If you don’t want people saying Trump becoming president would end democracy, you’ll have to get Trump(ists) to stop declaring, in both word and deed, his project to end democracy. The next counter-sniper target might not be so amateurish. Had the shooter been required to wait another year to purchase his rifle, his actblue donation may have convinced him to make more and change his party affiliation from Republican.
Someone just attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump. We don’t know who, and we don’t know why, but we know they came terribly close to succeeding.
We should all be terrified about what comes next.
American politics has recently become trapped in a state of simultaneous stability and instability. It is stable in the sense that there are clearly defined and seemingly unshakeable partisan divisions. It is unstable in the sense that those divisions have grown so deep and so bitter that they threaten the basic faith in political coexistence that any democracy needs to survive.
“ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE IN ONE HOUR! When I take the rally stage, I could be making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT that’s sure to strike FEAR into the hearts of our DEEP STATE ENEMIES.”
