Donald Trump truly became president today. Kidding, but the part about everyone in Washington being there for public service, while obviously not true, really might be the most presidential thing he's ever said.

People aren't going to change their minds because some guy shot and wounded some congressmen and aides. Obviously the right wing radio nuts will scream to the high heavens but face it, the people who get their news from them are lost causes already. In one month at most nobody will even really remember this. It'll be drowned out by Trump saying something really dumb.

Chilichimp posted:The people who think this is going away are fooling themselves. Yes, Right Wing messaging is such an unstoppable machine that Trump has record low approval, Fox News is in a ratings tailspin, and the GOP can't actually pass any legislation despite holding all three branches of government due to their plans being so unpopular.

If this is in fact the shooter then the dude was a berniebro. The amount of planning and effort it would take to cultivate some perfect liberal facebook to use in a false flag attack to bring about the orange reich is literally unbelievable. At most, this turns out to be a case of mistaken identity.

Trabisnikof posted:You really think people don't advocate for violence against Nazis in this thread? The idea behind violence against nazis is to push them out of public spaces because you can't reason them down and they will end up being violent anyways, such as say in busses with knives. And while poo poo there is a valid argument for velvet glove/iron fist approach in political activity, GI Berniebro and his one man battalion doesn't really fit into either of those.

Xombie posted:I didn't say you underestimated it. It's the opposite. I said you overestimate how much it will matter. My apologies then for misunderstanding you then. In regards your stance that I am overestimating this I have heard that drumbeat from posters in this forum for three years now, and one by one they have all pretty much dropped off. Some hits over the years have bee: "Prester Jane, Trump is going to pivot he isn't that insane" and "The PP video's will be just one mroe thing the right will scream about and won't result in a war against PP" were good ones, but my favorite of all time was "The GOP will accept Gay Marriage because everyone sees the writing on the wall and outside a few token speeches no opposition will happen") I may not know much but I do know how the particular group of delusion reactionaries that control the right wing think, and I am absolutely certain that this event is a very big deal.

I think that people are freaking out too much, but I also think that it's bad that some braindead idiot decided to go and give the GOP a ratings bump I mean i know that idiocy isn't exclusive to one side but i'd hoped that our idiots would be able to contain themselves a little better

Alter Ego posted:Um *snort* I think you'll find that this event will make all that not matter. Ehn, this'll probably get the blood flowing and improve Fox's ratings for a little while, but the fact that this was resolved so quickly - no deaths, shooter arrested at the scene, shooter identified within hours, plus he's white and probably not Muslim - means it never got a chance to really stew and generate that really hot indignation the right thrives on. It's not like we've never had leftist shooters before anyway. This'll be remembered and exploited, but I highly doubt it's going to be a flashpoint.
