Don't be silly, you can't make a gun out of a tennis ball. You have to make the tennis ball a grenade before the 2A fanatics will protect your right to take it into a political convention.

The DNC absolutely cannot condone assassination attempts, and it's absurd to think otherwise. The second they actually claim that it's a shame the gunman missed, it would be open season on every politician in office. The GOP would see a DNC acceptance of violence as a declaration of war, every last one of them would jump on the conspiracy that the Biden administration must have hired a truly inept gunman to make the hit, and before you can say "The GOP already condones violence" you'd have a dozen more assassination attempts on as many targets.

Republicans WANT a reason to pull the trigger. They WANT excuses to start taking shots at people they don't like. The last godamn thing you want to do is give them a reason to justify it. So no, the DNC denouncing political violence doesn't make them look like they don't care, it makes them look like they're the only ones fit to actually govern a nation.

This reads like a shitty attempt to start a new copypasta.

"Confirmed what I already knew." I'm sure that was with some detailed research into the breadth of the subject involving the reinforcement of a robust understanding, right? Surely it wasn't something like... finding a couple legal sounding books, and finding a few words in those books they understood, before taking some pictures they thought suggested research and calling it good!

Calling them idiots isn't an effort to save them and in no way needs to fulfill that objective. Further, swallowing Trump's bullshit and honestly believing it is itself sufficient to qualify someone as an idiot. If someone is, in your words, so far removed from reality that they cannot see the simple important facts, then they are by definition not also smart and engaged.

Obviously the Pharaohs were literal giants. The reason discovered mummies are all human sized is because their divine alien essence was bled away after death to be channeled into the stars by the divine shape of the pyramids, leaving only a human-sized husk behind which modern "science" thinks is just some kind of dried out human. ~/s~

And yet here in Alaska there's a concerted effort to eliminate Ranked Choice Voting, I can only assume by people who are upset at the establishment losing some of it's grip.

Surely this will make more people take vegans seriously!

Of course it doesn't. The GOP plan regarding the climate is "Ignore it and the problem that doesn't exist in the first place will go away." This plan is deeply unpopular with anyone who sees climate change as a problem, and for those who don't simply not mentioning it at all is in keeping with their values anyway. "Ignore it."

no.

I miss the days when I was surprised to hear that Russia probably deliberately blew up a hospital.

They just think he'll surely only go after Other people, that they'll be safe, part of the "In" group.
