This actually makes all the sense. If he truly believes it then he’s rightly afraid. If he doesn’t believe then this sends the message to his supporters that they are right to be afraid. Either way it also tries to give him a “martyr in life” kinda vibe by trying to paint him as someone so dangerous to their little deep-state(that totally isn’t 100% conservatives if it’s anything at all) would want to get rid of.

He also has a very shootable personality and platform, and Trumping have been shot at definitely gives some reason why he’d be behind glass himself.

Benefit of the doubt interpretation though is a guy who can afford to have security and bullet-proof glass telling little children to “deal with it” is a fucking scumbag-extraordinaire.

Yeah but he's "important" fuck your kids though.

Wasn't the guy who shot at trump staged behind him?

All that glass is doing is paying the audio engineers for extra work to get the front rows speakered too.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

One who hit him was to the front right of him.

But was thinking why you don't just pick a spot behind him.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Honestly, they should just put a box or dome over him as it would just need someone crazy enough but smart enough to calculate an arc.

Better yet, just hold the rallies in a properly inspected building. (Not sure if any property owners will let them rent anymore though.)

Airtight and soundtight would be funny

He was on a roof kinda to the side, the people he injured (+ killed) were behind trump

Apparently they are gaining ground in the polls.

Fake polls paid by GOP would explain that if I read correctly that big post with lots of comments here (on lemmy) 1 or 2 days ago.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

This is an opinion only. I wanted to preface it that way because I realized how much it sounded like I had inside knowledge. I do not. I'm a drunk, ignorant redneck.

I wouldn't put it past them, but those polls shouldn't move the needle very far at places like the silver bulletin or 538 because they weigh based on how trustworthy the polls are. Reputable polls aren't getting bought and fake polls may hit news articles but don't really hit forecasts very hard.

I've watched 538 since they came back online. There was a point where Kamala had greater than a 60 in 100 chance to win. Right now it's about as low as it has been with her up 53 to 46.

We're halfway through October so I have no idea if we're getting a surprise. I'd like to see something that tilts things blue.

Who are? The Kids Getting Shot Party?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You may reliably expect it to be reported as such, whatever the facts.

Seeing the top and back completely open, I see it as just for show/security theater.
