Paraphrasing his psychotic post that they are discussing in this article: ā€œBullets are flying, the war has begun, the Immigrant Problem must be brought to a final solution!ā€

    So theyā€™ve had two Republican voters try and assassinate the Republican nominee for president while theyā€™ve be spouting of about political violence as the answer but yeah, itā€™s the Democrats fault.

      Iā€™m not a fan of this point of view because I donā€™t think we fully understand the motives of either shooter. The firstā€™s motive seems ambiguous, at best. Itā€™s too soon to know for the second. You could technically call them Republican voters based on social media history, but I heard the second shooter became disillusioned with Trump sometime after 2016, which is why I feel like comments like this are leading us into a direction we arenā€™t yet ready to go. Either way, people want to pin these events on a political motive and in the end they may be no more politically motivated than some of the clearly apolitical school shootings.

      I blame Trump for his own outcome though. To shit on victims of gun crime and to shit on everybody in general in such a public space, for the President of the United States of all things, is not going to end well for anybody.

        Whatever they were, they werenā€™t leftist radicals or even Democratic superfans taking political inspiration from establishment candidates like Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. Thatā€™s the important part. We donā€™t know what their actual motive was, but thereā€™s no indication Democrats using disapproving language had any realistic impact.

        We can keep an open mind without accepting their implausible narrative.
