So Please People Just Campaign And Vote Blue And Everything Will Be Fine - Tumblr Posts
I doubt Trump's going to get any sympathy votes because:
He's a sociopath and will remind everyone of that immediately.
MAGA Republicans are currently on Twitter blaming Democrats and trying to stoke more violence, meanwhile Democrats are offering their sympathies, and Independents will see the difference.
Getting hit by a piece of teleprompter glass kind of kills the whole "badass" image lmao
The "sympathy vote" after an assassination attempt just isn't a thing. Didn't work for Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, or George Wallace. And if Teddy Roosevelt - who actually was shot - can't win an election on it, Trump really can't.
America is so polarized that most people have basically already decided, and the ones that haven't are the ones most likely to be put off by the calls for violence and hostility.
Yes yes, I too am very sad and annoyed that Trump is not dead, I got all breathlessly excited and queued up "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" to be ready for a great announcement, and then I didn't even get to play it. It's a huge bummer.
However, step two of this huge bummer is NOT "Oh no and now his fandom will be EVEN MORE ANNOYING, we have basically already lost :((((" That is the devil speaking. Step two is to say "Ah heck, his fandom is going to be even more annoying, better FUCKING VOTE AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE I KNOW ALSO VOTES" Stop your worthless defeatism, stop your stupid pessimism, stop trying to GIVE UP AND SURRENDER just cause one weird thing happened.
GO VOTE, IDIOTS
