Though I would like an explanation on why they keep failing spectacularly when a random kid took out Charlie Kirk with one shot.

You’re right, the only thing what amazes me is that how are people with so much guns so fucking bad at using it? They wouldn’t even hit the barn door unless there’s some school kids standing there.

Occam's razor is actually talking that theory with fewest assumptions is likely correct.

So let's see:

• the whole block where hotel is located was off limits, an armed guy somehow had no problems going through that to get to the hotel, carrying handgun, shotgun and knives he somehow convinced police that he supposed to be at the event
• when charging through metal detector they somehow managed to stop him without even wounding him, at somebody was brave enough to drop their gun and tackle a guy who supposedly shot at USSS
• no shotgun visible on the camera footage
• also, no other camera footage
• trump who was skipping every WHCD event decided to attend the one where a reporter supposed to receive an award for publishing his birthday card (taking about "beautiful secrets") to Epstein
• from the leak 3 days earlier we learned that trump was planning to leave the event early after giving a speech, fortunately for him the whole event (where the award should be given) was cancelled
• a coincidence that it comes at convenient time when everyone realized he fucked us up with Iranian war and is unable to unfuck it, but at least no one talks about
• a coincidence that it happens right during primaries that didn't look good for him
• they had access to his manifesto almost immediately

vs

• Have a guy run into lobby and claim he was a shooter to disrupt the event
• claim he shot USSS agent in the bulletproof vest (who can prove that didn't happen when this admin controls everything)

there are plenty of people who would want this corrupt despot dead

Yes

Trump is an evil lying piece of shit that would do anything to distract and divert attention to save his reign

Also Yes!

I think it's funny that up until now all the assassins came from his own people

It's not that we don't believe people want him dead, it's that the way the people around him have been talking about it is...weird. Especially that UFC guy.

As much as I'd like this wannabe-Hitler gone, I don't think he deserves to be a martyr, which he likely will be for this brain-dead MAGA crowd, once he's gone unnaturally.

I think it'll be better he dies an (ideally unhonorable) natural death, better soon than late...

You know the assailant wasn't in on it because he's still alive. There's no way they'd let him live to talk otherwise.

Exactly. The idea that it's a fake assassination or that the guy was "in on it" is silly. You just wait until you have someone that is actively on the FBIs watch list actually try it. Then just let them get close enough to make the news.

You don't even have to. All you need is a guy running into lobby, doesn't even have to be armed.

I'm still trying to understand how he could get in the hotel with shotgun, handgun and knives, when the whole block was off limits. I guess you could hide handgun and knives, but you won't exactly fit a shotgun into a pocket.

I've seen a lot of false flag operations on both Reddit and Lemmy, so none of this is surprising. In this instance, however, I think it's just a joke.

It's not about you. It's about online individuals validating their echo chamber the same way MAGA people do. Same people; different ends of a spectrum.

They just really need to believe it is so to the point that they'll dive into whatever narrative well before there's any information to critically analyse Sound familiar, huh?

The problem is the more they preach extreamism the more it comes true in until eventually it is the only logical path.

People have been doing this since the first time, it's baffling that people don't think Trump is hated enough to be shot.

Fight fire with fire baby.

What do you mean? It's conceivable that it could happen so it's definitely true!! /s

Definitely doesn't matter that trump would be too scared to do something like this, that's completely irrelevant.

Its a meme community... Its just supposed to be political and memes, I don't think accuracy is a factor.

Mutated sea bass.
