I doubt the kid would have done this without the fear mongering over Trump.
So trump spews endless incendiary rhetoric, some of which literally incites an insurrection attempt, but the media is to blame by reporting all of the stupid sh&t he says and does? LOL, Ok. The guy who has promised vengeance and retribution and military tribunals against his political opponents if he's re-elected? You mean that guy? If anything, trumps antics are under-reported because we've almost become numbed by the sheer volume of it. Nice try, gaslighter.
You do realize you are describing the Biden admin and the MSM? What they have actually done, not alleged to have said. You do know it was Trump who was shot?
a bullied 20 year old man failing to launch and feeling powerless is the kind of person who lashes out to get revenge against a cruel world.
in a sane country he lashes out without a powerful firearm. Maybe gets in fistfights. In this country well he gets a powerful firearm and shoots people in an effort to prove he's a somebody and has some power and agency over his life. 'I'll show those ashholes in PE class who bullied me!'
a very American story.
Yes indeed. America. The only country to have exclusively assassinations of political figures
Definitely thought he was creating a messiah. Probably thought Trump would rise from the dead after 3 days. Possibly also worried that Trump might reinstate the Trump Covid lockdowns again.

my point is that this guy fits the mold of school shooters, not political assassins. And we have far, far, far more school shooter types who actually do the shootings than any other nation on earth. Because of the guns. Because of the guns.
And we have come to understand the motives and psychological problems of school shooters. It's bullying, loneliness, powerlessness and difficulty attracting women. Mixed with the easy availability of firearms.
Sounds to me that this explains the trump shooter.

Nobody knows why the kid shot Trump. The kid is dead. You attempting to blame the left is ridiculous. He was a Republican raised by Republicans. Maybe it was his home life. Quit trying to twist it into something it isn’t.
Do you have a link to where his parents are Republicans? Legitimately asking. I thought his dad was a psychologist and mother a social worker or something similar.
Anyway, I've posted this elsewhere, but I doubt his motivations are going to make sense to anyone. Everyone is trying to interpret it through a political lens, but these crazed shooter types just get it in their head to kill someone and they just go ahead and do it. The "reasoning" behind it is probably beyond his own understanding if he were alive.

I wonder if the Trump supporter that was shot dead and the two in the hospital fighting for their lives affected Trump's mental game on his golf round the next day...

Nah. We know. This was a very troubled, bullied kid who was fed 24/7 fear mongering over Trump
You’re on of the azzholes that constantly demeans democrats and inner city life.
Why didn’t his conservative upbringing help him? Why did his conservative upbringing produce a killer.
You’re one of the most prolific sh!t posters here. You constantly stir the pot. You are a very significant contributor to the type of discourse that you now want to blame.

What are you even talking about?
Don't go there. It is a rabbit hole of stupidity that you will regret venturing down.
I love how conservatives blame media "fear mongering" when their media outlets of choice (and they themselves) spend all day telling people to arm themselves to the teeth against the woke mob of God hating baby killers and calling for civil war against "tyrants" like old man Biden. Just shut the f up, hypocrites.

amusing also seeing Rs go on TV to say the country needs to tone down the rhetoric...then when asked if they mean Trump should also tone down the rhetoric 'they back off and say No not the King of course! I'm not criticizing Trump in any way! '

You need to ask?
"...spews endless incendiary rhetoric, some of which literally incites.." an assassination attempt
"..vengeance and retribution and military tribunals against his political opponents"
I mean, gee, how could this happen? So shocking. Not
Yet the Lt. Governor of NC says naysayers of Trump ideals are evil, and should be dealt with by the guys in blue or green. Trump has been out there talking about bringing the smoke for years, and he got it. And now we'll have to hear about his martyrdom, which is another deflection from the fact he has no real plan for anything productive.

I remember loud "Hang Mike Pence" chants ! Didn't come from Biden voters !!!
a MA'GA caravan tried running a Biden campaign bus off the road in Texas and the former president retweeted the video of it replete with a soundtrack of 'Red Kingdom' by, Tech N9ine, called them patriots and said he loves Texas Republicans have Mark Robinson scheduled to speak at the RNC this week. Robinson is the GOP nominee for Governor of North Carolina. Just days ago Robinson went viral for saying, “Some folks need killing! It’s time for somebody to say it.” “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.” 5 months ago, Alex Jones and InfoWars guest Ivan Raiklin discussed how assassinating Trump would be beneficial, according to them, because it would lead to retaliatory “in kind” assassinations of a “deep state” list which includes President Joe Biden. Guests at CPAC were invited to kick and punch a boxing torso with Joe Biden’s face on it Trump posts pictures depicting Biden hog tied up in the back of a pick up. Trump on school shootings: "It's horrible but we have to get over it." Trump mocked the assassination attempt on Paul and Nancy Pelosi
He was 20 years old, living with his mom and dad, helping nursing home residents of his community try and figure out an easier way to open up their salad dressing packets.
He was too dumb, young and inexperienced to be outraged by anything.
Like Oswald, he just wanted instant stardom. Attention.
