    Meanwhile right wingers were the only ones that tried to shoot Trump while “actual leftists” created memes about how tough "actual leftists"are.

      Why would leftists want to shoot Trump? He’s worsening the conditions under capitalism which is a win for us.

      You seriously believe that wasn’t staged? That patsy’s second to his last thought was about how he’d spend all the money he was promised….

      … his last thought was interrupted by the bullet passing through it.

          He could have been anything at that point. His political affiliation doesn’t need to match his behavior if his only purpose is to unwittingly die for a failed-attempt to grab a few votes.

      Had Crooks succeeded at the time, there may have been a martyr situation. Might have ended up worse.

        You know what it wouldn’t have ended up as? What we have now.

        What’s the death toll at currently for innocent people?

          Weren’t the allies putting off Hitler assassinations due to fear of him being replaced by someone more competent?

            It’s not nonsense. It’s human nature. People are, in general, not different than their tribal ancestors from 300,000 years ago.

            The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power.

              When ever you see this, is guaranteed that whatever follows is baseless pseudoscience.

                  Oh yeah, by all means, cite the peer reviewed biology papers showing that Great Man Theory is Evolutionary Biology, because, yes, “it’s evolutionary biology!” Is the number one catch phrase of people spouting baseless pseudo science.

                    You setup the strawman that I claimed it was Great man theory.

                    I specifically stated it wasn’t Great Man throry but you continue the strawman because you have no argument.

                    A cult leader isn’t a Great Man as described by Carlyle.
