I'm honestly convinced in a very defeatist way that this will cement any uncertainty of his canadicty on the right and win him the election this year because of it.
I can picture it now "Nobody ever tries to kill the bad guy, look at history MLK jr, Kennedy, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Hitl- history all looks upon the vile left and shames them for trying to engineer such things."
Why? Because someone shooting at him for everything he's done is less realistic?
More because the right loves calling things false flags and projection in equal measure
With how good he is at keeping secrets, I wouldn't be surprised if in like 6 years it comes out that this was all planned.
I will give it 6 weeks
In Brazil, during the 2018 election, Bolsonaro’s team got advice from Steve Bannon. Bolsonaro was stabbed during his campaign which many say hugely bolstered his numbers.
Now this? I know Bannon is in prison but the whole Cambridge Analytica thing and the manipulation of public & individual opinion… the connections with Roger Stone… the whole QAnon crap… project 2025… it’s just all so fucking weird.
The truth is more like it looks. No need for a conspiracy. Vile orange man who spews hatred and violence and preaches senseless retribution is shot at in a fascist rally in a country where guns are sacred.
As I said, no need for a conspiracy, all the necessary ingredients are at hand.
Exactly. With all the guns out there, and all the crazy people with guns, it was only a matter of time before this sort of thing happened. And unfortunately, it will happen again.
I can't tell you that because it wasn't.
Things are way less organized than you think.
Naw, he actually got injured. There's no way he'd risk something like that.
