The downvoters are really proving the point here
She's looking at it with the knowledge afterwards that someone is actually going to do it. And not if they have to be sure before they shoot someone. trump rallies are full of idiots climbing on shit and being idiots.
Exactly this. It's really easy to look at the situation afterwards and have trouble believing how it could have gotten that far. But that's because from the outside we don't know how many incidents they have narrowly avoided or how many potential incidents turned out to be nothing.
This is also classic conspiracy theory territory. Could it be that the world is complex and scary? That even trained secret service agents make potentially fatal errors? No, because we can pretend that even though there was a shooter it was all planned and under control. Somehow the idea that things like this are under the control of some malicious enemy is more comforting than the horrible unpredictability of it all in reality.
There was a zero percent chance that some random person with a rifle was able to scale a roof, unless there was just an unbelievable failure of intelligence. And you want to know why it's unbelievable? Because I don't effing believe it. I don't believe it. I want the names of the Secret Service agents that allowed this remarkable security failure to go down, because I don't believe this.
The "school" of hard knocks strikes again. She is still on the same bullshit. Obviously the secret service wanted this to happen, or something 🙄
Yeah they chose quite the time to make the perfect the enemy of the good
Never mind dude, there is a link, but I've already tried to explain it. You were correct in your comment, which I think is all you're bothered about.
I was responding to what you said about what they said. This is generally how conversations go
I was talking about the thing the person you responded to was talking about.
Anyway, this was oddly hostile so I'm out.
You said this:
Voters simply don't care about Gaza anywhere near as much as they care about literally everything else:

It shows up in poll after poll after poll. With the exception of chronically online lemmings and less than 10% of Democratic voters, nobody else really cares.
How big were the win margins in 2020 again?
The democrats beat the republicans on a generic ballot by one percent. The fact it gets worse when you add Biden into the mix is very concerning.
It's not like most people are voting for Biden as much as against Trump anyway. They should just open up the field and hopefully change him.
Certainly hyperbole. But there are examples linked and I think anyone paying attention has seen this behaviour, especially since the debate but also previously in response to criticism of his Gaza policy, e.g. "oh so you think Trump would be better?!"
