Look at the riots the far-left organised when police officers killed
a black person because of excessive force.

Now imagine that reaction from the other side of the political spectrum
if Mr Trump had been killed.

Based on history then no immediate disaster.

Recent history says otherwise.

You have the US mainstream media not informing the population about
Mr Biden's decline and acting more like the political wing of the
Democratic party.
 
You have the media saying the shooter was registered as Republican (which
I understand doesn't really mean much when tactical voting is involved)
while not mentioning that he apparently contributed to far-left causes,
so it is _very_ unclear what his politics really are.

No.

All media both right leaning and left leaning has focused a lot
on Biden's poor performance in the debate.

That is only because Mr Biden had such a high-profile meltdown they
could no longer cover for him.

What about the 4 years of covering for him prior to that meltdown ?

Mind you, you now have a Secret Service which appears to have gone from
being highly disciplined and effective to being absolutely bloody useless.
 
What on earth is happening to the US ?

The report (or at least the bits we are allowed to see) will no doubt
make for very interesting reading.
