An anti-Russia, pro-Ukraine, nut job? Sounds like some who post regularly on here.

Another MAGA crazy tried to kill Trump again…

Yawn, as JD Vance said, it’s just a fact of life in America now.

Trump is fine and spending time with his new “adviser” Laura Loomer. Apparently a lot of close, one on one time.

Do some more research. He donated to ACTBLUE, a democrat nonprofit organization 19 times in the past since voting for Trump in 2016. People who make insensitive comments are the problem in this country.

Thank you for making that important point.

He voted for Trump.

Try again. MAGA is full of violent, unstable, terrorists.

You need to look in the mirror and the people around you. It’s a cult.

He wanted to vote for Republicans this year. Full stop.

He was a never-Trump Republican. Accept it.

A felon and fraud who incites violence from his followers and then gets thousands of them jailed gets threatened by one of his unstable, violent followers?

Just a ‘fact of life’ for MAGA world!

Don’t worry! Trump will do or say something so insane and stupid in the next several hours that everyone will forget about this latest ‘fact of life’ situation.

I just listened to a two-minute montage of democrats encouraging violence against Trump and republicans and you really are blaming Trump?? God-forbid if something happens to Kamala, you’ll be flipping out if someone makes similar comments.

Oddly, this guy appears to be a genuine Trump hater despite other poster’s assertions. He’s also yet another self deluded nut job.

“He’s also yet another self deluded nut job.”

Kind of what I would expect drove him to vote for Trump in the first place. Instead of him being loyal to the cult though, he branched off as a free agent loon. At best his support of Vivek/Nikki is indicative of him being a never-Trump Republican.

Ultimately though he’s nothing different than a lot of people living in MAGAland. Blind, slavish devotion to a cause they’ve fully absorbed into their identity, to the point where it has become a danger to others and detrimental to themselves at the same time. Maybe most MAGAts don’t point guns at people but their support of a wannabe dictator/strong man/fascist arguably has even more potential for destruction of life.

Ultimately everything happening today is what happens when bad actors pervert freedoms like speech and press to pump out nonstop propaganda and lies to warp peoples’ minds. There were plenty of thinkers who warned us of things like this, but here we are.

A trump hater who voted fur Trump?

Y’all can’t tell heads from tails anymore.

Trump and his non-stop flow of lies (mixed with years and years of Russian programming) have left you unable to make any sense to normal people.

Next thing you know, you’ll be saying Democrats are the ones spewing hateful, racist and violent rhetoric. Y’all have been gaslit that badly.

He is a disillusioned former Trump supporter. He voted for Trump in 2016. If you invite violent crazies into your cult, you better not disappoint them.

The Trumper pipe bomber, Jan 6th, two assassination attempts… MAGA is full of terrorists. We need to lock down former Trump supporters until we figure out what’s going on.

“White House executive chef José Andrés”

When Opie grows up maybe he will discover “facts”.

“I would, however, bet that Trump will be the victim of continued assassination attempts so long as he threatens the interests of the monolithic corporate-government conglomerate that’s assumed control of the governments of the western world in the post-war era.”

Christ on a cracker, Opie, Trump is the king of the “monolithic corporate-government conglomerate”

Assassination attempts will continue as more disgruntled former supporters see the emperor with no clothes.

The idea that Trump would be against a system he fully benefits from is pretty damn funny.

That Tenet money sure is nice, all it requires is putting on some clown shoes.
