    I absolutely agree, but I think it’s important to neither glorify nor demonize the attacker. This isn’t a route we should keep open to gain fame/infamy.

      We shouldn’t demonize him, but we should be sober about him.

      He was a loser who intended to make our country worse.

            I’m also skeptical. Just like the candidate, I feel like this sort of behavior tends to be very self-centered. Maybe his action will leave the country worse off but I doubt he thought beyond himself, that he would do something significant and be remembered.

          Had he been successful, the far right would likely start engaging in Timothy McVeigh style acts of terror.

          Seeing that he failed, we will probably still get that, except they have Trump to be the general giving orders.

          Look at all these down votes I have gotten for calling this kid a loser incel. Some of these down voters, considering the demographic of people who use Lemmy, are going to be the victims dying in the name of Trump’s revenge.

            the far right would likely start engaging in Timothy McVeigh style acts of terror.

            Sounds like they’re a dangerous bunch and 2nd Amendment people should do something about their leader.

            You got downvoted for the make our country worse part. He would have made it better no matter how YOU want to view it. The racist rapist with 34 felonies is not only a terrible human being, he literally wants to be Hitler. Fuck that, and fuck anyone voting for him.

              As a person who probably opposes Trump more than you, I would suggest that if you truly believe that, go do what the incel loser couldn’t.

              Until then, I will just assume your support of assassinations to enact your beliefs is just a thought experiment.
