Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

    This fucking shooter could set behind democracy in the US for dozens of years. Land the shots and you martyr him, miss and you galvanize his support. Seriously the conservatives were starting to shift away from the far right after Epstein documents and Project 2025. Now deep state wackos will NEVER go away and resort to crazier armed shit. Seeing people comment that the shooter ‘was so close’ is insane and makes them no better than political extremists.

        Canadian here.

        Your chance to save democracy comes at the ballot box, not by shooting candidates.

          Have “more shots” in the voting booth with Ranked Choice voting. First Past The Post voting artificially limits our magazine size to two shots. We deserve the right to have a standard or even high capacity magazine.

          More chances to stop the Republicans. More chances Republicans would pick a more moderate candidate. More representation. More freedom.

      There’s also a ton of very religious rhetoric being used about Trump now. He’s literally becoming the Messiah and a true religious hero fighting whatever evil is out there. God is saving him from bullets and what not. There’s going to be some interesting sermons in evangelical churches around the country these next few weeks. Yikes.
