      It’s even worse if you suggest that it was a republican conspiracy attempting a false flag assassination attempt to boost ratings. An attempt mind you that was an inch from being a successful, and probably would have lead to a Democratic win with a presidency given a gun and the right to use it next cycle. Again Qanon would and had said such things in the past, and the rest of us called them crazy.

      And the instant, “he’s not one of US!, only republicans would think of doing something like that” Is kinda desperate.

        Well, I’m not saying it as a democrat for one thing. I’m much further left. Which you didn’t say, but I’m sure someone would have eventually, so I’m adding it in.

        I’m saying it because the whole thing smells like last month’s fish. The shot itself, the way it was taken, the convenient killing of the shooter, the timing, it all just makes me doubt this being a genuine attempt on his life. If that’s the case, the only conclusion I can draw is that it was an attempt by someone to raise the rabble to cement his worshippers anger.

        I could be wrong. I’m not saying this as some kind of statement of unchallengable fact. It’s just my gut screaming that there’s something hinky going on.

          The evidence wholly does not back your case!

          If trump was shot in the head, would you still say that it was an op to make the president more popular in the polls he was already leading? But opsie-doodle the marksman failed to correct for the wind that suddenly changed the trajectory by an inch and killed him damning our bid to consolidate power!

          Shooting an active shooter to death is the most consistent result of an active shooting. If they wanted to do a false flag assassination, one, their political affiliation would have been established, and, this is critical, WOULD NOT HAVE SHOT ANYWHERE NEAR TRUMPS FUCKING HEAD.
