    It’s not that people aren’t paying attention, it’s that the people who have to most power to do anything about it won’t because they’re either in his pocket already, or fearful of stirring up another insurrection

      And the second group are wishfully thinking if they believe another attempt isn’t going to happen at all. Even if the fucker strokes out tomorrow I think a good hunk of the country would believe he was actually assassinated and make him a martyr.

        I am nearly convinced there will be an even bigger attack on the government by far-right reactionaries no matter what the results of the next election are. Biden or another dem wins and it’s obviously stolen, insurrection time, or Trump wins and traitors are stalling his progress, purging time.

          You ain’t alone, I’m waiting on that shoe to drop, although I would expect it to be an attack on infrastructure.
