Men will literally try to assassinate a president rather than go to therapy.

There are indeed a lot of shitty therapists out there. Very under regulated profession.

Haha it's me

I’ve unironically been saying to my friends for like the past week that the funniest outcome is that he’s just a centrist
-
-
Probably just "Will be used" tbh
-
i feel like its mostly libertarians
-
It doesn't actually matter what the facts of the situation are the event will be used to stomp down on people the establishment doesn't like.

Jokerfication transcends electoral politics

One thing everyone can agree on: You MUST use 3 names when addressing an assassin.
-
It's the weirdest thing! I've been saying this for years.
-
I feel like this might be something to prevent infamy from being spread to someone with a similar name, but also because having three names can also make "naming" them feel more serious. Like when you are a kid and you are in trouble with your mom and they use your full name to establish how you are in a lot of trouble instead of just a little trouble.

Abe's assassin only has two names so I propose we address him as "Sir Tetsuya Yamagami".

Wow, first incident of suicide by Secret Service.
-
-
So did he just commit suicide by SS?
-
Honestly it kinda seems like that might be the case. disillusioned and depressed centrist who correctly sees that both candidates suck and is like "let's see if I can take one of em out before I go"
Or maybe he had delusions of being a famous high profile assassin in his death regardless of who he actually killed
Idk, all speculation so far. Most possibilities seem pretty equally valid to me at this point

Shades of Arthur Bremer giving up on assassinating Nixon and deciding to go for George Wallace instead.
On May 4, 1972, after a ten-day break from writing, Bremer realized it would be almost impossible to assassinate Nixon and decided that it was Wallace's "fate" to be his victim, even though his diary entries never showed the same level of interest or enthusiasm as they did with regard to assassinating Nixon. Bremer made this clear in his diary writing, "He [Wallace] certainly won't be buried with the snobs in Washington. ... I won't even rate a TV interruption in Russia or/Europe when the news breaks—they never heard of Wallace."

Kind of amazing to think how recent the Democratic Party's heel-turn away from the Dixiecrats was, and how one of the assholes in their orbit made it to the Vice Presidency and then the Presidency anyway.

I'd love to find Biden's response to the Wallace shooting, but since he wasn't yet a Senator (he'd be elected that year) he may not have had to make a statement. For more on Biden and Wallace, here's a Rolling Stone summary from 2019.
They don't mention the year but I think the award in question was from 1973.

Yeah, for years the complaint has been "why shoot up a school instead of a petrochemical office?", this is progress
Reform in action!

I'm imagining him on his computer clicking one of those porn ads except it's 'war criminal presidents near you are BEGGING to be shot (2 miles away!!)'

no more half measures walter

his spirit will live on to finish the job
-
image searching trump and biden is serious research
-
They're both so subtle, it's really easy to miss them in a crowd.
