Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

Big tough guy sucker punched an old lady. Trump would be proud if it were possible for him to give a shit about anyone but himself.

Not only that:

According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.

He did it because he was pissed at a male supporter but was too big of a wuss to throw hands with someone who could plausibly fight back, so to solve that, he sucker-punched an old lady. They’re not just abusive garbage, they’re pathetic cowards.

I told my coworker today that there is no good trump supporter. They’ll are either ignorant, selfish, or vile. The first group i dont blame because they’re idiots, the other 2 groups can go fuck off to the void.

Honestly, I hope he gets to vote in the future. Everyone should serve their punishment and get the chance to learn from it.

Emotionally I dislike your reply. Logically it’s correct. What good is “paying your debt to society” but never being forgiven when you live a better life after punishment.

You should just never lose it. Voting isn’t a privilege to be awarded for good behavior, never mind that laws are sometimes themselves unjust and often disproportionately applied. Should people in prison for weed possession be unable to express their opinion about whether weed should be illegal?

Voting is both important and generally not that critical. The idea matters a lot more than the actual impact most votes have. There’s just not much in the way of compelling benefit to denying prisoners their vote and plenty of risk of the law, either intentionally or unintentionally, being an implement that can affect who gets to vote on the people that make and enforce the law.

Oh, 100%, society is underestimating the terrible influence Tate, Peterson, and similar grifters are having on men (especially younger men).

Jordan Peterson is really bad because the carnivore diet he promotes would starve the chud’s brain of nutrients.

Peterson is bad because he appeals to lonely blue collar millennial men who, if they had positive male role models or better friends, would have a real chance of being actual decent people.

Tate is bad because he appeals to young men and boys who lack the life experience to know the guy is a loser and a grifter.

My opinion anyway.

Democrats: We can ignore the concerns of young people because they don’t vote.

Also Democrats: Why are young people falling for Republicans’ shit?

Domestic terrorist. She was attacked by a domestic terrorist. This crime would seem to meet the DHS definition.

We need to start calling this crap what it is.

The “media” are a bunch of spineless cowards who can’t seem to report actual news because their fear of litigation and severance from their shitty news company, which is owned by an individual who absolutely has an agenda, is far too great.

This guy should definitely face punishment, but maybe we shouldn’t dilute the term “domestic terrorism” with something like this…

In this case? Assault and battery.

We absolutely should apply the DHS definition to crimes that match that definition. We should also prosecute those who put people’s lives in danger in violent attacks motivated by a desire to suppress free and open elections to the fullest extent of the law.

Otherwise the terrorists win.

on one hand, you’re absolutely right. this was an attack between individuals.

on the other hand, it is their definition. frankly, they won’t hesitate to call us domestic terrorists for protesting against the reduction or complete removal of our civil liberties.

i say let the judge, judge. criminal intent is important in cases like these.

Yeah, I think we all deserve at least a little bit of forgetting every day. We’ve been enduring this bullshit for the better part of a decade. We don’t owe that asshole 100% of our attention all the time. Fuck him. And fuck everyone of his followers, too.

The Nerenberg trials got it right by executing the lot of them. We need more of that after this election cycle. There is no value in keeping them around. It’s not like any of them are launching rockets or anything.

Oh, fuck…

I kind of wouldn’t mind seeing him get 100% of the attention for a little bit of time. I wouldn’t mind hearing him whine as loudly as writtenhouse does about how his life is ruined.
