So far am not convinced the shooter had any 'political' motivation at all. I note it's been reported that his father owned at least 20 guns, though.
Ban.I mean Jordan Klepper does go to trump rallies and he doesn't support trump 😂
Ftfy.Too bad we aren't a forum where posters areallowed to liehave an opinion without blowback.
Ftfy.
Ok. That is what i thought when i initially posted, but then saw his reply later talking about the shooter. Thought maybe it was me not following along lolThe subject was the fire fighter or the new troll can't follow a thread.
I wouldn't characterize a republic as a pure democracy as there are differences between the two.Is a republic a democracy?
No gotcha, just trying to establish if you're half sane or not.I wouldn't characterize a republic as a pure democracy as there are differences between the two.
In a democracy, the majority rules and their votes create law while the minority can be left unprotected.
In a republic, representatives, who are bound by rules of a constitution, are elected to create laws that protect the minority from the will of the majority.
Our system can more accurately be described as a democratic republic or a representative democracy.
I'm sure you already know these basic facts so let's hear your "gotcha".
Except right now the rules have been twisted to give the minority too much control. Republicans can hold majority power with minority support, and the minority can block almost all change even when >70% of the population desires that change.I wouldn't characterize a republic as a pure democracy as there are differences between the two.

Who doesn't love the tyranny of the minority....Except right now the rules have been twisted to give the minority too much control. Republicans can hold majority power with minority support, and the minority can block almost all change even when >70% of the population desires that change.
This is a meaningless distinction from an electoral perspective. Trump was found guilty of over 30 felonies by a jury of his peers.Well, until a conviction has been entered into the public record, there is still the possibility that it may never happen. Until it does, he is not a "convicted felon". I don't make the rules. That's just how the law works in NY.
You can call it what you like. You always have the choice to seek truth or to seek confirmations and affirmation of your feelings. When you choose the latter, don't be surprised to find that everything you believe is a lie.
When your opinion is ‘I’m okay with ending democracy’ what exactly did you expect?Ftfy.
Who doesn't love the tyranny of the minority....
I for one think greenman alone should make all the laws. I mean if going with the minority there is no bottom, until you get down to one person.
The victim (the person being talked about in the chain you replied to) was at a Trump rally. He got there early enough to be on stage. His wife told the NYP he was a big Republican and supported Trump. Him being a Trump supporter is pretty obvious.Any evidence for this claim? Or you are the source?
IDK, sounds sus. How do we know he wasn't a deep fake plant?The victim (the person being talked about in the chain you replied to) was at a Trump rally. He got there early enough to be on stage.

Allowing yourself to be shot dead for Trump is serious dedication to the role.IDK, sounds sus. How do we know he wasn't a deep fake plant?
Well, you know, we can't really know anything. Was this guy convicted and sentenced in a court for being a Trump supporter? Checkmate.Allowing yourself to be shot dead for Trump is serious dedication to the role.
"devot republican" I guess Trumpers do have a god they worship before the Lord God.He was a Trump supporter. This is what you're asking for evidence of? If the guy killed at the Trump Rally sitting in the stands with his family was a Trump supporter?
Seriously?
Well, the statement from his wife kinda solidifies that.
Dude...

I was fan of the huge spike in Trump Media shares (whatever that scam is called). Fucking rubes lining up for the slaughter.Stock market roars in response to Trump being shot! Good Republicans are good for business
I don't recall ever posting that statement.When your opinion is ‘I’m okay with ending democracy’ what exactly did you expect?
It's already broken. Trump's Supreme Court appointees saw to it.The democratic process will continue to function as intended, and the fringes will continue to proclaim that the other side is a clear and present danger that must be stopped.
The purpose of the system is what it does. In Greenman's view (based on his posting), minority rule by and for conservatives is perfectly fine. Like other conservatives, he doesn't have to face the consequences of his choices.It's already broken. Trump's Supreme Court appointees saw to it.
