It’s just pure evil. You can blame it on politics, rhetoric from both sides, mental illness, etc., but bottom line is that Trump is a threat to some and they will stop at nothing short of murder to stop him. I suspect this will not be the last attempt.
More and more obvious that there are dark forces that do not want Trump to be elected

Same guy? Also had Facebook posts recruiting Afghan soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
According to FEC data, he made more than 20 individual contributions to Democrats during the 2020 election.
May need to consider that some or all of his social media might not be as straight forward as one might assume.

I don’t believe for a second democrats are willfully responsible for this psycho trying to kill the president. Regardless of who the guy voted for don’t care that he turned from trump in 2020.
Bottom line - it is an absolutely legit ask that democrats tone down the “protect democracy” rhetoric. If the guy’s tweet history is legit, that is seemingly his motive here.
Apparently he supported Haley for 2024 and is a big fan of Vivek and Tulsi. Yes, all over the place but does not appear to be a committed leftist.Same guy? Also had Facebook posts recruiting Afghan soldiers to fight in Ukraine.

An odd profile, just like the last shooter.
You response was reasonable, so I’ll endeavor to do the same.
I agree that the current rhetoric is overheated right now. But is it fair to suggest that this is a Dem issue? Just this week, Trump and Vance told lies about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets, which, given how nutty people are about their animals these days (myself included), that’s an accusation that is in tone not that far distant from the blood libel myths used to generate anti-Semitic hatred.
When asked about the death threats, Trump only doubled down, as Vance did multiple times on Face the Nation this morning. Trump even promised that the mass deportations would start in Springfield and he would be sending the Haitians back to Venezuela. That’s just this week.
Trump makes at least as many claims about the destruction of the country if he loses as Dems make about the threat to democracy.
And while I know you disagree, my view and the view of many others is that Trump’s continued lies about election fraud, his praise for the rioters and his absolute insistence that the election was stolen is hard evidence in support of the argument that Trump is a threat to democracy.
Trump and his own rhetoric is what leads to those accusations.
Evidently depends on the source

The swamp at work. They will keep trying until stopped or they are successful!
I don't think you understand the underlying issue. Who gives a shit what this guy votes for or believes in. A former president of the United States was shot at again for the second time in 3 months. That is a disgrace and very scary. If you want to play politics, go ahead. Put any other president's name in this sentence and tell me you'd be acting the same way "Breaking news. President __________ was just shot at 3 months after he was shot in the ear/head. ".
Any other president and you'd be saying exactly what I am saying which is that we need to condemn this violence and call it what it is. An assassination attempt on a former president. If this happened to Kamala, I'd be sick to my stomach that someone tried to kill the current VP of the USA. Political violence has no place in America.
Also to address your animal thing, what's worse? Trump talking about a bunch of videos online showing these weird activities of people ****ing with cats and ducks on public land/ponds in Ohio, or Bush saying Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and then sends troops to kill thousands of lives? I'd assume you believe both things aren't true so just curious what you think is worse? The dems always amplify stuff that holds no value, but it makes sense because you cannot stick to the actual policy, so you have to paint the opponent as a psycho.
Just to clarify, Trump was not shot at. Latest reporting is that the shooter was 400-500 yards away and never fired his gun.
Who is failing to condemn what happened? Here’s what Biden communicated today. What exactly are you looking for?
In the mean time, how many times has Trump cracked jokes about the attack on Paul Pelosi, including recently? Lied about vote fraud? Praised violent felons and promised to pardon them? Lied about black immigrants stealing and eating pets? How many times has he said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”, which is close to a direct quote from Mein Kampf?
Today he posted this.
If you have a problem with the current inflammatory rhetoric, you and I agree on that. If you aren’t willing to strongly condemn what I listed above, which is far from a comprehensive list, then your concern seems disingenuous.

sorry. Not “shot at”. Just a few football fields away attempting to put the former president in your crosshairs. Was trumps tweet about Taylor swift dumb, yes it was. Don’t understand his angle there at all, but that’s not my concern right now as an American citizen
So hateful and inflammatory rhetoric is only concerning to you as an American citizen if it affects Trump? Death threats, bomb scares and white supremicists roaming the streets of Springfield, OH aren’t worthy of condemnation? Who is responsible for that?
Serious question, did you find the jokes about the 80 year old Paul Pelosi, who was nearly killed in his own home by a deranged Trump supporter, funny?

(to be clear, I think the 2A / gun nuts / fetishizers are one of the most malign forces in this country. I am a hunter. I like guns. I do not like 2A absolutism. Further, I think it's frightening that political violence is on the table, but I do feel like Donald Trump has been a) particularly callous w/r/t the school shootings, etc. and b) no one was harmed today, thank God, but Trump has encouraged political violence in word and deed, so he is very much reaping what he has sown. I hope that he loses and badly, but I hope even more that we find a way to end the gun violence in this country.)
Well they said last time they would time down the rhetoric. That lasted 48 hrs and it’s as bad or worse. The Dems hope he’s killed. This smells like a government involved hit. How did he know when and where Teumo would be when no one but his inner circle knew. Not on official calendar.
You must be F ing kidding me! It is your side inciting all the violence. Get your head out of your a$$
So what’s your most egregious example of the left inciting violence? Has Harris joked about these assassination attempts? Is Walz repeating baseless conspiracies about black migrants stealing and eating people’s pets?
It’s clear you hate anyone whose view are left of yours with a burning hot passion, but try and break through the hate and approach objectivity on this issue if you can and you’ll recognize that there is one candidate and his political supporters who are consistently praising violence.
Trump’s 2nd attempted assassin was a former Trump supporter
His 1st attempted assassin was a right-wing extremist
Pelosi’s attempted assassin was a MAGA lunatic
Jan 6 terrorists were all Trump supporters
The madman who attacked the FBI was a Trump supporter
Spot a pattern?

Yeah the Dems never do anything wrong. It’s all the Pubs fault. You people are so hypocritical it’s sickening.
this response is so teenager-y
Who these people "support" isn't the issue. The question is, who is supporting them?

How does a poor construction worker who can’t afford a lawyer make trips to Ukraine and travel all over? Who is his money man?
Always quick to spread a post that’s not verified, then has to come back with some correction..typical DEM..and definitely does not understand the underlying issue.
President Trump is a Hugh threat to Iran, they want him dead. He is also a threat to idiots like Kamala, Democrats, LGBT, Gangs, Woke and so on. Please God keep him safe!
