    I hate living in this time that makes satire obsolete.

    Can anyone please think of the makers of south park and how they are supposed to make fun of self owning clowns like this?

    what’s so frustrating is that this “they’re a fact of life” mentality is a self-fulfilling prophecy. and the longer it continues to used as a justification for inaction, the harder it becomes to convince people that gun violence is a solvable problem.

    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.

    And that some can afford protection and made it impossible for others is also a fact of life

    This is what it feels like when dealing with banks and utilities of a loved one when they pass away.
