I don't. They might commit more hate crimes, but mass shooters usually do it because they're demoralized and feel powerless. Trump supporters are the opposite rn. The shooter rolled a natural 1 for agility and Trump rolled a critical success for luck. It couldn't have gone better for him.

I'm far less concerned about emboldened supporters than I am about the likely backlash by the state. Events like this are always taken as justification for more harsh oppression of the people. Also, Biden now has to make statements sympathetic to Trump. This couldn't have gone worse - we get the blowback from an attempt, and he's able to ride this to more popularity.

Assassination isn't the way, folks. I know you're hurting, I know you're disempowered by the electoral system, but Trump and Biden aren't the core of the problem. You can't cut the head off because it's not a snake, it's a hydra. The way to beat this system is to build alternatives and wean people off of their dependence on it, and deprive it of victims. You have to starve the beast.

I honestly give it a 50% chance that there’s some sort of mass casualty event in the next 12 hours related to this.

Given that there is more mass shootings in USA than days in a year, I think this ship has already sailed...

It will be more than 12 hours before it happens. But that's small consolation. Once political violence is in the mix it can very quickly spiral out of control

I think years of pushing for laws to make it legal to run over protesters in their pavement princesses is going to lead to a lot more road rage incidents. Idiots are already emboldened by putting on that red cap, now they have a vehicle too.

I hope this is quickly exposed as a poorly planned inside job, but even then it won’t matter to the Base. Y’all Qaeda has moved into full on terrorist demagogue territory.
