  • Within the last two years, I’ve seen a lot of people outside of the United States saying that what’s happening IS the fault of all people in the U.S., and that “You voted for this,” or at least that we didn’t work hard enough to prevent it from happening.

    And I have spent SOOOOOO much effort trying to tell them.

    I’VE BEEN ALIVE SINCE BEFORE THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL, AND THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER BEEN A DEMOCRACY FOR AT LEAST AS LONG AS I’VE BEEN ALIVE!

    The choice between the Democrats and the Republicans and every election I’ve ever seen is functionally the equivalent of being presented a ballot that says:

    How do you want to be raped in the ass?

    1. WITH lube
    1. WITHOUT lube

    If you look at California, the Democrats have a LITERAL SUPERMAJORITY in California’s legislature, something like 2/3 or 3/4, and they STILL declined to move forward on universal healthcare coverage:

    The Republicans actually govern. They do it with negative intentions toward the population.

    The Democrats ALWAYS refuse to do ANYTHING meaningful, claiming that doing anything meaningful would prevent them from getting elected again.

    ALMOST ALL politicians having significant power in the United States are either Donald Trump, bought and paid for by billionaires, or are bought and paid for by Israel. And I am not referring to Jewish people. I mean Israel, the country itself. Just the country.

    The Democrats are controlled opposition. It is when you have a dictatorship which wants to pretend its a democracy, so it creates a party to act like opposition. But you can identify owned opposition by the fact that THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING EVEN WHEN THEY SEEM TO HAVE POWER, and EVERYONE’S BAFFLED AS TO WHY.






  • Actually, I think it could be something more sinister.

    IF his identity was real and he actually existed and he was up there with a gun, I don’t think he ever had any intention of doing what the claim says he was trying to do. On the other hand, I wouldn’t put it past the reasoning of right-wingers to either stage the whole thing, or for a lone right-wing kid to intentionally go there and aim for the person behind Trump, with the intention of making it look like what it’s been sold as.

    The kid could have thought “If I just do this, Trump will win, I guarantee it,” and he could have been expecting that he (the shooter) wouldn’t be making it out, but would have glory in assuring that Trump was elected.

    I don’t know exactly what happened in this situation, but I do know that ears don’t heal in the way Trump’s ear looks.
