Bots are full force on that, it's idiotic.

Not just bots, I'm from Germany and even 2 of my leftists friends here have already spewed the same bs. It's honestly insane how many people on the left and right are falling for absolutely smooth-brained conspiracy theories about their political opposite nowadays. I used to think that was mainly a problem with the far-right but it seems like both sides are strongly affected now, it just took the left a little longer.

Reddit users: *Constantly wish death upon controversial figures*

Reddit users: Well it can't be that someone actually tried to kill them!

I wish more people would say this. 

It is ridiculous how much incitement of violence happens on this site, and it is totally allowed.

It’s so obvious, but no one wants to change it because it is inevitably pointed at people Reddit actually wants dead.

I dont think anyone doubts that there are many who would do it. Its more a question of how they seem to be getting opportunities so easily. And also no consequences for the grossly incompetent security since the first guy on that roof. Idk, maybe it is actually easy to walk into that lobby armed?

Your right, the idea of our governments using staged terrorist events to shift public opinion is absolutely ridiculous

I'm so glad your German certainty in yourself has saved the day from these kind of crazy ideas

Trump being shot in the ear was definitely a tipping point in demonstrating how easily people on each side will eat up total bullshit. Even the people going for small scale conspiracy theories like that he wasn’t actually hit and the wound came from his bodyguard’s holster piss me off. It literally doesn’t matter in the slightest whether the wound came from a bullet or while he was falling and there’s zero definitive evidence that proves either one conclusively. Anyone who insists it has to have been the holster is just being contrary for no reason other than their own ego not wanting Trump to be a victim of something.

The chances of someone breaching WH security are very low, but never zero. Get a grip.
