This is why you don't do adventurism. Or at the very least if you come at the king take no chance at all that you'll miss. Trump is the last guy you want to almost kill, now he's getting elected and will have the focus and fury present that only an attempted assassination can invigorate. Vengeful Trump is way worse than normal Trump, normal Trump can't stick to a task, Vengeful Trump now has evidence that he might die if he doesn't. I understand the urge, but dude just fucked us all
Your point about Brazil/Bolsonaro is just nonsense. Maybe you're not at all familiar with Brazilian politics so thats fine but while we may debate adventurism, the idea that Bolsonaro when only because of that attempt is absolutely crazy in and of itself.
Bolsonaro won after the Dilma coup in 2016, 4 years of a massive campaign to demonize Lula over the Petrobras corruption scandal. A massive campaign to portray himself as a savior from the corrupt left etc.
Please don't mistake the shitty conditions of garbage American politics and extrapolate. Lula was in jail and then was almost killed. If Bolsonaro had actualy died? Pretty sure he would not have had a successor and nobody would give a shit. Its unlikely Lula would have won because Haddad is a fucking idiot anyway.
The problem with the left is we take punches, we get sent to jail, and the only conclusion we ever take is "maybe we shouldn't even bother" lol.
This Trump incident got nothing to do with Bolsonaro. Brazil is not a two party "democracy".
A country that had an actual military dictatorship literaly less than 50 years ago doesn't need excuses to persecute and kill leftists if they want to.
A lot of how this comes to pass will depend on the identity of the shooter. If you believe in prayer or anything similar manifest it being a straight white dude. It being a Q brained guy who 4d chessed himself into feeling Trump is now compromised or whatever. There's like...all kinds of different types of people who want Trump dead and being totally a stimulus response no thoughts guy he will go full force into whatever kind of guy that is. If it's a Q guy who either got paranoid and lost faith in the plan or a dude trying to make a martyr, Trump will turn on his own base SO fast. If it's a Lib who is logically following through on what to with the world ending threat that Trump has been advertised as which wouldn't be great. Or worst case scenario it was literally any POC, Queer person or someone one further left than Blue Maga, that's red alert.
Yeah ok cool I'm glad we're on the same boat on this one. I've been offline all day while this happened due to a phone misadventure and this was the fucking take I had too. Fucking hell

Yeah I feel like people aren't realizing the gravity of this event. An assassination attempt is exactly what ensured Bolsanaro's victory as well.
Sure, it might still be 4 more months, but we are officially in the cool zone now.

But you know what is even funnier? Armed Attack on ex Brazilian President Lula’s Caravan in Paraná
