This came out so perfect part of me wonders if there is a god and I am some poor sinner getting punished.
Like, fuck man. This assassin missed and hit all of us. This is everything they want and you can pick out a number of other photos a lot like it that where incredible. These last two months basically lined up perfectly for Trump.
It arguably could have been worse if they'd killed him. Opening space for someone just as vile but actually intelligent, who could easily just roll through to president on the back of "Saint Trumpf the Martyr"....
Yeah, one of the redeeming qualities of Trump is that he's incredibly stupid, and refuses to let advisors correct him. Makes him super ineffective. They had control of white house and both chambers and they did just limited damage.
As someone outside of the US, I would say that the fallout to other countries is substantial. Not due to policies, but rather rhetoric.
Where I live, neo-nazis used to hide-- but now all the bigots, emboldened by Trump, are organizing. The right-wing opposition party leader walks among them and isn't immediately shunned/removed. This is echoed around the globe.
It's hard to say if Trump is the cause or the effect of that sentiment...
Both. Real life is complicated.
