originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 3 months agoFair enough no hard feelings. The simple fact is we don’t know the motive. We assume but it could just as well be an obsessed fan (a la Selena) as a republican who thinks Trump isn’t extreme enough as a leftist who wants to take out a fascist. Those motives ascribe different responses. It’s also a little naive to think that you could just ignore an assassination attempt. I understand ignoring trumps day to day antics, but this is bigger than those.

It’s worth noting that Teddy Roosevelt was able to more or less ignore a much better attempt, and even call for the assassin to not be harmed. Though I suppose more resilience is expected of progressives. 🙃

Donald Trump is no Teddy Roosevelt. Not a tenth of the leader. Teddy Roosevelt was a flawed man, but an incredible leader, and he ignored every inconvenience or barrier in his life. Being shot was like a cloudy day or a hill: just push through, it’s irrelevant.
