For all the people in this thread saying things like "Trump isn't as bad as other authoritarian leaders", "Nothing bad happened last time", "There's no evidence that he's a threat to democracy just because you disagree with him" etc.
All I'll say is I really really earnestly hope that you are correct - and I'm glad you seem to have so much faith that things will all be fine. With all genuine sincerity. Because it would be truly awful to come back on here in 2028, and listen to people say 'oh well, we couldn't have possibly seen this coming'.
Its irrelevant if you cannot win in the democratic theatre. Political violence doesnt solve things, it creates a big problem on its own. Those who take power by force or by weapons, good as their intentions even might be, would soon find their position non-compatible with democracy, because who does a violent revolution or dethroning only to risk empowered ones enemies trough democracy again? And if you destroy the legitimacy of democracy, your in shit creek however you put it.
That said, Trump IS a danger, that january coup d'etat attempt was no joke, amateurish as it might have been the intention is what counts. But democracy must be inhabited by people who are politicall concious, educated, and rational for democracy to thrive, whereas its also the failure of the people if things go down the drain trough such men. In many cases those men like Trump are just a kind of cog that can slip into a certain gear of society, social/political opportunity spawns the political opportunist. The people are the ultimate authority in democracy, and it is also their ultimate responsabillety, and that wisdom has to ake people to condemn the shooting and any attempt at alteration of political leadership that is not solely trough their democratic wil and then perhaps also recognise that our social and media landscape are an attrocious issue as just one example and also recognise that they ought to likely try doing more about it than complain and especially expect politicians to solve it all.
BUT
I shall not treat trump with respect. F him, oh the poor sod got shot at you got scared Donny? No compasion, no emphaty, no sensitivity. Because what is JUST is that "What Trump deserves to be done on him, Is what Trump did onto others". The application of the golden rule says that Trump would rather twist the knife than ever have symphaty or empathy for the grief of one of his rivals, that trump would put up a foul insulting and antagonisng mouth about it just for the sakes of it and then laugh at their tears if they came, and hence does not deserve the better treatment himself. Whatever Trumsters think they can go gaslight me into showing tact and respect and emphaty can go F themselves. I have no compasion for him, he really doesnt deserve it. The rather blunt wisdom that i'd say to him is "thats what you GET for being such a monumental Ahole, not nessecarily what you deserve, but neither what is beyond the realms of expectation and you damn well knew how much you were famming the flames hard yourself". All these things i, with my limited abbilety, i believe can be ethically justified and forms the form of concious political thought that one ought to spread for utilitarian purposes. Don't promote political murder, but please dont treat Donny, of all people, as so much "the victim" because its going to make me loose my dinner every time for the next 4 consecative months.
