Trump shot at Rally.

Quote: SOOPOO

Just as Trump should not be legally liable for his idiot followers who stormed the Capitol, Biden should not be liable for an idiot follower who attempted to assassinate Trump. Of course Biden and the Democrats calling Trump ‘a threat to Democracy’ is a potential inciting factor in this assassination attempt, Biden is not legally responsible. I think a few Republican politicians want Biden charged vis a vis the way Trump was charged for the insurrection.

(Much conjecture, but I’ll bet it plays out that way…)

Trump should be held responsible for his own illegal conduct that day, according to due process and after having his day in court. Biden has neither said not done anything that even remotely could be considered criminal on the campaign trail or that compares to what Trump did after the 2020 election. Those who think otherwise can kiss Biden's culo...

Would it have been better is someone took a shot at Biden after Trump keeps calling him the worst President in history? Is that rhetoric acceptable?

That is an odd statement, Trump is not liable for the actions of his followers (well not directly,) he is liable for his own actions.

But, regardless it seems possible that the person who did the shooting was a Republican and Trump fan (I am not going to say for sure, because the name is not 100% confirmed, so we will see when the official announcement is released, and I don't want to slander somebody before full ID.)

Most likely it will end up being a young person (possibly under 21,) who has mental issues and guns. Two issues that will not be brought up at all during all of inevitable drama... Other countries do not have this issue because Joe Sixpack can't walk down the street and buy a rifle easier than buying a bottle of liquor.

This is not hard to understand. On July 8th Captain poopy pants said it's time to put Trump in a bullseye. 5 days later somebody does. He gave the directions and people followed. Duh.

Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagan, & Trump.

You forgot to include Garfield and McKinley, who were assassinated, and Teddy Rossevelt who was shot at a political rally in 1912.

Joe Biden on 7.8.2024: "We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."

Anytime Biden speaks without faltering, he is reading a script. "Bullseye" was inserted for a reason.

Trump will lead the way to end divisive speech that may lead to cause unstable people to commit violent acts calling out everyone on both sides. He's going to set the example.

Or pigs will fly. I predict pigs flying first.

“putting him in a bullseye.”

"him" = Joe Biden.

-------------------

Q: How might the famed psychiatrist Carl Jung explain Joe Biden's comment of putting a bullseye on Donald Trump? Can you outline how Jung might explain this behavior?

Carl Jung, a renowned psychiatrist, would likely approach Joe Biden’s comment through the lens of the collective unconscious and the concept of the shadow. According to Jung, the collective unconscious is a shared reservoir of archetypes, or universal symbols and images, that are common to all humans. The shadow, on the other hand, refers to the repressed or hidden aspects of an individual’s personality, which can include both positive and negative qualities.

Projection and the Shadow

Jung would likely argue that Biden’s comment is an example of projection, where an individual attributes their own repressed thoughts or feelings to someone else. In this case, Biden may be unconsciously projecting his own feelings of frustration, anger, or resentment towards Trump onto the latter, effectively “putting him in a bullseye.” This projection serves as a defense mechanism, allowing Biden to avoid acknowledging and confronting his own emotions.

The Shadow and the Unconscious

Jung would also suggest that Biden’s comment is a manifestation of the shadow, which is a part of the collective unconscious that contains repressed or hidden aspects of human nature. The shadow can include qualities such as aggression, competition, and even violence, which are often repressed in order to maintain social norms and avoid conflict. By projecting these qualities onto Trump, Biden may be unconsciously acknowledging and confronting his own shadow, albeit in a distorted and exaggerated manner.

The Process of Individuation

Jung believed that the process of individuation, or becoming a whole and integrated individual, involves acknowledging and integrating the shadow. In this context, Biden’s comment could be seen as a step towards individuation, as he is confronting and acknowledging his own repressed emotions and desires. However, this process is often fraught with difficulties, and the shadow can manifest in various ways, including through projection and aggression.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Carl Jung would likely explain Joe Biden’s comment of putting a bullseye on Donald Trump as an example of projection and the manifestation of the shadow. By attributing his own repressed emotions and desires to Trump, Biden is unconsciously acknowledging and confronting his own shadow, albeit in a distorted and exaggerated manner. This behavior is a part of the process of individuation, where individuals strive to become whole and integrated by acknowledging and integrating their repressed qualities.

Whenever there has been a mass shooting or a school shooting or whatever, the Republicans almost immediately yap about how now is the time to come together and now is not the time to discuss gun control or gun rights and all the Dems want to do is politicize shootings and gun control and that we shouldn't restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens due to the actions of a deranged shooter.

I DARE the GOP, the RNC and the Trump campaign to not politicize this incident to their advantage. I also DARE them to say that we shouldn't have further gun control, even though a former President and current electoral candidate was almost assassinated.

Five shots at a stationary target. Only grazed him, but did unalive an innocent bystander and critically injured 2 others. Lee Harvey Oswald he was not.
