I wonder how many people lost their jobs after the assassination attempt.

[Fluffypants]

I am not even talking about law enforcement but the people who immediately went on X, Tik Tok and YouTube to express their displeasure at the shooter missing Trump.

There was one lady who said some horrible things after the shooting and pretty much said the fireman had it coming for supporting Trump but she owns a yoga studio in Florida and had to shut down her facebook page and her business is getting review bombed out of existence.

You had the Congressional Staffer who said something about being upset the shooter missed and she got fired.

I would think some these wanna be influencers have a day job and know their employee made Tik Toks of that nature and fired them before they can hurt their business.

They seem to be quite shocked at the idea that they might be held accountable for their language in the same way they have held others accountable.

Even a lot of ultra-wokies will be irate about that. Way over the line.

Thats far leftist logic for you. If you can't debate them and win,  they need to die and are bigoted, justifying the sentiment.

No logic. Just histrionics.

Tenacious D has canceled shows for the foreseeable future. There were even lawmakers calling for their deportation from Australia where they were performing, due to the comment one of the band mates did.

You could wish death on Trump. Heck even pray for it if it makes you happy.

But to make that statement publicly, for the entire world to see?

What do you expect to happen?

Like how could you not see your employer wanting to distance themselves from you, immediately?

The intense backlash?

Its "pull out a gag grenade in an aircraft" levels of low IQ.

The shock at the consequences is what gets me laughing.

Probably not nearly as many as those who lost their jobs for invading the Capitol on Jan 6th.

I'm one of the oldest employees where I work and many of the younger people there have said, with zero hesitation, that it's too bad the shooter missed. Interestingly enough the majority wish the same on Trudeau.

These are definitely incongruent times we live in - a state of flux like nothing I've ever seen before.

I've asked if they hold us older farts responsible for the stupid and dangerous state of affairs in the world and while they're polite enough to me I can sense the wheels turning.

Focus Roboloser we aren't talking about January 6th are we? That was 4 years ago and we will probably find your lot trying to reenact it come this inauguration when Trump wins.

I am personally just amazed at how people on social media can't seem to filter themselves and after all these years haven't learned that if the internet is motivated enough they will found out everything about you including the last time you had sex.

Most of those are in prison after being hunted down and wrongfully convicted by Left-wing psychopaths.

You have a really DISMAL OPINION of your fellow Americans which serve on juries. AKA, you're detached from reality.

The juries have been just part of the problem. It's also the DA's, the judges and any other piece of shit with a (D) by its name.

They should count preceding generations as responsible--particularly fen X and boomers. And they should be angry about it. Can you imagine trying to be a young person today, hopeful and optimistic about the future? 

Over the last 70 years we've made ENORMOUS progress in this country. In the US we built up more wealth, more security, more liberty, more tolerance than at any point in the history. And there's a huge chunk of hateful old people who are willing to literally abandon democracy to rewind that progress. They will destroy every norm and burn it all down "MAGA."🙄

What a load of shit. 

Millennials are now in their 40's, they've been voting in gov'ts for years provincially and federally. They're now the largest voting bloc out there.  Things are the way they are because of THEIR actions, not the previous generation. 

And your whole 'maga' routine is just utter bullshit.  It's lies like that which push people into trump's camp.

The democrats in the states are the hateful angry group that wants to rewind progress, and they are the only threat to democracy I see. 

In Canada we've got the @eyeball 's  and his kind that spread that kind of hatred. 

Fortunately people are sick of the left. Woke is definitely out.

I certainly wouldn't with old school farts like Biden, Trump, Putin and Jinping still driving much of the world. That said I haven't seen much to inspire from youngsters like the Trudeau's or Poilievre's that have taken the reins of power either. Neither apparently have enough younger people, at least in my estimation to make any difference that matters in politics.

I like to think I've tried to make the world a better place, I protested against things like the Vietnam War and the Amchitka thermonuclear test and I've acted locally too as a volunteer in local government and as a firefighter...I want younger people to have good reason to feel polite towards me. There's still a few older school  f̶a̶r̶t̶s̶ elders I look up to that I knew when I was a kid hereabouts, but they're sure getting scarce.
