Yes, two more assassination plots.

    It sounds like Trump becoming a martyr is a massive problem. Sorry for my ignorance, but would it be a problem to explain how?

      Trump’s camp is full of conspiracy theorists. Being assassinated would lead to many of his followers thinking it happened because progressives saw the danger in him winning a second term.

      The better option for politics in America is for as much of his actions to come to light as possible so his own followers can come to the correct conclusion on their own: he’s a liar and a fraud.

        I mean bless you but that ain’t going to happen.

        Many of those people need literally years of deprogramming and even then the prognosis is probably quite poor.

        What would be more helpful is to give high school kids a mandatory course in digital marketing and communications. Let them literally see dollars rolling onto an account after something is posted online and monetised. No one seems so distinguish between ads and facts anymore. Seent it on Insta? Shit’s as real as the air you’re breathing, to many people these days. Given the opportunity to understand why someone would post BS online and to connect the dots that it’s literally for a few cents of attention I think that society would change for the better.

        so his own followers can come to the correct conclusion on their own
