No one is surprised about the attempt. In fact, some might be wondering, "Why only now? Or why did the shooter have to be someone so inexperienced?"
That's the thing . Trump is lacking in subtlety . He speaks intemperately about becoming a dictator , and persecuting the so called radical left antifa , and then his minions in the Republican party act all shocked when not only is he made out to be a fascist who is a danger to democracy , but that someone would take it upon himself to preemptively take direct action to eliminate the threat posed to our rights , and even our very lives , by a second Trump administration . The only people who wouldn't be at least tempted to resort to such a drastic deadly measure , would be
pacificists , such as myself . But for anyone else , they might follow the example of
Georg Elser , whom attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler early on . Had he been successful , the Holocaust and World War II might not have happened , but then also those I like to refer to as lily liver liberals , with their genteel sensibilities , would have been deriding Elser as being an example of the looming
red menace , which Hitler was setting out to thwart . Then the western powers would ally with Germany , in the
Anti-Comintern Pact , which would exemplify the liberal fascist bargain . This is what I imagine would have likely happened in an alternate historical timeline . But in this timeline , key Republican figures have been blaming the rhetoric of Democrats for inciting the attempted assassination of their dear leader , Donald Trump .

Like , if Aselin Debison had been American , and still covered the song " Moonlight Shadow" , she might have faced expulsion from school , and her album carry a parental advisory label , I am afraid.
