With JD Vance and all the fake populism, and now this. I don't see any other path than the fascist one. Might be best to start looking at options to flee this hellhole.

UPDATE: They now have on a member of the Steamfitters union who is a "lifelong Democrat"... Yeah it's pretty much over

That is the liberal belief, but there is no historical proof that that will be exactly how things unfold, it's just conjecture. In fact 38% of people polled already believe it was his fault, is it really impossible to get maybe 13% more people to also believe it?

Liberals have completely lost faith in the art of persuasion, and don't think vividly enough when they try to game strategies out. How we say that it is his fault matters just as much, and if we say the Dems had policies which could have prevented the shooter from getting his gun, that we are just worried about whether the chaos of that rally will reflect the chaos of his presidency, these are the types of approaches that can make an on the fence voter go, "huh, that kinda makes sense, I never thought of it like that."

It of course has a chance of backfiring but it also has a chance of cutting down the polling bump he gets from being shot.
