He’s a fucking martyr now, great.

For the literal definition of a martyr, yes. For the political concept of a martyr, definitely not.

Just ask Steve Scalise.

Straight from the dictionary:

a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause:

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

He's not suffered nearly enough.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 month ago

Stormy Daniels is the fucking martyr.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 56 points 1 month ago

Hey did they finally find the "good guy with a gun"?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 64 points 1 month ago

I believe they shot him for trying to stop a criminal. Very sad.

God damn it... Get some better fuckin' aim!

Joe sent the orders

Please. If he had, he would have used a professional who wouldn't have missed.

"HOW COULD YOU MISS" is trending on Xitter.

lmao

Don't worry, Musk will doubtlessly jump in to protect his fellow fascist and ban the tag.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Okay. Anyone know a professional?

[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

This isn't helping though. We've actually been very fortunate so far that the pro-fascism candidate has been such an incoherent idiot.

Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Attacking him physically like this only makes our problems worse.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Then again, would they find a successor as easily? After all, trump has a personality cult around him. Sure, the rational people don't like him, but do they have to?

[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't think they would have any trouble. De Santis already tried, and probably would've succeeded if Trump hadn't ran again.

[-] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's not so easy to destroy a dead man.

The Peronists in Argentina are still successful 50 years after Juan Peron's death in 1974.

Would it have made a difference if they didn't?

Nothing inside anyway.

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The universe might have imploded from the sudden imbalance between mass and un-mass (the opposing axis of the "dark matter" posit). We might count ourselves lucky ¹.

Oh, barely. An ear is basically a pull tab for the human face. One good yank'll do.

Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump's team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.

Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 month ago

He was bleeding.

If it bleeds...

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

It isn't pregnant?

TMZ has reported that he was struck by glass from the teleprompter and not directly shot/grazed: https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-rally-president-election/

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Wait he bothers with teleprompters for these rambling sessions?

There's no high road to take with this guy. He should get over it
