Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

My prediction is this was some sort of deranged liberal who thought they were really saving democracy
Finally one of them put their money where their mouth was.
yeah, its surprising how many would rather just shoot up a school or a walmart instead... boggles the mind
Least deranged liberal. If they think Trump is as big of a threat as they say, they should applaud the guy and emulate him.
same
I really don't think so. Liberal Democrats hate guns. And I don't think it's any kind of communist/anarchist/lefty/etc either because I think someone who's serious enough to want to kill Trump would also be serious enough to have more important organising to do than a suicide mission trying to shoot trump at a trump rally. I think more likely it's someone who doesn't have particularly conventional/left-wing political motivations. Maybe someone who's quite mentally ill or otherwise someone with quite out-there views.
That sounds about right honestly. Saw someone say it'd be a groyper who's mad he supports Israel or some shit, and that scans with me.
That would be insane but also definitely the best case scenario for us. If that's the case that news had better break out quick before this is used to justify further repression of the left.
The overton window is already so narrow...
There's an entire pretty active subreddit for liberal gun owners. Plenty of Americans have incoherent politics and access to firearms.
My bet is a liberal who was starting to reject the appeasement of the Democrats.
Any leftist is going to know enough history/politics that doing this alone will not succeed.
Being a liberal gun owner (and in any case a lot of the people on that subreddit didn't seem like regular establishment dems to me but I've not gone on reddit for years) isn't the same thing as going ahead with shooting trump though.
That was what I was saying, it's probably someone with unconventional politics or someone motivated by something other than just political views, like someone with a serious mental illness.
