Once again, political violence stems from Republican ideology.
To me if I had to bet this sounds like a classic case of the smartest Trump supporter (now I know that isn’t saying much) in the family having the spell broken, and disillusioned, getting extremely upset at realizing he and his family have been duped.
To hear how the media treats it, he’s bigly ANTIFA.
wtf is that photo of the shotgun and canister? some collectible from a horror videogame? why does it look so shit
I respect former magas who wake up but still stick to their 2a. Need more of them to wake up and go to aim training
So every attempt on his life so far has been checks notes a MAGAT.
And apparently liberals are the problem?
Seems to me they’re rapidly de-converted MAGAs that are completely lost and isolated (because they’ve been in a cult for 10 years) and full of vengeful rhetoric.
I have another theory, but it’s admittedly pretty out there.
Imagine you spent maybe a decade at this point carrying water for mr mango mussolini, and because of it family members and friends stopped talking with you…only for you to finally realise, in 2026, that you spent that whole time looking like an absolute loser braindead clown while you defended a treasonous criminal pedo.
But it’s the Liberals who have “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Well, it’s quite obviously actually. Alot of MAGAs are farmers and those are known for getting up very early in the morning. I’m just saying the line is long and they were first in line.
Duh, obviously this guy was a drag queen.
“Why aren’t Americans doing anything?” then y’all shit on the Florida Man creeping into the presidential palace with a shotgun and gas can
“Why aren’t Americans doing anything?”
Those are trolls trying to cause chaos. It’s obviously suicide if anyone does what the trolls are telling them to do.
- Alex Pretti, did nothing wrong and was executed after they took his gun
- This guy
It’s sort of why I’m vocal when I see those comments pop up. Remind them that it’s a stupid position to have to start with, anyone actually planning to do something knows what OPSEC is, and they know any action has to be extraordinarily precise, not just shooting at feds.

