From the guy who whines about Democrats inciting violence by calling him a threat to democracy after he tried to overturn an election too stay in power.

Also republicans: shoot at Donald trump

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 74 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And why is it his fellow republicans that are doing the shooting?

My wife is in the "they're false-flag psyops" camp, whereas my position is "the ourobouros is eating its own tail."

My condolences. I don't think I could handle being married to a conspiracy theorist.

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Turns out, neither could I!

Must be the purging of the RINOs I've heard so much about

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

I think the vast majority of his current supporters are self-hating and want to make others feel as badly about life as they do - without realizing it, of course.

I could see someone coming to resent him while still holding the Republican “deplorables” identity. He is functionally above the law. Still ripping people off. Still pretending to be something he’s not and will never be. And they still have crappy little lives.

But who knows? I’m just a rando.
We’ll never know the intent or reasons of the first shooter. It’ll be interesting once the second guy’s story comes out.

Which party is it that has a culture of solving your problems with violence?

[–] mdurell@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

This isn't accurate. What they are saying is, "why isn't anyone shooting Kamala Harris."

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Former president and current chair of the face-eating leopard party shocked at the amount of hungry cats patrolling around their mansion.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 25 points 2 years ago

No no no not like that. You're supposed to let the tyrant win and then let them do all the tyrannical shit they said they'd do, then you buy your ~~cosplay outfit~~ defensive gear and get lit the fuck up by the military as is intended.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 21 points 2 years ago

You're supposed to fight the tyrant's troops, ergo other poors, not the important people!

[–] BaldManGoomba@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Republicans don't believe that they need guns to defend against tyranny. They think they need guns because they are mine, they are scared, fantasy fulfillment of defending property or killing people in public. The oligarchical overlords in the republican party believe in guns because the peasants will kill the undesirables that they pitched to fight each other. The guns were never meant to be turned on the upper class that control the world

Well yeah we all know that but.. that's what they say lol. "Defend against tyranny" sounds better than the truth. Even they're reallydontwanna smart usethisword enough to know that.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

Something Something Reagan, Something Something California Gun laws to keep guns out of the hands of Black Panthers

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

All of the rights on the Bill of Rights are good and we should support them all. Case in point ^^

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ha-ha, but this makes it seem like we don't understand that the republicans think their opposition are the tyrants and they're the patriots that'll defend it.

It really is as simple as "nobody thinks they're the bad guy."

I'm not saying they're right I'm just saying, this is the answer as to "why" if you were wondering

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The people at the top know full well they're the tyrants. They only need the useful idiots to believe otherwise.

lmao good one

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Trump's not a tyrant. He's just a lil dick-tater.

[–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 3 points 2 years ago

Remember humans. Grow a brain first. Grab a gun later.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Apparently the second guy merely hid in a bush with an AR, then left, and didn't shoot at anyone.

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The bit about him fleeing after being spotted seems to me like a detail that shouldn't be omitted.
