I’ll say it out loud: On the one hand, dying of cancer sucks. On the other, Shannon Doherty was really mean to her coworkers.

Just realized she passed away yesterday, I only heard about Gene Simmons.

Edit: RICHARD Simmons. Gene is the guy from KISS.

After thinking about this REALLY REALLY HARD…offing him will do nothing to stop the creep of facism. You have an entire party now aligned with the idealogices that the 3rd Reich had. And it’s the entire party. MAGA killed the GOP after they got rid of Cheney. You cut one head off and 3 more will pop up identical to him…with vindication. Its going to be a yearly struggle and I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold them back forever.

There’s a reason the Allies kept trying to assassinate Hitler during WW2, and it wasn’t because they thought it was a bad plan to end the war.

Not saying I agree or disagree with you. Just sayin’ how it happened last time.

Killing him potentially turns their party against themselves as they fight each other for the power vacuum it creates

Doing it before he picks a VP furthers that unity divide

Who would step in to replace Trump? Trump has worked hard to discredit anybody who could potentially challenge him. Strongmen often groom a son to take over for them, but only after they’ve been in power for many years. Trump might want Junior to take over, but I doubt even Trump’s hand-picked yes-men would accept Junior at this point.

Instead you’d almost certainly get a power vacuum with various Republican factions trying to take over.

You cut one head off and 3 more will pop up

And those 3 would start snapping at each-other trying to become the dominant head. And, as long as they’re distracted snapping at each-other, they’re not going to be focusing on us.

IMO, Trump is also the only thing holding this right-wing coalition together. As soon as he’s gone the factions are going to turn on each-other. The bad thing is that they’ve already shown that they’re going to get violent when they feel their grip on power is slipping. I’m sure this assassination attempt is going to lead to right-wing violence, and if it had succeeded it would have been a lot more violence.

The most dangerous thing about Trump is that he’s he’s got almost half the US behind him. There are probably more cruel Republicans, and probably some who would be more effective at implementing their cruel policies. But, not many who would be able to get so much support and keep the coalition together.

The Republican base is getting smaller each year as old people die. It’s not a popular platform with the younger voters. If the US can avoid a Trump win this year, the MAGA version of the Republican party will probably fall apart. Then it will be back to the regular corporatocracy that the US has been dealing with for decades. If he does win… well I’m glad I don’t live in the US.

I believe the same. Want it or not, Trump has the charisma that nobody else in the party does. And the luck. My only hope to stop the madness was to have Trump losing the election then dropping dead by natural causes after. That’d be safest way to take all his followers out of the spell. I really don’t see any other way for his cult to end. Then the right wing extremists go back to hate in their closets and, if democrats are smart, keep having more moderate candidates like Biden and reign the extreme left as well.

merc ,

It would have to be a big loss. If it’s at all close, there’s going to be a lot of violence.

The only other thing I could think of that could end things without a lot more violence is if a scandal finally stuck to him and resulted in him losing support. Like, the Epstein stuff. The right has spent years getting their base riled up against pedophiles and groomers. If people believed that Trump really was a pedophile, it could finally sink him. But, nothing seems to stick to him.

Whatever happens, I hope scholars can study him and figure out why he’s so charismatic to so many people. I don’t get it. I look at him and I see a dumb, fat blow-hard who lies constantly and can’t even string a sentence together. Yet, for some reason, other people look at that and see a hero.

dodgy_bagel ,

No mixed feelings.

I wish there was more wind.

I like wind.

ipkpjersi ,

Don’t you mean less wind?

BCsven ,

Depends on direction

bountygiver ,

not sure if information is reliable but someone who knew him talked about he is a bad shot, so more wind for the assist would help

ipkpjersi ,

That seems believable. lol

Draedron ,

Not mixed. Just disappointed.

@ekZepp@lemmy.world avatar

Disappoint in not enough to describe my feelings.

I feel like I’m blocked under a huge building about to collapse at any moment and a huge piece of the support pillar just came off…

…that’s how i feel right now.

Grandwolf319 , (edited )

Not mixed, the attempt does not improve or reduce his ability to run the country. What it does however is increase his chances of winning.

Gives me Reagan and Hitler vibes.

Draedron ,

Its disappointing. Good someone had the balls to actually try and show he is serious when he says the 2A is there to prevent fascism. Sad he failed.

suction ,

That it does probably means that Americans deserve whatever lows their country will fall to.

I’ve not looked at the news yet, Lemmy was my first stop. I’m thinking… earthquake in the Kremlin?

There’s a lot of really nice architecture there, it’d be a shame for it to be lost in rubble.

That, or we got disqualified from the Euros final xD

phdepressed ,

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

yetiftw ,

they’re still people

Midnight1938 ,

Yea americans forget that sometimes

devfuuu ,

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

Midnight1938 ,

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

Draedron ,

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

Rivalarrival ,

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.

gravitas_deficiency ,

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).

experbia ,
@experbia@lemmy.world avatar

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.

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

jose1324 ,

Nothing mixed. Fully sad he didn’t die and this will cement his win in the coming months. We’re fucked.

There’s still time for the DNC to swap Biden out for a more electable candidate and energize their own base again, for what it’s worth, though at this point I think the DNC wants to lose so they can secure more funding.

fl42v ,

You mean this: bleepingcomputer.com/…/hackers-use-poc-exploits-i… ?

Pretty regular stuff if you ask me

hungryphrog ,

No, there was an assasination attempt on Donald Trumpet.

canihasaccount ,

I never understand why lemmy downvotes someone who is trying to help by providing accurate information, presumably because they think that there’s a very small chance that the person they’re replying to isn’t being sarcastic.

Diplomjodler3 ,

Absolutely not. My feeling of disappointment was completely unequivocal.

No mixed feelings at all. I am unequivocally sad that we lost Richard Simmons today 😢😢😢

it sounds like he was in a dark place for the last decade or so; if that’s true, at least now he’s no longer suffering.

I don’t have mixed feelings. No-one should ever, attempt, to assasinate a would be dictator.

What happened? Did we discover another exo-planet?

Some guy tried to shoot Trump. Tried. However, bystander died and FBI killed the shooter.
