    Democrats are extremely calm about the fact their followers have attempted to assassinate their main political opponent twice this election cycle. Is murdering your political opponents “protecting democracy?” The only reason to kill your political opponent in a democracy during an election is if you believe they will win the election. Sad state of the country.

      Neither was a Democrat. The first was a Republican and the second was a former Trump supporter. It’s conservatives that are trying to do the assassination.

      1st attempt was a republican shooter. He was

      2nd attempt didn’t actually happen. They didn’t see Trump or draw their weapon. It was just someone who owned a gun in America.

      It’s the republican party who have consistently displayed the attitude that the 2nd amendment is there for this type of thing, not the democrats.

      How calm are you about your party doing this?
