Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.

People often talk about going back in time to kill baby Hitler. By all measures Trump would like to be a new Hitler and his most fervent supporters see him as that. Is it surprising people would support such an action to stop him?
And further alienate any actual people that might support them. They have to condemn political violence because it was an attack on their class, and their class solidarity overrides any political rivalry. But even my very liberal friend said "dang, it's too bad they missed." Idk what my Christian grandma feels about the shooting but when Trump got covid she did say he deserved it.
If the same thing happened to Biden I'm almost certain mainstream Republicans would be saying things like "this is the people standing up against the woke mob, God Bless Them!"
The part that gives me the most thought about it being planned was his response, he gets up and raises his fist? His security doesn't hold his head below cover and he just chills on stage for the photo op? If he was unexpectedly shot you'd think he would just be crying and shidding himself, maybe they are just poorly trained
Edit: In case anyone is reading this later it was definitely not likely to have been staged.
Take some extra time at the range first!
I'm not the expert but at my work we've used several varieties and brands and the MK3S+ is our standard workhorse
He also said he wouldn't step down for Kamala even if polls showed she had a better chance of winning, unless it showed he had no chance of winning at all. This is the democratic process.
It's not an 'idea', there is hard data showing the numbers of people deported. Trump hates immigrants too though, I'm not saying either one is better or worse on immigration. How am I intending to post pro-Biden rhetoric? Biden is a genociding racist that should be charged with war crimes.
"Obviously every president in US history is probably unforgivable, but here's why you should forgive Biden."
It is one of America's ideals to help people everywhere find a better life and live the 'American dream.' You don't support this patriotic ideal? Thousands of refugees from the endless global wars that the US helps initiate come to our borders to find salvation. I gladly pay taxes to help needy immigrants because that is supposedly one of the foundational elements of 'America'.
But we are ruled by the wealthy who trick average people to be mad at immigrants instead of wage theft, wealth redistribution, unchecked global atrocities and war crimes done in the name profit, Raytheon et al and the military-industrial complex. I have been to the border, my friends and family have a lot of experience in border towns and there is no dangerous immigrant invasion going on like portrayed by the media. And what open borders? Biden has deported more people than Trump.
Even my Christian, somewhat conservative grandma was like "I hope he doesn't get better" when he got covid. I'm not sure what she thinks about this shooting but having called him a nazi before she is probably disappointed the shooter missed.
