Who burnt down the Reichstag?
Karl Rove got busted for planting a bug in his own office during George W. Bush’s gubernatorial campaign in Texas. He then accused the opposition of the crime.
This incident was used to gain favor with voters. It worked. How much is Trump going to benefit from this "assassination attempt"? Could it be possible that the Republicans played this shooter for a patsy and attached a squib to Trump's ear?
Another example: In the story “V for Vendetta,” the right-wing group known as Norsefire rises to power through a combination of fear, manipulation, and exploitation of societal chaos. Here’s a brief overview of their ascent:
- Exploiting Fear: Norsefire capitalizes on widespread fear and instability caused by a global nuclear war. The United Kingdom, though spared from direct nuclear attacks, suffers from severe societal breakdown
- Creating a Crisis: In the film adaptation, Norsefire engineers a biological attack, releasing a virus that kills thousands. They then present themselves as the saviors who can restore order
- Promising Stability: By promising to bring back stability and security, Norsefire gains the trust and support of the desperate population
- Totalitarian Rule: They establish a totalitarian state, using propaganda, surveillance, and brutal enforcement to maintain their grip on power1.
This rise to power is a central theme in “V for Vendetta,” highlighting the dangers of authoritarianism and the manipulation of fear for political gain.
What a genius!
Now, all you have to do is explain WHY Trump would risk his life to gain a couple of points in the polls when his lead over Biden is increasing virtually every day already, he's about to get another bump in the polls from the RNC convention, all while the Democrat party is destroying itself with frustration over how to get their demented senile pedophile and his slut VP off of the ticket entirely while Biden is stubbornly determined to remain the head of the party?
And we're not even talking about Biden's many failed policies yet or Trump's plans to repair the damage that's been done to the country because of Biden's stupidity! Once the campaign REALLY gets started, Biden's poll numbers will continue to drop like a rock!
To top it all off, Biden's lost MILLIONS of his campaign funds already by having to throw out and remake so many of his TV commercials so as not to inflame Trump supporters even further since the assassination attempt with his lies and phony attacks on Trump that called him worse than Hitler, a threat to democracy, and a danger to the country.
Maybe you should just chalk it up to what has been about the worst month a presidential campaign has ever had in US history and admit your defeat!
"What do you mean, they missed?"
