No mixed feelings at all. I am unequivocally sad that we lost Richard Simmons today 😢😢😢
Damn this is how I found out. Extra sad now, thanks.
And Dr. Ruth! 😪
And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.
it sounds like he was in a dark place for the last decade or so; if that’s true, at least now he’s no longer suffering.
Nothing mixed. Fully sad he didn’t die and this will cement his win in the coming months. We’re fucked.
There’s still time for the DNC to swap Biden out for a more electable candidate and energize their own base again, for what it’s worth, though at this point I think the DNC wants to lose so they can secure more funding.
Melania was disappointed by 2 inches once again.
Woohoohoohoohoohoo.
I rather it never happened. But him surviving is the worst outcome.

Without Trump, who do the republicans have? De Santis? Nah. Martyr means nothing if there’s no realistic second choice.
(Otherwise, the CIA wouldn’t have bothered assassinating political candidates in south America)
They are treating him like a martyr right now.
Absolutely not. My feeling of disappointment was completely unequivocal.
I have thoughts and prayers for the bullet that couldn’t do it’s job
No mixed feelings, I’m absolutely devastated about how much harder saving the USA will be from today.
No mixed feelings here, just heaps of disappointment.
My feelings weren’t mixed on Trump. I hope the next person has better aim.
I was just plain old sad about Richard Simmons, Dr Ruth, and Shannen Doherty. They all deserve better.
Pessimistically, I don’t see how the system gets better without full collapse.
But wow imagine a few normal candidates running again. Imagine getting to vote for politics and not in a rule-breaking popularity contest.
That’s a bit drama-queenish.
We had a good thing before Trump ran for president and won.
Once he’s gone things will go back to normal over time.
Trump is just the logical conclusion of the christo fascist takeover of the Republicans. It will be there when he’s gone
I understand your position but I think you’re wrong. Fascists always, without exception, need a “charismatic” leader like the Nazis with Hitler or the Russians with Putin. There’s currently only Trump who can fill that role. It’s of course possible that another such person appears out of nowhere, but I don’t see anyone on their side. Trump was a TV star and tacky racist celeb (birthed) since the 80s. His brand isn’t new, he build it over a long time. Who do you think would fill his shoes if yesterday’s attempt had succeeded? There’s no one.
Raegan was a similar character previously. I don’t doubt they will arise again. Certainly, there are many Republicans with the same reactionary politics.
This is Great Man Theory. Trump would not be popular if his policies and stances weren’t popular, and there are plenty of replacements.
Yet who is a better fit for that theory than Trump, from the perspective of his fans, at least?
That’s not what Great Man Theory is. Trump is an excellent example of why Great Man Theory is wrong. Great Man Theory just states that history is guided by influential figures, which is wrong. The Material Conditions of society determine what ideas dominate, and thus people appearing to be influential become popular.
Oh someone took a semester of social sciences! Way to go, son!
I’ve not looked at the news yet, Lemmy was my first stop. I’m thinking… earthquake in the Kremlin?
There’s a lot of really nice architecture there, it’d be a shame for it to be lost in rubble.
That, or we got disqualified from the Euros final xD

Pretty regular stuff if you ask me
I’ll say it out loud: On the one hand, dying of cancer sucks. On the other, Shannon Doherty was really mean to her coworkers.
Just realized she passed away yesterday, I only heard about Gene Simmons.
Edit: RICHARD Simmons. Gene is the guy from KISS.
That was a wild fitness class…
This Rhino must be talking to liberals.
Yes, and the Republicans who miss when their party wasn’t loony tunes.
Bah. They’re Republicans in name only.
