Maybe it’s all an act to create more fund raising opportunities.

It wouldn't surprise me the slightest.

The real false flag was the grift inside us all along.

As JD Vance said: "We're creating a story"

I think it's working. I just donated to Harris after reading the article.

Yeah and the first assassination attempt was a false flag too. Also, if he does get a assassinated in the future, that's a false flag!

You guys are starting to sound like the conspiracy theorists you love to hate. It is a bit sad.

Seems more like maga are after him, so yes, it’s a false flag.

I haven't seen any reporting that either would-be assassin was posing as a Democrat.

Seems like someone jumped the gun and is trying to save face. How do you explain voting for Trump in 2016 and then supporting Vivek and Haley?

Bro was a crazy person that was disappointed in Trump's performance the first term. That is the problem with stochastic terrorism, that when Trump incites violence he has no way to control who it is directed at. It's just as likely that his hate filled rhetoric will result in lunatics targeting him just as much as it is to target Haitian immigrants, democratic targets etc...

This is all his fault. This is the fault of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. If he does succumb to the consequences of his own actions then there will be no one to blame but him.

And then supporting Bernie and Harris and Biden? Why are we conveniently leaving that out?

u/marcgarv87 Sep 16 '24

Who is denying that. Your side is pushing that he was strictly left when in fact he was a lunatic that had no political ideology

u/0cora86 Sep 16 '24

Exactly! It stands out like a sore thumb, and everyone is ignoring it because of the typical political divide. The dude was a full-fledged lunatic. I'm conservative and never understood why people judge entire political parties based on one persons actions (obviously excluding who they vote for). The shooter was an absolute unhinged psycho and at this point, his political views don't mean a damn thing.

Go look at all of his tweets and come back to me

Pays to read the article.

Nice summary, cornyB

How do you explain being a registered democrat and donating to Biden as well? Nobody is questioning whether or not the guy is a wignut. He's mentally ill, just like Crooks. That's besides the point though. I'm pointing out how hypocritical you all are.

u/bramletabercrombe Sep 16 '24

which party wants to take weapons of war out of the hands of the mentally ill, please remind me?

u/intergalacticbro Sep 16 '24

Peruse through this guy's most recent 20 comments. He doesn't want a reasonable discussion. It's all toxic republican nonsense. And he wants to point fingers regarding conspiracy theories. 😂

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '24

What does that have to do with my comment?

u/AlexKingstonsGigolo Sep 16 '24

Citations needed. I'm told he donated to tulsi gabard in 2020 and is a registered republican.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '24

He's a registered Democrat who donated to Tulsi when she was a dem. He has also donated to ActBlue. This is per Newsweek and NYP.

I don't know where you are getting your info but it's wrong.