More people need to do this, anybody calling for violence on social media is either a provocateur/non-US National or a dangerously naive American who will cause more harm than good.
There are many roads to a good outcome through peaceful means, once someone starts to resort to violence the options rapidly become limited. Anyone who thinks that we should move into that second world is actively dangerous to everyone that lives in the US.
But it is a valid counter-argument to the validity of the second amendment. Even if you got a thousand or two of your well-armed friends together to topple the tyranny, you would likely only win the battle and not the war.
I don’t think we were talking about that?
No, it’s tangential to this, but still related.
Euro-Lemmings believe both that Americans are recklessly married to vigilante political violence and also that they don’t do anything ever, it just depends on whatever belief, at any given point in time, allows them to whine about the US.
Oh no. Not whining about the openly fascist government of America, those damn euros how dare they complain!
Yeah I whine about it a lot too, the point is that there is literally no action an American can take that’s correct. Do something? Rash, juvenile, doomed to fail, too violent, they should have large protests and walkouts instead. Protest in the street? Too civil, pointless, also doomed to fail, why aren’t Americans taking up arms by the millions to kill the government. Every action is the wrong one.
It’s your stupid monkey brain thinking that you are talking to ‘that one guy called internet’ instead of thousands of tens of thousands of different people.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only person to notice.
What you both are noticing is a tactic of propaganda called FUD. It stands for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
The goal of this propaganda is to promote a feeling of hopelessness, on a large scale this will decrease political participation (“why vote, it doesn’t matter anyway, laws don’t matter they’ll just ignore them, the idea in the OP is dumb and anyone who thinks this will work is too”). By targeting the social spaces of the opposing party (or all parties in the cases of some nation-states) the adversary can attack the morale of the population, disrupting or delaying a cohesive response.
It doesn’t take too much creativity (and now, with LLMs, absolutely none) to make posts that say some variation of ‘that won’t work and you are dumb’ on every topic. This is why you have this perception of a mass amount of criticism, it’s being fabricated at scale across all of social media (Fediverse spaces had a brief period of obscurity but are now part of the propaganda campaigns).
That isn’t to say that there are not legit criticisms, but they are being signal boosted significantly as part of these FUD campaigns.
I’ve been calling it the “Reddit Defeatist Brigade”. As your comment states it isn’t confined to reddit. I wondered if it was some sort of propaganda because it’s so prevalent. Now I know.
Maybe, just maybe that’s different people with different opinions and you’re lumping them all under one umbrella?
Hmmm, almost like that should be the approach with large, continental polities with a plethora of regional political subcultures in it.
Strawmericans, if you will.
He was just exercising his Second Amendment rights! And apparently the right to bear fuel as well. Maybe he just wanted to talk with his hero about the pizzagate evidence he’s sure must be in those files someplace. I’m pretty sure we only have the officers’ word he brandished the gun.
I’m beginning to think MAGA attracts mentally unsound people.
It definitely attracts Pedophiles.
Well sure, but wanting to kill the pedo in chief is pretty sane in my book.
“Right for the wrong reasons”
A broken clock can be kindle for gasoline, twice
Unfortunately the crazies tend to be crazy because of their poor critical thought, logic, and reasoning skills; meaning they’re largely incompetent as resistance fighters or assassins, which require a great deal of skill, planning, and logistics (especially in a surveillance state, targeting the most protected people on earth).
They make great kamikazis though, for those “one and done” situations.
No no, too early to decide that. Gonna need a couple dozen more extreme once in a lifetime violent events to be sure.
Beginning? I can read your sarcasm, maybe… but just to be certain, after little more than a decade, just now starting to think this?
That was definitely a joke.
I’m beginning to suspect it may have been
But it’s still the Radical Left who’s at fault.
He drove himself there in his own car, right? He “trans”-ported himself? Trump told us the trans community was dangerous!
Car had a trans mission. Bake em away toys
He often complained that young people needed more than one job to survive and had tried to start a union at his workplace to push for better wages.
Sounds like a radical lefty to me! Case closed boys.
You could read off a socialist manifesto and 90% of republicans would completely agree as long as you didn’t say any buzzwords. The mental disconnect is astounding.
That’s actually the point. They’re trained with a Pavlovian reaction to specific words. Their pundits and influencers have trained them with this twisted, inverted “Evil Sesame Street” programming to react with unhinged rage to specific words and phrases. In many cases they largely want the same things, but actually describing those things is impossible because of this conditioning.
It’s called the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
That phenomenon has definitely fnord been observed fnord for some time.
“Yup sure look like one of them girls that wanna be a boy to me… case. closed.”
MAGA idiots definitely
Enter the people on twitter who draw green lines on people and practice phrenology
So someone with a gun was forcing their way into a location which may have gov’t officials inside with clear intent, was confronted while trying to enter by armed personnel who gave the order to stop, and was then shot after not complying.
This sounds familiar. Think he’ll get funeral honours like Babbitt?
Gunman shot dead in Mar-a-Lago was ‘fixated on Epstein files’
Did he think they were kept in the bathroom?
That’s where I would look.
As predicted, the gunman was a armed, dangerous and stupid right winger. Actually too stupid to check if his target was actually on location.
One thing about a large supply of armed idiots is that this offers more chances. They only need to get lucky once…

That’s the description of every person who has tried to take a shot at Trump, isn’t it?

Sad that the best America has had to offer in terms of resistance have all been right wingers.
Fucking sad. 21 year old kid just getting started in life. Disillusioned because our government isn’t doing anything to fight corruption or help the average person.
Run they said to a promised land Run and find us a helping hand Don’t come back till the sun is gone Don’t come back till the war is won
We all set out with our hearts in hand A cold wind covered up a line in the sand All so young Nothing to lose Pieces of silver and a dead mans shoes
Called it when it was first announced. That’s 4 out of 4 now.
Batting a thousand MAGA! They’re number one!
