I think they'd be saying all the same shit, but I think the crackdown would be coming a lot sooner as they scrambled to prove themselves "loyal to American values" or something.

Trump is enough of a dickhead that he is almost certainly going to squander a lot of the goodwill he's going to get from this, very quickly. He will probably be a little too broad in his response and come after targets so obviously wrong that some of the Democrats will push back, at least a little.

I do fully expect him to win, though, and be so incredibly much worse than he was the first time because he's going to be vindictive and legally invincible, and my immediate family is a little worried. All my son's friends are reconsidering going to university in-state, and we're looking at moving as a family to wherever he wants to go to school.

They would condemn the shooter and give republicans all the resources they need to arrest anyone they want. Then they’d tone down their rhetoric against the republicans

I’ve always imagined that if someone went on a massacre on Klan members during their ceremonies, liberals would pray for them.

The attempt succeeding would have been a good outcome.

The attempt failing is much much worse than it not occurring at all.

thoughts and prayers so sad lets ban guns

When Trump wins
