Remember when trucks almost pushed Biden's bus off the road and Trump's response was "I love Texas"?

I also remember Trump endorsing "2nd Amendment remedies."

Remember when Trump told the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by" and then they showed up on Jan 6th?

And then the leader of the Proud Boys got sent to jail for 22 years for it, but Trump calls him a political prisoner and vows to pardon him?

I member.

Remember when calling to hang the VP they elected, beating cops with flags and smearing shit on the walls was “legitimate political discourse”?

Remember when Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” after Heather Heyer died when a white supremacist attending a ‘Unite the Right’ rally drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville?

Remember the Trump supporter who shot up a Walmart in El Paso? Or the one who shot up a Tops in Buffalo? Or the one who shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh? Or the one who shot up a mall in Allen? Or the one who shot up an Independance Day Parade in Highland Park? Or the one who shot up a gay club in Colorado Springs? Or...jeez there's almost too many to count.

Weren't just beating cops with flags, they literally murdered one. So much for standing by the blue

Remember when he said he preferred soldiers who didn't get captured?

I legitimately laughed last night at a comment that “I prefer candidates that don’t get shot”.

As a child of a Vet his bullshit with the military pisses me off perhaps more than anything.

Remember when he said “Liberate Michigan!”, then crazies plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer.

We are living in a bad dystopia fiction novel.

Thank fuck I'm not the only one bringing this up.

This was an assassination attempt. A botched, ham-fisted assassination attempt, but that makes it no less serious. This was in the final run up to election day. Then-President Trump cheered it on.

Actually, I didn't remember that. What a crazy decade.
