Radicalization of ideologies is my bet. Radicals on both sides scream that the other side is evil which creates something broken in the easily influenced. Hell there's even some radicals that believe that Trump needed to be killed to stop him. And thanks to this person, Trumps side is only bolstered.
I'm sure the next thing we will see is finger pointing. However whoever is going to read this and wants to hear some wisdom from a fellow random internet stranger; let this guy stand alone. Do not blame the other side or accuse them of wild theories or accusations. If you do go radical, the situation is only going to get worse
Why can't we meet in the middle and find a compromise?
Your guess is as good as mine. Fear, anger, self-righteousness, ego, self-esteem, etc... I don't think there is a one good answer to that question
I mean, ye can psycho-analyze the nation for all ye want, but they're merely symptoms of the material conditions and environment the nation has been built in
Idk... for all I know, you don't wanna be in the middle of a gunfight, do ye?
Wasn't the failed assassin a registered Republican?
I think people are placing too much on this. Being registered is just sending a piece of mail with a checkbox checked, I think. You don't even have to donate or anything. I registered as a Republican to vote in their primaries a long time ago, and I have literally never voted for a Republican candidate for any office.
Any sane person would think like you, but if the shooter was a registered democrat, you know that the GOP would have used that as well to accuse Biden even more.
Yeah but he also donated to ActBlue so it sounds like he was a RINO Libtard. Probably a Marco Rubio supporter.
This needs a catchy name, like 'forging the coin'
The people mad at Nazis are really shrill, just like the Nazis. So they must be equally wrong. Right?
And yes we really are dealing with fascists at the moment, please be serious instead of grasping for some 'juuust becaaause' excuse as to why someone would make the comparison. They are comparable. That's why. The Idiot has openly opined about being a dictator (just a little! just the tip!) after instigating a failed coup that saw every elected member of the federal government besides him cowering in a basement because an angry mob stormed the goddamn capitol. That's not counting the other coup d'etat efforts, like extorting allies for foreign interference, secretly calling governors to just make up numbers, or indeed sending fake electors to make up the numbers himself. The GOP's publicly-stated policy goals include criminalizing queer identities, banning birth control, and seeking revenge on anyone who's not personally loyal to dear leader. I don't give a shit if you might think they wouldn't succeed in these efforts. The fact they want that, and are openly talking about trying to do it, is what makes them fascists.
Inb4 Republican conspiracy that Biden told his secret service to intentionally lapse security in order to assassinate Trump. If you thought Benghazi conspiracies were bad…
