Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple bystanders dead.

They are, indeed, people. My point was only that they are not "bystanders". They are actively involved, and much more so than the average voter.

i wouldn't know, according to them and their folks, my friends and family and I are not people, so I guess my definition of that must differ. moreover, I don't dispense sympathy for people who would cheer and support the news that me and mine have been hunted down and shot in the street. I don't sympathize with the aggressors. I've just been trying to mind my own business and live my life as best I can, but these people (in sudden newfound need of sympathy and feelings of safety, lmao) have been talking for years of purges of non-Whites and gays, and civil wars, and rounding up the undesirables (that's me, apparently, by virtue of birth) to clean up the country. might as well be asking me to sympathize with a school shooter over his hearing damage from not wearing earplugs while he mowed down a classroom.

Please try to remember that being better than them means being better than them.

Yeah, bad people who try to establish fascism in america, so nothing to be sad about.

We’re getting into paradox of tolerance territory, tbh. I’m not upset that supporters of fascism were killed.

I am upset that the guy with the rifle didn’t have better aim (if indeed that was actually how everything went down, and it wasn’t staged in one way or another, because there are several fishy things about this).

Yea americans forget that sometimes

The kind of "people" that are ok with killing most of the others.

[–] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

Yep, given the number of places currently 'technically' invaded by the country. I guess i guess everyone's desensitised

But that's a sacrifice he's willing to make

Dude is really going through the entire comment section and correcting people who use "bystander" instead of "Trump supporter"
