We are adults and have control over our emotions
The media won’t stand for reconciliation from either side.
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.
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’.
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."
I wish the Dems had kept their promise to hold off the attacks and act more civilized.
They did. For one day. Then Vance got nominated and once again Dems let loose with hatred and invectives.
Let the courts have a chance to do their work.
Take it easy. Retire if you can. Spend your money down. Don’t make more work for yourself than necessary. Don’t needlessly expand your business or buy a new house. Live well now because civil war would be hell.
There’s no beating communism head on.
There are people that know what to do. If you think you have to blast away with your AR-15 copy, stay home and keep your loved ones safe.
Make sure your young ones have a skill foreign countries want and can speak a foreign language.
im not after a civil war. i am after a method the old cattle barons employed. no pinkertons, but regulators.
all these folks that did all the puddingstick stuff, slow but surely aint there no more.
dont knowhow, dont know when, just aint there no mo’.
As it usually does, I expected the radical left to tone it down for the elections. I think they largely have; there’s much less Palestinian, BLM and Antifa activity than there was.
The assassination attempt has changed the rules. For now, I think the kid was just a deluded monster. But his actions have changed the calculus of the election. It’s hard to imagine the DJT won’t be pushed over the top with that event. How the DNC responds will dictate what happens next.
If the radical left feel marginalized by a ‘kinder’, ‘more moderate’ Democratic Party, they will act up. If the official antagonism continues, they’ll probably stay quiet and hope for the best. The DNC convention will tell.
After the election, expect the outrage of the month mentality to continue and be expanded.
If a strategy to remove Trump fails to work, the left always escalates to the next level.
I wrote elsewhere that between the pandemic, the 2020 riots and election and OSHA mandate, a lot of people just lost their touch with reality. I also believe a lot of folks kinda “gave up” on America.
I posted this article on Sunday - ‘A fundamental security failure’: How did a gunman open fire on a Trump rally?

Several FReepers were stunned at the MSM performing an actual act of journalism. As was I. I’ve seen a few “more “green shoots” in this spirit over the past few days.
Jesus spoke to The Apostles, to be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. There will always be wolves amongst us. But our hearts should not be hardened.
Every now and then your Dad would post a sort of “Time Out” to remind FReepers to be civil etc. It helped take down the temperature.
I am hopeful, that the media (having been ripped up for gaslighting America about Biden’s mental state) may indeed wake up. Advertisers may speak louder than liberalism.
In turn, maybe those lost souls of whom I wrote, may be able to see that we don’t have to call everyone not on FR a libtard or worse.
If so, we WILL have a chill summer. Thanks for listening.
Thank you for listening.
Voters have become aware of the Biden Reich’s lies, along with media. They also know who actually speaks to them about their concerns. They know they need and want a Warrior President (Dana Perino’s description of iconic Trump fist photo) to enact a winning presidential agenda. Sure there are a few darksiders to vote for Marxist tyranny, but the Trump landslide will take care of that. :)
