Comment on Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage

Reagan got shot and had the biggest win in US history.
This timeline sucks
Thing is… he was possibly even shot by a right wing voter.
He’s promised suffering at a minimum to women and immigrants (so the majority of the population).
He’s raped women and I suspect he’ll fire the last few supreme justice judges who don’t agree with him. Don’t forget, his only running to avoid prison at this time. They’re the only ones who can override him and put him in prison
But even any sensible ring wing person doesn’t want a dictator in charge
Reagan was shot 3 years before the election.
And…?
The election cycle is only 4 years long? It was forgotten by then.
Reagan won so many states because Mondale was extremely unpopular. He was Carter’s VP, and Carter had been successfully painted as our weakest president by Republicans. Mondale also gave a speech where he said he would raise taxes.

And this time he only has to beat Biden, which was already swinging in his direction.
