Someone fucking murder Trump already.
-The Woodpecker sighs.
Trump is just the highly visible part of a whole cancerous growth. All of the right wing, with its "outgroups to bind and in-groups to protect" worldview, needs to go.
I'm a foreigner, but the gun to attempt ratio surely doesn't add up statistically, surely? Those are rookie numbers, y'all gotta' pump those up!
There's a bit of the bystander effect, and the fact that he's in office now, and not just protected by secret service. Bush Jr. Saw the White House get fortified into a military facility. It has fucking anti-aircraft defenses. Obama saw the motorcade get overhauled into a series of what amount to tanks. Supposedly the glass and armor can withstand at least one RPG hit( the type with the shaped charged that cuts through steel) .
Whatever defenses Trump didn't know he had in 2016, he knows about now and then some. A straight up assassination isn't feasible - even if you could get ahold of his actual schedule, the type of equipment you'd need to reach him is way out of the hands of your normal citizen.
And then, even if you could get your hands on that equipment - you have to be able to use it. That drastically narrows the number of people who can pull it off to pretty much exclusively former military. And most of that kind of stuff isn't "lone Wolf" stuff so now it's further reduced.
Further anyone who goes around and admits they have the Intel, the training, the equipment, and the plan to do it in any capacity online will probably be outed before they can pull it off.
The only way the Regime goes down is by popular resistance. The only way we get to popular resistance is through protesting in person and seeing the numbers and communicating without leaving traces.
It's happening, but it's slow because the US is so unfathomably spread out. It takes time to move people places where we are used to instant communication. The Regime knows this. That's why they send military convoys to arrest a guy posting flyers identifying HSI personnel. They can only delay at this point, but they're either too stupid to realize that every thing they try now adds fuel to the fire, or they intend for it to all fall apart anyway.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek about it all, but I very much understand what you're saying and I do agree. I know the odds are very much not in favour of anyone who would attempt to "Lone Wolf" it, and expecting that too happen and solve all of the current issues plaguing the US isn't feasible.
I really do hope y'all can get through and past this, from one citizen of the world to another <3
Fun fact! Murder is "the unlawful killing of a human being with malice". If it's lawful, e.g. in self defense, it's not murder.
Just need to lure him into enough American primary schools and it becomes statistically inevitable. Have him go on a campaign with a sharpie marking up all those big pull down maps and let him write gulf of America on them. He'd love that.
No, not without Vance, Musk and Thiel.
