That would mean that 80% of Americans should not have jobs.

Admirable principles.

Regardless, if you called for assassination 100 years ago, I'm pretty sure you would be fired. That definition of cancel culture is so broad that it would cover every period, and that will not help distinguish the madness of the past 10 years or so.

But granting that this is cancel culture, these instances should still be sharply distinguished from what the radical left has engaged in, because they will use this to claim that 'we' are just as bad as they are.

By that definition, there's always been cancel culture though. If everything is X, then nothing is X.

If the right were getting people fired for perfectly ordinary left-wing opinions supported by a majority of people, that might count as cancel culture. Like "I support single-payer health care" or "ban assault weapons [sic]".

Getting people fired for advocating the assassination of a president, whether it is right or wrong, is not 'cancel culture'. Who here would be surprised or outraged if a company fired someone for publicly advocating the killing of Joe Biden?

You're not wrong here, can someone explain why this is downvoted? (EDIT: this was at +1 -2 at the time)

Basically the only two things that he got right was Israel and Kyle Rittenhouse. That's basically it.

I'm not exactly hiding either my support for Trump or that for the local "far-right" party.

Normies prize their relations over politics. Or they wouldn't be normies.

The guy backed Armenia against Azerbaijan. Could that be it?

I don't pretend to know with so little evidence, but that does not require me to accept theories that seem rather illogical.

If for example a coworker you don't like says something like "too bad he missed" it may behoove you to act "shocked and disgusted" in front of HR who (even if they too are sad he missed) now will probably be obligated to take "glorification of violence" much more seriously than two weeks ago now that first blood has been drawn.

Maybe it's me just being a cuck, but I don't like screwing over co-workers even for 'bad opinions'.

The following is definitely me being a cuck: I actually feel sorry for people who want DJT dead. They've been so brainwashed that they think Donald Trump is the cause of their problems. I saw a video of a middle-aged, woman at a cash register being confronted over opinions online. A woman who was obviously poor and miserable. Should she lose her job, and what little she has, because she believed the media?

The Inquisition always attempted persuasio before relaxatio.

In the real world, barely anyone wants other people dead over differences of opinion.

The real world is not 4chan and politicians. The real world is people whose lives don't revolve around politics.

My reaction to the Left's reaction is basically "well yeah, they're the enemy. They're supposed to want us dead." I'm more shocked and disgusted that so many on the right don't get this and feel the same back at them.

What is your reaction to the leftists who are appalled at what happened?

I was actually shocked by Josh Shapiro's comments about the guy who was killed.

Unironically, I have no idea who Jack Black is. I've heard his name but I have no idea what he is. Same for Matt Smith which apparently everyone knows and talks about like everyone knows who he is.

What caused that to hit him?

The fact that he is WORSE THAN HITLER.

In other news, it's very bad to shoot WORSE THAN HITLER and I'm praying for his speedy recovery.

Is Steven Beschloss related to that Michael Beschloss?

He posted a picture of the Rosenbergs when the Trump 'classified documents' hoax hit.

Considering that Trump got nothing accomplished in his first term that went against the Deep State, in their position, I would try to manage Trump rather than go to war with him. Hell, I'm pretty sure he would be in a worse position if they had not tried to sabotage him at every turn.

A president's second term is almost always a failure, or at least a disappointment. It won't be different for Trump. He likely won't get much accomplished as a lame duck, let alone when it goes against the Deep State. Now, weighing that against the downside of making him a martyr for all the ages, a new Gracchus who will inspire people 83 years from now? In their position, I'd prefer a Trump presidency 10 times over.

It's a Heisenberg theory: it's right or wrong depending on whether you say that it's good or bad.

Same as the Heisenberg elections held by the US: they are the most secure in the 250,000 years and fraud is impossible if Democrats win, or Russia stole it if Republicans win.

the general public now sees the left as dangerous people who are willing to shoot a president.

I don't think they do.

What is the point of killing a 78-year-old obese man, who I'm sorry to say will die naturally soon enough - make him a revered martyr and God-like figure to tens of millions?

And if you're going to engage in such a high-stakes assassination attempt, why would you pick a guy who is so bad at it that 1 of his 8 (reported) bullets graze the guy's ear? Surely, as much as it is a bad to murder him, it's far worse to try and then fail.

Don't get me wrong. I don't put this past the deep state. I'm not saying they're too good and noble to do this. I'm saying they're too smart to do it. If it turns out that they're not smart, so much the better.

Vance has been TrumpOrBust for a while now. And ideologically, he's most aligned with Trump of all those guys.

Trump is putting aside his ego for once and picking the man who's best for the job.

My only worry is that Kamala Harris will out-debate him. She's a clown on the stump, but as a prosecutor, she can be a very good debater. Let's hope Biden's blunders can help the Trump team avoid a debate.
