How does a probably apolitical assassination attempt by an ill young man, who is a registered Republican, make the left violent and radical, or make Trump more tolerable to vote for?

Because, and say it with me now, "Propaganda fucking works."

You know Trump's rhetoric and policies really make we worry about the next 4 years but then again Biden is old and Trump got shot at. I'll vote Trump!

If you were swayed by Trump almost dying to vote for him then you were always going to vote for him. 

That said, it's a long time until November. Say you're an independent who is leaning Trump after yesterday and you tune in to the Republican Convention, do you really think you're going to hear policy discussion and speeches that are going to validate your decision to go to Trump? If so, you were always going to vote for him. 

I'm starting to see people really flustered with all the talk of the violence and upset that we're in this moment.  If they bother to pay attention and are really upset about the violence, they will hear one party keep pushing violent rhetoric and one not.  Maybe they'll figure out the right way to vote based on that.  They are more likely to pay attention that the 20-year old was a loner with right-leaning sensibilities who went and bought a gun that the Democrats have asked to outlaw.  There's hope reasonable people will get off the fence.

The ones who are all "BiDEn dID It!?" were voting for Trump anyway.

On CNBC this morning Luntz said the big moments like the debate and the assassination attempt haven’t really changed the polls because there aren’t many undecided voters. But he speculated that Trump could get a 1-2% bump in turnout.

Still an unhinged lunatic

It feels like his own words and whatever the speakers at the RNC say this week may eliminate his uptick in polls.  Gut feeling.

It’s going to be unhinged and violent. They can’t help themselves

False.  His base likes it.  The increase in polling isn't the problem here - it's the increase in turnout and enthusiasm.  He's getting it, and will keep it.

True.  Because it is who they are.

And worse, it's what a majority of voters in key states want.  We have a country where a majority of voters - where it matters - WANT VIOLENCE, REVENGE, AND RETRIBUTION.  They want oppression and punishment of any and all who are not like them, do not fully join in their cult, etc.

Remember: it only gets worse, and there is no bottom.

Exactly and right now a lot of people are really fed up with violent talk.  So, that may be his undoing.  At the same time, it may fire up the worst of his base.  We'll see.

Yes, his based likes it but I know of someone on my street who has R leanings who now is like, "F it... I don't want to vote for either of them".  It may also drive D turnout.  I don't know.  Who knows anymore!?

Duh, it was Vance or Burgum.  Scott, Vivek, Rubio and Noem were delulu for thinking it was going to be them.

Today‘s episode of It Could Happen Here offers some useful perspective on the upcoming election and potential second Trump term. Tldr: don’t panic.

 

I listened to 10+ minutes then read the transcript. This guy is wrong and this episode was recorded prior to the assassination attempt and the dismissal of the documents case. There is every reason to think that the most heinous and evil shit is going to happen if he's re-elected. It was the same fear of re-election in 2020, imagine if trump had been president for another 4 years how much irreparable damage would have been done to the country or if there would even be a country left. He's a complete lunatic who rampantly abused the office of the presidency. We are well beyond theoretical victories and into tangible, planned and placed victories that are impossible to stop because the judicial branch is bought, paid for and placed by his lackeys. Congress is MAGA AF and obstructionist at best and completely unhinged at worst. The Biden Admin started the unfucking process, but it even looks like with another 4 years, more justices on the supreme court and some reversed decisions the damage for decades to come has already been done.

my dad is a navy man, pentagon guy, defense industry all his life sort of figure.  if you asked him his favorite president, my best bet is you'd get something like eisenhower.  he told me he is a "none of the above" this year.  we don't ever talk about who we voted for because he's also very much a believer that that sort of stuff is intensely private.  but he knows how disgusted i am by trump co and so i think he tells me that because he wants to make sure i don't think negatively of him like i do of all other trump voters.  

i can't tell you whether he voted for him in the past.  i can say he definitely wouldn't have voted for hillary.  don't know about 2020.  but the point is, yeah, there are still some peeling off of voters that is happening on the right.

And if you're someone who wasn't going to vote because you have zero faith in Biden but Trump and the right is just too radical? Now, "the left" is just as bad, just as violent, if not more so. The both sides heroes are going to milk the shit out of this.

Any chance at this point Biden doesn't make it to election day?

Maybe you should have listened to the last ten minutes, when he talked about the assassination attempt.

Smacked his head on the podium as he quickly ducked down to avoid the gunfire?

I'm going with razorblade between the fingers  - cut when he reached back for his ear. I mean, it's hard to out-crazy the right on these things, so this is where I am starting.

To be honest, I'm starting to circle back on my idea that this was all a sham "assassination" attempt to drum up additional support for their God-like leader. I had a post on Saturday that went something like this:

TRUMP STAFFER: "Um, sir, in order to pull this off and make it look as real as possible we're going to have to actually kill one or two rally attendees."

TRUMP: "And?"

Hey, it's no sillier than the alt-right's Q-inspired whack-a-doodle conspiracy theories. Hell, I'm seeing reasonably intelligent -- misguided or poisoned, of course -- people on social media claiming this was all on Biden's orders and the SS stood down to allow it to happen. (Forget the fact the shooter Biden and the "Deep State" chose was booted from his HS rifle team for being such a terrible shot.)

It's the exact theory Q would put forth had the attempt been on Biden.

The guy shoots like a storm trooper.

Trump was absolutely shot, no more nonsense about him not being shot or time off. Until there is some type of official information from a US Government agency he is shot, the president says he was shot the USSS says he was shot everyone says he was shot. no more of this nonsense.

They should use him for disinformation. 

They should put one crazy thing in the briefing and see where it spreads.

Security Briefing Page 6
“We have been tracking a large, lizard-like creature in the waters around Tokyo. Our current belief is this creature is the result of atomic weapons use during WW2.”

I'm pretty cynical about polls, but Biden doing poorly while down ballots doing better makes sense in the context of debate fallout.

Burger and Rubio have been told they aren’t the vp pick. Annoucement in 2 hours

As far as those polls, I’m not sure what Biden can do to make up ground or if that’s even possible. I can definitely see a scenario where people vote trunp for president but vote dem everywhere else.
