You know, I am not a Trump supporter by any means at all.
But I do not approve of what happened to the man. And I don't think it is fair to put everyone who doesn't support him in the same category as the lunatic who tried to murder him.

I agree....there’s no reason to approve of violence against someone just because you have a different point of view, Anyone who tries to assassinate someone because of issues they have with them is sick....and anyone who supports this kind of violence is sick. I will never support former President Trump because of some of his actions after the 2020 elections, but I condemn this violence against him, and I’m relieved that he is OK (but am saddened by the loss of the life of at least one of the attendees).
@BlueGreenGrey I agrée with you. Trump’s gone way past just having "a different opinion", he’s a convicted criminal who’s been involved in altering the highest court in our land and changing the way our democracy would work. The same legal status that prohibits some people from voting should at least make him ineligible to run, or the system is indeed corrupt.
@BlueGreenGrey 'What if?' is always interesting to speculate; but I believe the Allies were surprised that Germany was NOT (as they feared) seriously trying to develop an atom bomb in the late 30s and early forties.
@BlueGreenGrey Most of the people - like Chamberlain - who were genuinely trying to find a peaceful solution to the crisis, did not know how utterly deceitful and violent Hitler would be. They did not have that foreknowledge - or the benefit of our hindsight.
I wouldn't advocate assassinating anyone on the fear/suspicion that they might turn out to behave in an evil way.
There is no such thing as knowing 'what would have happened if ....' because it didn't.
