I don’t know why everyone’s saying this guarantees a trump victory. Who the fucks mind is this changing?

Centrist and right-leaning normies whose only objection to Trump is his personality and/or the fact that he was convicted of a crime. This image of him being a brave martyr putting his body on the line will supplant those impression.

Also, one of the biggest objection to Trump is that he's a danger to democracy. Now that he's a victim of ostensibly political violence, the right has an opportunity to paint the liberals as the side that actually perpetrated political violence. So at best, instead of seeing the Trump Republicans as the danger, they'll "both sides" the issue, and lean into their reactionary tendencies.

I don't think anyone cares in America where mass shootings in this day and age are so common. It's not 60 years ago or whatever. Gun violence is so desensitized now. It won't change many people's minds bc who cares
