Why are they conceding to their opponent? Are they stupid?

They're being pragmatic. They don't want to waste the political capital to dethrone Biden only to come up against Trump in an election that is pretty much locked-in for a Trump landslide after yesterday. They're thinking about 2028 now.

They've consistently pushed that there won't be a 2028 if Trump wins and while this bolsters Trump I don't know if it locks him in because he's the same despicable POS.

The Democrats don't seriously believe that this will be the last election. 

A ton of them are planning to run in 2028 that's what Newsom and Whitmer are doing.

Unfortunately I think it does lock Trump in to the win.

1. He reacted to an assassination attempt by defiantly getting back up and throwing his fist in the air and screaming fight towards his fans. His fans then stood up started clapping for him and started cheering wildly and chanting USA. 

If you saw this clip in a movie you would roll your eyes at how ridiculous it was and you would say to yourself nobody responds to an assassination attempt like this. 

No matter how many liberals and leftist deny it Trump looked so fearless and so strong. It's literally the greatest political moment in American politics I've ever seen. 

Live ammunition hit his ear and almost blew out his brains and a couple of seconds later he was on his feet with his fist in the air screaming fight with his audience around him cheering for him. 


I despise Donald Trump and know all of the horrible policies he implemented. I was impressed. I can only imagine how impressed men who don't follow American politics at all felt about Trump when they saw that clip. 

2. It's going to be really hard to criticize Donald Trump going forward. Everybody's going to browbeat people who say he's a threat to democracy and that he's dangerous or that he's a fascist or comparing him to Hitler. Anyone that criticizes Trump for his obvious fascist tendencies will be accused of stochastic terrorism. 

3. A big claim of the DNC is that Trump is the greatest threat to democracy. This argument will be really hard to make now as he's leading in the polls and was the victim of an assassination attempt. 

People who don't follow politics will see him as the victim of persecution and it will naturally blend into the narrative that he's being persecuted by the judicial system. 


Overall yesterday was a disaster for the Democratic party
