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.
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.
That it does probably means that Americans deserve whatever lows their country will fall to.
My feelings weren’t mixed on Trump. I hope the next person has better aim.
I was just plain old sad about Richard Simmons, Dr Ruth, and Shannen Doherty. They all deserve better.
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
Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple bystanders dead.

they’re still people
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.
Yea americans forget that sometimes
The kind of “people” that are ok with killing most of the others.

The Nazis sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials were people, but they still deserved what they got
Yep, given the number of places currently ‘technically’ invaded by the country. I guess i guess everyone’s desensitised
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).
Dude is really going through the entire comment section and correcting people who use “bystander” instead of “Trump supporter”
Roughly my thoughts today: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/451/084/544/739/972/original/47d31a58ddc70f80.png
I’d say I have no mixed feelings…
What happened? Did we discover another exo-planet?
Some guy tried to shoot Trump. Tried. However, bystander died and FBI killed the shooter.
FBI or secret service?
Secret service proved itself once again to be the most useless.
“What the fuck do you fucks even do?”
“It’s a secret”
FBI
Nearly.
No signs of intelligent life?
Not mixed. Just disappointed.
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.
You mean this: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-use-poc-exploits-in-attacks-22-minutes-after-release/ ?
Pretty regular stuff if you ask me
No, there was an assasination attempt on Donald Trumpet.
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.
Funny enough, I wasn’t entirely sarcastic. I’ve seen some trump memes that day and suspected smth happened to him, but they were the 1st to explicitly tell it as far as I remember 😅
I rather it never happened. But him surviving is the worst outcome.
Yeah… Surviving that basically won him the election.
Yeah… Surviving that basically won him the election.
Not if everyone making this assumption gets out and votes, rather than staying at home and assuming they’ve already lost. The left outnumber the right after all. Losing is a turnout issue.
Kinda crazy to think Biden can still pull this off. Furthermore, it happened in PA, a crucial state.
You could run a cabbage, but if everyone votes for them they’ve pulled it off. Voting is the difference between winning and losing.

Without Trump, who do the republicans have? De Santis? Nah. Martyr means nothing if there’s no realistic second choice.
(Otherwise, the CIA wouldn’t have bothered assassinating political candidates in south America)
Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.
They are treating him like a martyr right now.
I’m getting a lot of Palpatine wannabe vibes from the left all of a sudden. Guess it’s a good thing Biden kinda looks like him now
Biden doesn’t look like Palpatine at all
You say that, until we all find out much too late that him and Darth Cheney were playing us all along
We’ve missed the exit for the third-best timeline that still involves That Guy: the one where Donnie bites the dust before the elections. Unless someone fills the guy’s plane with Anthrax or something like that, we’re still on track for locking in the USA as a failed state.
(the second best timeline with That Guy would be the one where he simply loses the election. The very best would be where the DOJ makes something stick against him & he’s disqualified before the elections.)
Let’s also face it, if there’s a candidate that’s so divisive that someone looks at the massive security apparatus for people like him and still think it’s worth trying to assassinate him, that would be grounds - at least for me - to re-evaluate whether the candidate is the right guy.
Having your own team trying to kill you says a lot too.
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.
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.
Damn this is how I found out. Extra sad now, thanks.
And Dr. Ruth! 😪
And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.
This Rhino must be talking to liberals.
Yes, and the Republicans who miss when their party wasn’t loony tunes.
Bah. They’re Republicans in name only.

Oh yeah, that’s right, I keep forgetting this is fashion commy territory and they use liberal as a slur like Republicans do with no self-awareness
You’re on Lemmy, outside of explicitly anti-communist spaces like Lemmy.world you’re going to find more leftists.
Leftists referring to Liberals negatively is standard leftism, as Liberals support the Capitalist status quo and stand in the way of progress. The fact that Republicans are even further right than Liberals and use Lib as a slur for people less right wing does not mean leftists are without “self-awareness.”
You could read theory if you want to, plenty of people would be willing to share tips and pointers, then you wouldn’t have to rely on edgeless snark.
It’s the same picture.
