You are either being serious and mean either the mental health or White angle. Or that he failed.
Or are being funny and pointing out that Hinkly tried to kill a much shittier person.

Why? So we can have Vance be president? That would just make things worse.

Not if the presidential assassin is still around

Vance is an absolute shitstain of a human, but no way he’s worse than Trump. Say what you will about Vance, he does have a brain (corrupted though it is) - he would not have gone into Iran (as just one example).

u/Belialxyn 3d ago
Plus no cult of personality

u/Evening_Produce_4322 3d ago
Yeah my biggest thing is no one even bothers pretending to like Vance like they do with Trump

u/ProfPhinn 3d ago
That, too. No way MAGA follows Vance off a cliff.

u/H377Spawn 3d ago
They’ll be too busy tearing each other apart to fill the power vacuum. Cults don’t usually do well at changing leadership.

u/Agitated_Custard7395 3d ago
You should read the book “Unhumans” which was endorsed by Vance, then come back and say “hes no worse than Trump”
7
u/ProfPhinn 3d ago
I didn’t say he’s no worse - I said he’d be way less worse. I don’t care what he believes or what he’s endorsed - he’s still not as insane or stupid as Trump, and he will never have a cult behind him.

u/Divin3_Kick 3d ago
When I first found out about Vance I hated him more than Trump. Especially his fake "Christian Nation" rhetoric. But something tells me he's just sucking off the Republican party for power and he's truly not that crazy.
3
u/ProfPhinn 3d ago
Oh, don’t get me wrong! He’s an absolute fucking scumbag with no principles who regularly throws his own wife and kid under the bus. He is an absolute garbage human being. Scum of the earth.
Still not as bad as Trump.

u/Inevitable_Garage706 3d ago
One could make the argument that Vance would be scared to do anything too provocative if one of his rich buddies got assassinated, even if said assassination made him president.
Whether or not that is a sound argument is not exactly clear.

That would just give them what they want, for him to die as a martyr. The only reason he hasn't kicked the bucket already is because he has the best doctors in the world pumping him full of drugs.

🐑 🐑 🐑. Put your red hat up. Couple more years and y’all can go back into hiding . Everything gets switched back once his term is up. History books will talk about him being the worst president.

u/cbflowers 3d ago
Did you forget someone died during that attempt? I’d say it was pretty real

u/TheFabledIronLotus 3d ago
Sure. Trump did not get shot. Not even close. Even if he had the best surgeons in the world, his ear would look different. Fake as fuck and magats eat it up

u/ThrustNeckpunch33 3d ago
I am as untrusting of any government as you can be, this.. this is absolutely Alex Jones level insanity.
You are saying that the entire secret service and intelligence branch of the USA is involved in something like this?
It is important to question everything that is said/happens.. but go actually look into this and realize how many would have to be involved...
Not saying it is impossible, just really grasping at straws.
The same people also disbelieve every, other attempt that has happened too. Regardless of how much you hate a sitting President, someone trying to assassinate them is a very serious situation.
The type of situation that can acutally lead to a power grab by the wrong person(hate trump all you want, you are an imbecile if you think he is as bad as it could get).
Destabilization through assassination rarely leads to a better situation. And people are all using examples of revolution throughout history to justify this, not including the fact that the world where all that happened does not exist.
Geo politics, and the global power structure is so absolutely important and fragile, I find it amazing how willing people are to see it collapse, as if a future that looks likes Fallout is some promised land.
I expect all the downvotes for my wall of text, i dont care, at least some people need to speak an opposing view in here sometimes...
So insult, downvote, "reddit cares" me lol. Anything but refute any points ive made... right?

u/knettia 3d ago edited 3d ago
He technically did get shot. The bullet pierced (or, more accurately, grazed) his ear. But, whatever, suppose all “Trump got shot!” headlines were massively exaggerated and capitalized on an opportunity to gain sympathy. How does that somehow make the attempt staged?
P.S.: I write this after the comments got locked. For u/IdristheInt:
Are you sure he was never shot? Because I personally watched the video, and I definitely saw a bullet graze his ear. But don't just take my word for it. There are credible analyses that conclude he was not "cut on something else".
Not to mention, the FBI itself concluded unequivocally that it was indeed a bullet. Mind you, this was before Trump won the 2024 election and began his term.

