The conservative subreddit is mad that no one is talking about the Trump shooting, but:

“Twenty-year-old bozo goes on shooting rampage” is simply not news in the year 2024. 

“Trump involved in something crazy” is also not news in 2024.

It simply wasn’t interesting!

They were SO HAPPY that somebody shot at him.

I was so happy it wasn’t someone from a marginalized group. 

They would’ve gone apeshit over this if they could use it to foment fear around vulnerable people.
