I would want to see that study. Trump was the heavy favorite before the assassination attempt.
Maybe you shouldn't have called Trump an existential threat 1000 times on media then. Americans remember the slurs.
lol studies? please show me the studies that say he has a 70% chance of winning.
Funny how these studies were conducted, proofed, and released all in two days before people have even decided how they feel about the events which these studies supposedly measured.
Are you saying that Trump staged the shooting in some sort of round about way or that the shooting was perfect timing for him to say that the left was trying to destroy him and now is icing on the cake to his story?
in politics what really counts is people's impressions, not real facts.
Or you just forgot what you were saying in this forum? I recall you spreading the same narrative, that Trump is a threat for democracy
So, as far as I am concerned, people's impression is that this assassination attempt was political, meaning that the left tried to kill Trump as he's a threat for democracy, which coincidentaly is part of the narrative that the left has been spreading everywhere.
You are from or live in Spain, correct? You mentioned the "narrative" of Trump being persecuted from our Justice system and such. What is being said about Trump in Spain?
But now, all of a sudden, because it's your guy that got attacked, any mere suggestion of anything that might make a person angry enough to carry out such an act is entirely the fault of the people who called something bad... bad.
I'm not impressed at all that a wacko tried to kill Trump if the social media is full of lefties stirring up the crowd with real violent comments. You can't compare it with Trump's comments in Jan 6.
You're right, a bunch of whackos on the internet do not compare to what a president of the United States tells his followers as he is inciting them to revolt against what's happening in real time at the US Capitol.There's a reason we call politicians "leaders". They are the people who actually represent the things we as a society value. Morons on Twitter do not.
This is one of those things that really demonstrates the intellectual depravity of the political right - the false equivalences when comparing the two sides. Any moron on the internet can say anything they want, and we live in a country of over 330 million people so there will be no shortage of them. Twitter is not "the left". Twitter is where morons go to smear their feces.What's telling about the left vs right debates is what each side puts forth as their best representation of the other side. When right wingers talk about the absurdity of the left they point to anonymous idiots on social media or they'll point to some school administrator somewhere in Minnesota. When right wingers talk about the ridiculous left wing policies that fuel their ire it's almost entirely a rant filled with positions no prominent left wing figure has ever advocated for.Meanwhile when the left criticizes the right, more than half of the things we're talking about is coming straight from your nominee for president and unequivocal leader of your movement. And the positions we criticize that he hasn't endorsed can be found all over Congress and all over former members of his own administration.
Trump very likely didn't realize he was inciting violence because he called for a peacefull walkout: "Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard", said Trump in one of his twits. And this is the main reason why he wasnt found guilty so far.
I think you're overestimating the danger of allowing this kind of speech from the left in social media.
are you going to deny that this violent comments in social media comes from the left?
Where does this left mindset come from? Doesn't it come from left politicians and left activists that support these politicians?
This wacko that attempted to kill Trump didn't do it alone.
Maybe you didn't notice that you live in a country where most people are armed which make it more dangerous.
And if you want to debate which political party is the most violent, I think you're going to lose by far because the history of humanity teaches us that the left has been the most violent... and still.
If it did then you would have examples of prominent left wing figures spreading this nonsense. Feel free to provide some.
You’re entirely making this up, there is no evidence to support that.
History is irrelevant to the objective facts that are on the record when it comes to what filth has been coming from each of the sides. It is the political right that nominated a man who among so many other things'; told his supporters to beat up protesters, regularly calls the opposition pedophiles and marxist communist thugs, posted a video of his opponent being hog tied to the back of a pick up truck, made fun of an assassination attempt on the former speaker of the house that resulted in the brutal hospitalization of her husband, and incited an attack on the US Capitol that he watched live on TV instead of stopping it… to be the next president.
There are many examples of people ranting on Trump, saying that he's a threat for democracy and the US. I'm not referring to you, of course, but you have lots of TV figures speaking of Trump in this way
Trump is probably the most despicable candidate in history, he has more defects than virtues, but if you're enough intelligent you have to vote for him at least holding your nose.
As a final remark, I think you hate Trump for his bad manners but you're unable to realize that the elite and the deep state hate him because he's against the status quo that is destroying the US.

I noticed you have zero people listed hating him for his policies. Good catch.
Voting for the most despicable candidate in history is a really strange way to display one's intelligence.
I hate Trump because he is an existential threat to everything this country once stood for that made us the envy of the world.I laid out some of the case here (this post and the follow up a few posts later). You are more than welcome to read it.
That’s nonsense. Normal people hate him because he’s a criminal and a subversiveHe cheats on his taxes.He cheats his customers, his contractors, his bankers and his wives.He sexually assaults and rapes womenHe tried to shake down the President of Ukraine for help attacking his political opponentHe mishandled classified documents and lied to the FBIHe is undermining all off our important institutions of civilizationHe told a BIG LIE, incited a riot and tried to steal the last election.
This is why people are lining up to shoot Trump and send America into war.
I had to take the services from despicable people many times. I did it because they are good at work. This is an intelligent decision, not mixing emotions with business.
I have to say I agree with Daivd. You're hyping the impact of Trump's government on democracy. Trump has already been president and everything was ok back then. I don't know what your concern is.
I addressed this directly in the posts I linked you to. Did you read them? Do you have any thoughts on them?
is there any chance that he did all what you said he did because of his ignorance about how the government works? Based on his background as a business man and not a lifetime politician like Biden, it seems to me he didn't know exactly what he was doing
Let's not consider the Jan6 events which is very polemical.
I really don't understand what you're asking, and again, this was all addressed in detail in the link I provided.
Trump is a business man and he thinks in a different way to a lifetime politician like Biden.
Either way, you're not going to change your mind about Trump because you hate him, so I feel I'm wasting my time with you.
the US is getting into a profound economic crisis as many experts are predicting
Correct, that's exactly the problem. America isn't a business, it's the most powerful nation on earth and is so because of the basic principals upon which it was founded. Principals that Trump in his "different way" of thinking not only disregards but berates anyone who follows them.
If changing other people's minds is the point of why you engage here then every post you write is probably a waste of time. But if a productive rational dialog is your goal, the way to accomplish that is to point out the flaws expressed within someone else's views, as opposed to, say, just labeling someone else a cultist while ignoring the very detailed arguments they made explaining their position.
Almost every single economic indicator which we have used to measure economic strength for the past century says the economy is doing good, and experts have been predicting an economic crisis "around the corner" for all of the past 15 years. These are talking points taken straight out of the Trump campaign and amplified by right wing media. It's pure nonsense.Again, if Trump were sworn in today he would immediately brag about how good his economic numbers are. And this isn't even hypothetical. In 2016 Trump claimed all of the jobs numbers reports were fake, then after being sworn in the very next jobs report came out and he bragged about it despite not even implementing any meaningful changes in policy yet. When confronted directly about this his press secretary delivered a pre written response from Trump to the media: "the jobs numbers were fake before but they're very real now".No halfway intelligent person would take this man seriously.
