My friends and I agree that boredom is the only appropriate response. We were over it within an hour
It’s just “don’t feed the trolls” logic as applied to narcissistic politicians
Caring that a former politician was almost assassinated isn’t feeding the trolls. Being bored by the very reasonable deluge of coverage of a former president nearly being assassinated is absolutely grim as hell man. Assuming the poster is American take some fucking interest in your life.
Shame he didn’t have a scandal on that stage. They would have stopped taking about it within the day.
To be fair, an assassination attempt like this hasn’t happened within the lifetime of many Lemmyists. Trump has a scandal every other week.
And the 2016 assassination attempt on little known US presidential candidate Donald Trump…
That doesn’t quite have the same level of drama as a sniper on the rooftop though.
There’s only so many ways to tell a very simple story.
Yet you needed to make a meme to think it through
Yet how many people know Trump’s mentor was a gay mafia lawyer, or that Biden has had a life long struggle with a speech impediment?
The media doesn’t cover these things as much as they should.
