As someone who used to behave as a rabid dog on this very forum using every opportunity to spew over-the-top melodrama regarding everything Trump, yesterday’s assassination attempt is a reminder of that embarrassing toxicity that had driven my past political posts, which I have regretted since about 6 months into Joe Biden’s tired sitcom of a presidency.
One should be able to disagree on policy without resorting to histrionics and dehumanization and participating in a collective “oh my God if he wins, it’s the end of democracy!” hysteria (fueled by the biased legacy media machinery), including over-the-top comparisons to the Nazi monster who had millions of people murdered (yes, I’d posted some of the Hitler memes myself, guilty as charged).
But it’s all just a scam to ensure up-for-grabs votes (and if you’re gay or black they think they’re entitled to them by default). Sadly, it’s playing with fire as it can lead to a tragedy.
A similar event took place 2 months ago involving our Prime Minister here in Slovakia. Though a leftie himself, he’s a conservative (therefore often mistaken for a right-winger by the Western media), whereas his opponents are US-style woke lefties who also love to hyperventilate and had painted him as the Ultimate Evil / Hitler prior to the assassination attempt that sent 4 bullets at close range into his stomach.
