    if you sit at the table with fascists, and don’t care whether or not they get to power, you are fascist too.

    As soon as I saw the picture, I felt like we were doomed. I’m still not voting for Trump, but that assassination attempt and the picture are, unfortunately, sometimes all that’s needed to sway an American voter.

    Like, he’s a rapist, convicted felon, bad bsuines man, mentally unwell, fascist, and a general boob, but they’ll look at that picture of him, fist up, blood on his ear, people trying to get him to get down, and then look at old man Joe and make their decision from there. If Biden truly cared about this country, he would step down. He’s been vice president and now actual president, but his performance this round has been terrible and he needs to face the reality of that instead of pushing forward for the sake of his ego.

    Edit: Just adding this since people think I’m saying all of Biden’s presidency was poor. I talking about his debate/campaign performance.

      At this point I need to hear directly from someone who was undecided before the assassination attempt, but now is voting trump.

      Not a single person has said that, just that they are sure its happening.

      Y’all need to figure out the difference between a guess and a fact for real. All emotion and no logic.

    I can’t vote out the career politicians who don’t give a shit about me because the other career politicians that don’t give a shit about me are worse.

    Can’t vote for a human because the wrong lizard will win and all that.

    The planets have just aligned for Trump recently between the debate debacle and surviving an assassination attempt.

    I will remain to be frustrated since these truths were all true as far back as January and only now, with everything on the line, are people willing to voice their opinion. I don’t care about the leadership, the voting public shit the bed here. They were led right down the road to fasicism and only now do they see the tide is overcoming them and are trying to fight it and while trampling and drowning each other in the process.

    You can’t get a crowd this big to swim upstream with only 4 months to the election you need to divert them to safer shores.

    They do realize that they would be the first to go in a fascist coup? The kind Trump’s Project 2025 openly threatens? Right?

    make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism

    They will, however, resign themselves to genocide.

    Vote out career politicians who dont give a shit about you and replace them with more career politicians who pretend to give a shit about you.