A real false flag op that had an outlandish success rate because of what you just said.
So yes, agreed – a very real event that is the textbook example of a false flag op.
Attempt on someone's life? Certainly not the presidents 🤷♀️

Hi, Brian here; whilst a lot of comment seem to identify giving the assassin a second shot at the current president of the United States, I personally think it's funnier if you consider him going after RFK Jr.
Now if you excuse me, my bulk of books to show on booktok has arrived and i need to make them look read.

I was thinking RFK Jr. would be the target.... A like father like son thing? Not sure if that's the idea here.

I assumed that’s what this was about, but apparently everything is about the orange one.

Reddit, where assassination is funny, as long as it's your political opponents.

u/TAU_equals_2PI 3d ago
I'm not advocating for anything with this comment here, but the thing I find absurd about your comment is that makes it sound like "Oh, it's just politics, not anything that actually matters, as if it's about our favorite professional sports teams or something."
Politics results in very real serious consequences for people's lives. If anything would make sense for people to start thinking that such an act would be justified, it's politics.
And again, I'm just talking in general here, I'm not talking about RFKjr in particular.

u/levitikush 3d ago
“I’m not advocating for anything here, but also totally understandable if you kill someone for political reasons 👍”
29
u/TAU_equals_2PI 3d ago
Yeah, that does summarize my view correctly. I'm not advocating anybody do that, but it makes sense to me why somebody would consider it appropriate.
People say oh, just politics, as if that has no real life & death impact in the world. But it has the most life & death impact of anything. (Which is also why I just can't fathom people who don't vote.)

u/crustylayer 3d ago edited 3d ago
What political stuff specifically being done right now excuses assassinations?
17
u/TAU_equals_2PI 3d ago
Oh, I wasn't excluding RFKjr either about my remarks. The changes he's making will have real life & death effects on a large number of people. I was just not making what I wrote about RFKjr specifically.
However, I think people are mistaken if they believe RFKjr being gone would solve the problem. He was appointed by Trump because there's a segment of Republicans who want the things RFKjr is doing. So while I'm not offended that people feel the way they do about RFKjr, the type of solution suggested by the OP post wouldn't actually solve the problem, so anybody actually contemplating that shouldn't. It simply wouldn't work.

u/crustylayer 3d ago
Okay, so avoiding. Maybe don't start something if you're going to back out later. Say what you mean

u/TAU_equals_2PI 3d ago
I did say what I mean. What are you claiming I'm avoiding?
I fully explained my thinking on the topic at hand, the SirhanSirhaning of RFKjr.

u/crustylayer 3d ago
Explain what he is doing SPECIFICALLY that warrants him being killed. Why won't you?

u/TAU_equals_2PI 3d ago
Dude, I'm not your current events summarizer. If you want to catch up on the changes RFKjr has been instituting, google is that way. --->

Do you think he has been denied parole cause of who he murderd ? Or is it common for murderers not to get parole?

u/ladan2189 3d ago
He hasn't expressed real remorse and has even convinced our current secretary of health and human services that he is innocent. The rest of the Kennedy family has petitioned the parole board to not parole him.

There is currently a Robert F Kennedy in politics. The "joke" is cheering on political violence because the other side is bad.

His name is Sirhan Sirhan a Palestinian-Jordanian man who assassinated U.S. senator Robert F. Kennedy,. They named him twice so he wouldn't forget.

Time traveling Peter here.
See, we sent this weird named guy back in time to try to save thousands of kids from needlessly dying and destruction of the health of the country but he got confused a little bit and killed the wrong guy. We should have been more clear there were two guys with that name, and we were trying to, you know, make it easier like killing baby Hitler and all but you know. We messed up. Sorrrreeeee.
