I was chatting with the dad about this topic, and came to a conclusion regarding de-escalation: there is nothing Trump can say regardless of how well his unity message comes across because Hitler would say anything to gain power (eye roll), and there isn't much Biden can do, either. I think we're in this mess due to the MSM amplifying insane things for click$ which feeds the social media echo chambers where it is further amped.
I hate the thought that it's possible the future of our nation now lies solely in the hands of the MSM. Maybe I see signs that at least somebody controlling the programming might recognize that, maybe a war this close to home might be bad for advertising sales, and that maybe axe-grinders like Morning Joe should take a break, and the news reader on NBC seemed quite... fair, regarding the total failure of protective services for Trump.
Is that my imagination? Is there some hope we chill out? I do know cities will burn this November, but maybe, maybe... maybe... we can avoid a shooting war.
Your thoughts?
We are adults and have control over our emotions
The media won’t stand for reconciliation from either side.
We do, the other side does not
We will have a lot of Antifa/BLM looting, burning and kicking store owners to death, but they won’t get the excuse they need to declare martial law/civil war.
We are too close to winning to jeopardize it.
My thoughts? We cannot peacefully coexist.
That’s a simple fact. I’m an infantry vet. I’d rather use my skills again than let my kids deal with far worse odds down the road.
This isn’t going to get any better, and there’s no political solution. Voted it all in, but can’t vote out.
But notice what did not happen.
No protests.
No cities are burning.
No cries of revolution.
Our side respects law and order.

Now, if this had been bammy or biden....cities burning, "spontaneous" protests with pre-made signs, cries of threats to our "democracy", etc, etc.
I can assure you that these people took one shot and missed, next time maybe they don’t miss..I think that will push everyone over the edge...
They may set the tone if LE do not put them down first.
It’s not just the MSM anymore. The Leftists on social media like X and Reddit revealed their true colors with endless “It’s a shame he missed” comments. These people won’t stop even if the MSM does. Not that I think the MSM will. I think we are seeing a temporary reprieve from the hate comments in the MSM due to the shooting. It will probably last a few more days, at most, then back to calling him Hitler and a threat to democracy. But either way, the damage has already largely been done. The Left hates him and wants him dead. I worry about the safety of Trump and other Republicans this year.
There’s no winning at this point.
Any idea how many illegals and foreign foot soldiers are in the US right now? Hint, millions.
How are you winning that? There might be a reprieve, but there’s no winning.
We have been heading for a hot war for a long time. The left crossed the line on Saturday. If they try to steal the election again, I fear we will have a war. It will be the ‘shot heard around the world’.
Now, if this had been bammy or biden....cities burning, “spontaneous” protests with pre-made signs, cries of threats to our “democracy”,
Jews and Christians and Asians being assaulted by the left/antifa/blm on a regular basis-
All is lost. Nothing is possible. You should put yourself out of your misery.
The left is hellbent to sow chaos and discord, whether stoking up WWIII or kicking off civil war 2.0 or even just a summer of city looting tantrums over (insert cause they heard from tiktok here) they will do whatever they want to do regardless of what we say or do.
We can be the most peaceful people ever and they’ll defame us anyway and the media will defend their own lie.
What to do, well, trust God, do what we can do to keep ourselves and families safe, and be aware that no matter what we do the left will project on us whatever they are doing.
And right on cue, Biden is defending demonizing Trump as modern Hitler immediately after saying to cool the rhetoric.

I don’t think we will have a civil war, at least not yet. For one thing, we are completely unorganized. Let’s say they succeeded Saturday. So, what do I do? Where do I report for duty? Who is in charge?
You mean those sh&th0lz that people are abandoning in droves will burn?
I moved to rural TN 2+ years ago for this very reason. It's nice, and affordable. The other day I stopped by the nearest Walgreens (30 miles away) and, as I was checking out, asked the manager/cashier if she would hold my bag while I went back to their restroom. Her answer ... "Oh, we don't have any shoplifting here. Take your bag with you."
Reminds me of Demotivational Shia Lebouf
“Nothing is possible! Just give up!”
