Trump shot, seen bleeding from his ear. Carried of stage.

Fuck man this might’ve just sealed the deal. He’s gonna talk nonstop about how he’s a martyr for the next few months and the Dems won’t have anything to say against it.

Historical fascist playbook says he'll use this as a means to jail political opponents/ dissidents. 
Shooter just jump started fascism into overdrive in the U.S.

Depends on who the shooter is. There are enough wackos out there that this could be a Nazi.

I know what the last few years have done to my brain, so beg pardon in advance...but...does anyone else think this whole thing smells fishy? 

It'll be interesting to dig into the backgrounds of the shooter &amp; the attendeess that got killed by secret service. I wonder when (or if?) names will be released...

I could go into all the details from the footage shown (so far) and what we've heard from official reports &amp; eye witnesses (so far), and why this whole thing feels ~off~ to me, but I know that's not productive so early on, and I want to remain as rational and neutral as possible until we hear more.

But. If it's all legit, and he got grazed by a bullet meant to kill him, then I must not know the guy like I thought I did - the pussy I thought I knew would've been SHOOK. Too shook to move, too shook to do anything that might put himself at risk for more shots, too shook to get right up &amp; use the opportunity like he did.

The way he bounced up and mogged for the crowd - I would've expected the guy to instantly duck out - and what's even more surprising - I would NOT have expected his team of agents even allow that. To not even allow a millisecond to pass, especially not to pause like they did. I thought they would've physically, aggressively, and instantly covered him completely (especially his head) and hauled his ass to the vehicle for cover, but they didn't. They almost seemed to pause, or go into slow mode, allowing what seemed (to me) a remarkably extended moment long enough to expose his entire top half, long enough for him to react for his audience. 

I don't know. Anybody else out there have similar thoughts, or am I just slipping down the rabbit hole?

Contrary to popular belief, law enforcement is not omnipotent. They failed in Uvalde, they can fail with the president. They fail all the time.
