   The shooter was a registered Republican.

     @InkySchwartz @Waitnwallflower

     #trump is merely a broken twisted old man

     but this shooting and his survival, to a mind that only operates in signs and portents, superstitious fools, the kind to be indoctrinated into #MAGA which is more quasireligious cult than political movement, this elevates him to god status

     the devotion is going to rocket through the roof

     any hope that the years have quelled the passion for trump, that they will peel off and not #vote, is utterly gone

     Yes. And they're still a minority of the totality of eligible voters in this country. It's still a voter turn-out game, whether Trump is a mere cult leader or a God. Everybody keep rowing!

     the #MAGA mind is conspiracy theory addled

     right now that fever swamp is at 1,000 degrees working overtime

     a little detail like the fact the shooter was a #republican might make you think they'll blink, or introspect

     right?

     nope

     facts and reality don't mean anything to the cult

     anything and everything will be twisted to serve a narrative for #trump

     and they will find a way to use the shooting as surely as the #reichstagfire was used to usher in #nazi germany

     @benroyce @Waitnwallflower Yeah because thenreality in short is this. https://apnews.com/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024#00000190-afde-debe-aff0-ffff2fb60000

     So that would make great fodder for a nutter.

     He was already a martyr to his cult. This photo will just add to the heap of his other "superman" photo ops (WH return from hospital, upside down Bible, etc). He's a conman obsessed with promoting a certain image.

     But like the other photos, it will have no impact on the rest of the public. But we can counterprogram too. Let's focus on how old, weak and deluded Trump is ...he can't even stay awake in his trials 🤣

     @Waitnwallflower @benroyce @TCatInReality @InkySchwartz I think these 2 comments contradict each other:

     “but it won't shift the rest of the populace.”

     “corporate media is easily manipulated into spreading his propaganda and counter programming.”

     The post-shot fist pump image is already becoming “iconic”. I think he just became a living martyr to a lot of people who were somehow on the fence.

     I just reeeeally hope I’m wrong.

     Elledeeay repeated this.

     I think too many people are not actually paying attention and that the equity of the last name has more influence than the reality of what he is/stands for.

     The devoted were already fully committed. Sure, it will take him to a new level, but it won't shift the rest of the populace.

     The devotion was obvious through the indictments and trials. Trump is a master propagandist and his team create daily/hourly loyalty tests to ensure no one has a moment to reflect.

     Sadly, corporate media is easily manipulated into spreading his propaganda and counter programming.

     Just because Trump's cult and propagandists will push the perception of his invulnerability and inevitability does NOT mean we need to let them.

     Keep on message, Trump is:
     - a convicted sexual assaulted and defamer
     - a convicted fraudster
     - owes hundreds of millions of $
     - can't run a business or charity in NY
     - stored classified documents at his club
     - incited an insurrection and endorses violence
     - the LOSER of the 2020 election

     @TCatInReality @InkySchwartz @Waitnwallflower

     zero argument

     what i fear is the blowback, how they will use #trump's "martyrdom" to push #fascism harder if he is elected, out of "revenge"

     anyone not aware of how dramatically the stakes have been raised is in a coma

     everyone, absolutely everyone, *must* #vote

     absolutely zero excuses not to now

     no one can say they are unaware of what's coming if trump wins
