Reagan Assassination Attempt Flashback and Power Transitions

from Trump Assassination Theories & The Bowels Of Power | The Tim Dillon Show #402 · #402

4 min

Tim draws a historical parallel to Reagan's shooting and George H.W. Bush waiting on a plane to potentially become president, arguing these power transitions and cover-ups aren't new, then returns to Cheatle's blank-faced press briefings.

In this bit8 moments
  • The shooting is dark and troubling enough that people want to move on from it rather than explore deeper implications.
  • Trump handled the convention well by mentioning the incident once but delivering a positive presidential speech instead of dwelling on it.
  • Most people don't engage with questions about Thomas Matthew Crooks' potential government connections because they can't psychologically handle those implications.
  • Biden stepping down and Harris stepping up was a brilliant way to move on from the assassination attempt.
  • The plan was to use Biden as a Weekend at Bernie's puppet for four years, wheeling him in with a teleprompter for speeches.
  • Power factions don't want a president who isn't part of the game; they prefer an actor who lets the corporate oligarchy pillage.
  • Trump didn't really stop the system in his first term, and many of his friends are billionaires and industrialists.
  • Every president faces the system when they get in; their success depends on willingness and ability to fight it, and how controlled they are.
