We should hire an assassin or something
BTW, The "they" he is referring to were all republican voters, Trumps own party. Well the two legitimate attempts were Trumps own voters, the third guy was just some weirdo miles away from a Trump event that was caught with guns at a traffic stop, to which Republicans claimed was another attempt.

I am holding everyone here responsible for the death of net neutrality, the death of the environment, the deaths of millions due to the outlaw of vaccines, and the death of federal protections against segregation, when all of those things inevitably happen. Maybe not in the next 4 years, but by god, it definitely will later down the line, all because of this election cycle. All because of people like you. You will find some way to defend those things as either:
  1. Not being real,
  2. Not being Trump's fault,
  3. Not being a big deal, or
  4. Being a good thing actually.
Just today, I saw someone say Trump isn't sexist, all because he just hired a woman as his chief of staff. Disregarding literally every single sexist comment he's made and action he's done since, what, the 80s? Apparently you people operate under the outdated assumption that bigotry is not an institution, and that affording certain groups basic civil liberties means it doesn't exist. The mindset of "racism ended in the 60s". You can't fathom the idea of sexism having more nuance than the cartoonish scenario of beating your wife and telling her to get back in the kitchen.

You'll eventually start to wonder why the only friends you have are people who only get their news and information from conservative conspiracy-theory echo chambers, just like you do. You'll start to wonder why you can't form any kind of meaningful relationship with a woman, because you're either on the "sigma grindset" or you think you're too much of an "alpha male" for them to handle. And finally, you'll start to wonder how deep the "woke agenda conspiracy" goes if everyone on the entire fucking planet, save similar socially-backwards countries like Russia or China, is telling you you're wrong.

I'm done humoring this "respect other people's views" bullshit. I'm done with right-wing acceptance. There are right and wrong answers, good and bad solutions, to almost every single political problem in America, and I'm tired of pretending there aren't.
Imma be real with you. You are looking just as unhinged as those you oppose. Slow down and step back, maybe touch some grass

It would be a hell of a lot worse place to live in. Trump would:
  • Easily surrender US to Putin and/or Kim Jong-Un
  • Not care about climate change (complained about clean wind energy or windmills decreasing bacon consumption, remember?)
  • Discriminate non-white races and women
  • Deport millions of immigrants (many of which are the backbone of many jobs and workforce)
  • Increase prices on everything because of increased tariffs and letting greedy corporations to price gouge.
  • Dismantle the Department of Education
  • Put all his opponents in jail like a dictator
  • Tax cuts for his rich allies
  • Tax increase on the middle-class
  • Remove the Affordable Care Act
  • Possibly make it so that voting no longer has any power to elect anyone outside of his corrupt party.
  • etc.
He is a threat to the US and would definitely affect the entire world as an extension of the US's global influence.

Of course, if he does become elected, he won't be "leading" for long with his deteriorating physical and mental state. He'll let his cronies handle it as outlined in Project 2025.

Yeah. You think the country section was where I am now? No no no no I put that as my nationality, my race, my kind, all that.

And you know what, let me speak my opinions
  • Easily surrender US to Putin and/or Kim Jong-Un
Okay what part of his first term did he ever shown weakness that he would, "easily surrender" towards our biggest threats?
And then there's every other part of the world who suddenly has a change of heart and becomes a pussy towards America now

  • Not care about climate change (complained about clean wind energy or windmills decreasing bacon consumption, remember?)
Yeah no that was pretty embarrassing I'll give you that
  • Discriminate non-white races and women
Yet he gained more black votes than any republican candidate
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-black-voters-gains-results-1982939
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024...esults-how-black-voters-shifted-towards-trump
And the only women he discriminates is Rosie O'donnell
  • Deport millions of immigrants (many of which are the backbone of many jobs and workforce)
The illegal ones, starting with criminals (Which that's a big topic, because I do believe the immigrant system in America is pretty shit)
  • Increase prices on everything because of increased tariffs and letting greedy corporations to price gouge.
There's still an unemployment rate in the US, labor is cheaper in other countries so many businesses would put their factories outside of the US and we're forced to pay a fine get those imports (Hence why prices here are up, more people are selling necessary goods outside while we're struggling in some areas where we don't have enough resources to keep up demand or labor to manufacture them) Tariffs would help us gain some profits, like 20% or so (Not the exaggeration 200% Trump claims as that would make every country go bankrupt)
  • Dismantle the Department of Education
Project 2025, not written by Trump, written by enthusiasts and they're only ideas (A pretty terrible one though)
  • Put all his opponents in jail like a dictator
Yeah I'll give you that one too
  • Tax cuts for his rich allies
From that one clip alone that the Kamala campaign constantly used, only time will tell on that one, but as of now the only reason it looks like the Rich pay less taxes than Middle class is because the middle class don't contribute much to the income tax receipts
https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/
https://usafacts.org/articles/how-this-chart-explains-americans-wealth-across-income-levels/
Though more tax cuts would be really really really sweet (I mean who doesn't love no taxes?) And most importantly a better distribution of tax refunds
  • Tax increase on the middle-class
Why tho? And we're still under Trump's tax cut from 2017, the biggest one
https://scholar.harvard.edu/chodorow-reich/publications/lessons-biggest-business-tax-cut-us-history
  • Remove the Affordable Care Act
Because Obama Care has major issues and an increase of privatization would help each citizen get the right healthcare they need instead of receiving what everyone gets, though that's again a big topic to discuss so leave it up to debate
  • Possibly make it so that voting no longer has any power to elect anyone outside of his corrupt party.
Oh like you looooooove the electoral college system instead, where our founding fathers designed it where only the powerful ones in real political power can vote (Remember 2004 where 1 vote went to "John Ewards"?)
Hell, the closest someone got to abolishing the system was a Republican (Nixon) but that killed by a filibuster
