Oh no, not you Dr Pinder! We all look up to you!

I don’t actually think Trump getting assassinated would do anything to quell the existential threat narratives that are the beating heart of the American left.

True, given the backlash.

But a nice heart attack would be another story

This is not a good look for you.

I don’t think a natural cause death would do anything to quell the narratives either. Those narratives are self sustaining at this point. People have forgotten what it’s like not to believe them.

There is no difference between that and wishing the shooter had not missed.

~~wishing~~ praying the shooter had not missed.

There is, because in practice the effects of him dying from, say, a heart attack or pancreatic cancer, would be very different from an assassination. Even this attempt will have a worse impact than a natural death, such is my prediction anyway.

If you think that there’s some link between these comments and the shooters action I’ll happily take the other side of that bet.

Mik

That’s your n defense? Someone said something worse?

You’re not talking to me are you?

lol. Yeah you won’t find that particular quote framed on the bedroom wall of the shooter. You’d win the bet.

Reminiscent of the claims back in the BLM riots that the most lawless acts were committed by people with “no official ties to BLM”. Like so many people carry around BLM ID cards, so it means something when someone doesn’t have one.
