      In the short term, I am expecting right-wing nutjobs to do their own sort of retaliatory shootings, targeting whomever their personal info bubble blames as a group.

        I hate to say it but that might be the best case scenario. At least in that case biden is in office when the violence starts

          Further violence and a mild Civil War are not best case scenario. Queer people dying for your cause is not best case scenario.

          Best case scenario (and what seems to be the alt theory on literally every social I have, and on some I don’t have), is that everyone believes this was a false flag (and/or there’s evidence it was a false flag). That fact that so many people IMMEDIATELY questioned the shooting is a really good sign. People just don’t trust him at all. Boy Who Cried Wolf etc

      My thoughts exactly, the right will eat this up and use this the rest of the race. Anyone who was on the edge for voting for him probably just made up their minds. They’ll blame the left for this.

      Update: annnd it begins…

      This is my thought exactly. I have never felt such a somber feeling.

      He’s god now. It’s over.

      Nobody is changing their vote over this shit. Democrats are pretty entrenched in not Trump. They knew what was at stake this election as soon as Trump stepped back up.
