He’s a fucking martyr now, great.

For the literal definition of a martyr, yes. For the political concept of a martyr, definitely not.

Just ask Steve Scalise.

Straight from the dictionary:

a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause:

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

He's not suffered nearly enough.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 1 points 9 months ago

Stormy Daniels is the fucking martyr.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 56 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey did they finally find the "good guy with a gun"?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 64 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I believe they shot him for trying to stop a criminal. Very sad.

God damn it... Get some better fuckin' aim!

Joe sent the orders

Please. If he had, he would have used a professional who wouldn't have missed.

"HOW COULD YOU MISS" is trending on Xitter.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

lmao

Don't worry, Musk will doubtlessly jump in to protect his fellow fascist and ban the tag.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Okay. Anyone know a professional?

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (3 children)

This isn't helping though. We've actually been very fortunate so far that the pro-fascism candidate has been such an incoherent idiot.

Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Attacking him physically like this only makes our problems worse.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Then again, would they find a successor as easily? After all, trump has a personality cult around him. Sure, the rational people don't like him, but do they have to?

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I don't think they would have any trouble. De Santis already tried, and probably would've succeeded if Trump hadn't ran again.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's not so easy to destroy a dead man.

The Peronists in Argentina are still successful 50 years after Juan Peron's death in 1974.

Would it have made a difference if they didn't?

Nothing inside anyway.

Oh, barely. An ear is basically a pull tab for the human face. One good yank'll do.

Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump's team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.

Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

He was bleeding.

If it bleeds...

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 6 points 10 months ago

It isn't pregnant?

TMZ has reported that he was struck by glass from the teleprompter and not directly shot/grazed: https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-rally-president-election/

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait he bothers with teleprompters for these rambling sessions?

[–] UristMcHolland@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Gotta make sure he hits all of ~~Putins~~ his talking points.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

There's no high road to take with this guy. He should get over it
