        For the literal definition of a martyr, yes. For the political concept of a martyr, definitely not.

        Just ask Steve Scalise.

        Straight from the dictionary:

        This isn’t helping though. We’ve actually been very fortunate so far that the pro-fascism candidate has been such an incoherent idiot.

        Trump is a symptom, not the cause. Attacking him physically like this only makes our problems worse.

          Then again, would they find a successor as easily? After all, trump has a personality cult around him. Sure, the rational people don’t like him, but do they have to?

            I don’t think they would have any trouble. De Santis already tried, and probably would’ve succeeded if Trump hadn’t ran again.

            It’s not so easy to destroy a dead man.

            The Peronists in Argentina are still successful 50 years after Juan Peron’s death in 1974.

    Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump’s team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.

    Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.

    All the mods are going to have a fun time justifying removing all the calls for killing Trump after allowing all the “let’s do guillotines” comments since forever.

    To those wishing the shooter had better aim - imagine what that might unleash from the right? They already did Jan 6. Just think about what they’d feel justified in doing if someone killed Trump.

    To others on the fence - stop to think for a moment that those wishing for his death might be well aware of the above and in calling for the death of Trump, they know exactly what the response from the right would be and that may be their point in making such comments.
