On the heels of an apparent attempt to kill him, former President Donald Trump called Sunday for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide recoiled from the shooting that left him wounded but “fine” and the gunman and a rally-goer dead.
Yes which is why I think he should be prosecuted for his crimes. If we go down the road of extra judicially killing anyone who you think is a terrorist then what kind of society do you think that will lead to?
What kind of a road do you think we’re on right now?
Imagine no more assassination attempts.
Trump wins.
Project 2025 is enacted.
Jews, Hispanics and LGBTQs are rounded up and thrown in concentration camps.
The signs are there. Are you going to still be sitting on a high horse right up until the moment it happens? What then, you turn around and stave off the fourth Reich with whoever’s left?
It’s not even about the moral issue, although I think murdering your political opponents is wrong. Just think it through practically. Killing Trump doesn’t stop project 2025. There’s going to be quite a few names on that list if you want to solve this situation through violence.
You have a process to prevent this from happening right now, the same one that prevented it last time. Ironically this attempt will likely just make things worse assuming there is no retaliatory violence from the other side.
The whole situation is super fucked up either way. I wish you all the best for your country, it seems like it’s going to be pretty bad for a while at least.
I think he should be prosecuted for his crimes too, but look around, that’s not what’s happening.
If the government cannot provide justice, the people will in their own ways.
I fear the path we’re on as a nation and world, and i don’t see an offramp currently. I cope by preparing for instability, not by denying the current situation. We live in interesting times.

Will you be happy then?

Thank you for giving your response some thought.
