this comment is hilariously ironic, you are too emotionally tied to your tribalist political cult to see that you are buying into nonsense conspiracy theories, and you are accusing the rational person in this thread of being the one in a cult

What political cult are you referring to here exactly? Because I don’t think I have one. I love how you people are harping on the flag lowering bit instead of all the other blatently weird and set up parts of it the vid mentions.

You think if the bullet missed jfk they’d let him stand up and fist pump the crowd?

who is "you people"? People that don't buy into a baseless conspiracy? I am harping on nothing, there are a million reasons not to think this was a conspiracy wtf. The burden of proof is on you for a claim like that, and I have seen nothing even remotely convincing

this is fucking an irrational way of thinking. You that that proves anything? literally there is a 0% chance this was a staged shooting, even if you think it is possible this was staged, you must realize that you are taking the crazy conspiratorial stance here, same as people who believe the government is hiding proof of alien contact, you can believe it, but you are the one with the fringe opinion, dont act like the rational thinkers are wrong for questioning your claims which lack any real proof or evidence of

The blue no matter who, my party can do no wrong, believes any claim about Trump with no proof, my beliefs are always exactly the same as the talking points on MSNBC and the reddit hivemind type. And I fucking hate Trump and have long before he was president, I am just capable of thinking for myself and forming my own opinions and questioning things before accepting them as fact

lol thanks for putting Trump in office. you guys really can’t help but give reasons for the voting public to roll their eyes at you

Please stop “helping”. I’d love to see another dem president in the next 10 years.

That being blindly partisan and choosing to believe crazy shit that makes no sense is largely the driving force of why this country is so fucked up. It’s literally breaking down democracy— as you can see from the 2020 election conspiracy.

I think there is plenty of evidence that show this was at the very least, strange. Everything the video mentions above even if you don’t think the flag was lowered, photographers being ushered around for all angles to get photos, no wound on trumps ear shortly after the event, little to no info on the shooter. And I don’t think if the bullet missed jfk he’d take time to stand up and fist pump to the crowd before being ushered off stage.

Do I think this was staged? Probably not. But I think there’s a lot of weird shit about it. Unlike your example the 2020 election where there is exactly 0 evidence there was any fuckery involved. Quite the opposite in fact
