    Like the most brain dead neoliberal i am constantly surprised by how sharp Trumps political instinct is. That picture is some Mark Antony showing Caesar’s bloody cloak to the crowd level shit. I’m also reminded of Baudrillard’s point about how JFK and Robert Kennedy were given ‘real’ assasinations beacuse they had a real political program, in contrast to Gerald Ford and Nixon. Trump raising his fist to the cheers of the people as if he’s a revolutionary instead of a puppet of the status quo lmao

        Unlikely, just proof that Trump is uniquely gifted at being a showman. He loves operas and “the arts.” You can tell he really loves working a crowd, getting laughs, being beloved. It’s very unfortunate for everyone, but he’s honestly just good at what he does, and I think saying this was a false flag is cope. Especially considering we know the guy who did it was exactly the guy who does this type of thing everyday in the US only their targets are innocent kids at school.
