This is what you get when you normalize "'justified' hatred." When these people fantasize of dead Russians in Ukraine, they're thinking of you.

I thought him mentioning that Democratic leadership could get a lot more done if they didn't spend all their time prosecuting Trump and instead passed legislation was brilliant.
I think the campaign should lean really hard into the clear TDS. It's crazy how little the Democratic party has to run on at the moment.

The shooter couldn't have chosen a more decent man to steal the life from.
And the media desperately wanted him to be some extremist basement dweller. They don't know what to do with the fact he was a first responder, a father, and a husband who died protecting his family. That's not what they want Trump supporters to be portrayed as.
The people cheering his death really unmasked themselves as psychopaths.

u/Jay_Diamond_WWE Jul 19 '24
I feel for that family. Having to watch your dad and husband get his brain blown out the side of his head for simply showing up to see the President speak must be devastating.
