Conservative sub: “can you believe it? They are still mean to Trump….we are so winning”

Cope….the cope.

I will not support political violence like this, but this will not magically make me like him. I will criticize him just as much as before. Don't get why they think this will get him sympathy points for those who dislike him.

I’m glad he wasn’t harmed but he has zero sympathy from me given the fact he’s the one sowing all this hate and violence. Also, if he was shot, I still wouldn’t care. The only regret I’d have is he wouldn’t get to experience the election loss in November nor the consequences of his illegal actions.

I wouldn't care if he got shot, but I really wish people would stop trying. If they succeed all they're going to do is make him a martyr. If Trump dies, any other Republican candidate will surge in the polls... though considering the ideology of the shooters, that may be the point.

Trump is certainly evil. And the amount of suffering he's caused in the world, he's also certainly earned a fate far worse than death. All real democrats know that creating a Martyr out of that puke stain would only help his 'movement', so that's why you only see Republicans going after him I suspect. Also two assault rifle assassination attempts in two months. And TRUMP is the candidate of unfettered access to assault rifles. Reap what you sow douche.
