Their response to this has been hilarious. I don't think they realise how fucking crooked they sound (or don't care?) when they pretend Trump getting a hole in his ear is a bad thing.
Like, my brother's in Christ, you have been saying this man is a threat to our Democracy. You repeatedly have failed to stop him. He is one of the most openly hated people on Earth and yet here you are telling people that you're horrified that his ear got a booboo. You sit there pretending to be anti-violence when YOUR OWN COUNTRY HAS BEEN PROTESTING YOUR FUNDING OF VIOLENCE IN GAZA.
It's like the Dems are doing everything in their power to remind voters "Don't bother voting for us, we won't protect you and we will lie about literally everything."
If Trump wins it will be 100% the Dems fault.
It doesn't work that way.
One, a big part of elections is name recognition. Being the more recognizable name gives a proven effect.
Two, people respond to candidates looking weaker. Surviving an assassination attempt makes you look strong. Dying makes you look weak. And the entire Republican party is just following Trump's lead at this point, no one's been able to replicate what he can do. Consciously one might feel sympathy but subconsciously one feels weakness.
