood that her boyfriend is a malignant narcissist, and what that really means, I'd advise her to go no contact as soon as possible. Don't even open his messages. If only the country could be so lucky to have that option.

Edit: I guess I should add, first of course it's a given that political violence is completely unacceptable, and it shouldn't even be hinted at as Trump does all the time, and all the rhetoric needs to start chilling out and the constant & opportunistic Big Lie-ing stop to deradicalize people, there should be better gun regulation, better mental health services, better information sharing and training, etc. But also if these assassination attempts are real -- and it's sad that we even have to wonder about it because Trump scripts his campaign and rallies like WWF matches, not even metaphorically, and blading is a thing; but personally I think right now that they are real -- then I think Trump disappearing from the public view is the best thing he could do for his own safety too. Ending the drama would do him some good as well. The minute he's out of the public view, even the memory of him will evaporate instantly and totally I think, since he has no substance, no there there; not even worth the energy to get upset over much less want to harm him.

But one other mark of cluster b types that people don't realize is, if they do start to see the end coming near, as Trump must right now, they have a stupendous capacity for self-harm and bringing everyone down with them in a blaze of disrepute without an ounce of hesitation or empathy, the sycophants first in line, before having to face acknowledging the-thing-that-cannot-be-acknowledged, until the person is thrown face first into total narcissist collapse, which is evidently the train we're on anyway, and it's going to be a sad and pathetic day when we all have to face up to that pitiful music together, and half the country has to come to terms with being ridiculously duped to believe the stupidest things this whole time. Better just rip the band-aide right off as soon as possible and be done with it already.

Wait, they're called 'ReTruths' on the off-brand (more) open sewer Twitter? If enough people retruth something to critical mass, will they get a prize alternate reality?

Mass murder is "normal" here now. We're going to have to get used to that until Republican pols realize that vigilantism isn't solving the country's problems and stop promoting it.

So?



The people shooting at Trump obviously feel that way. They are playing vigilante. This is blowback from Republican gun nut culture. Seems the orange idol is sacred to you guys but school children are expendable.

How are a mentally ill guys taking shots at the former President a result of Democrat anti-gun nut culture? Please explain that one.
