It’s not going to matter what the shooter’s politics were. Desperate Never Trumper, deranged libertarian kook, the antifa boogeyman made flesh, he’s the “not us” in the fascist binary that everyone gets lumped into. They will keep insisting it’s the Democrats and liberals who caused it, because those are their catch-all terms for anyone who is not a fascist.
Might even be beneficial. I’m trying to get back into my town before the sun goes down to hang out near our lake for at least an hour to decompress without any screens
I think it applies equally, the fallen victims will be held up and honored no matter what they had done, the shooter will be an evil antifa devil no matter who he was, and Trump will be the barely escaped Messiah no matter if this was a lone wolf attempt or a conspiracy

Reading the post before commenting helps to not make comments like this.
I thought I did read it. Comprehension is another matter. I think I’m on doom scroll autopilot since yesterday. I’m… just really fucking drained tbh
No shame in sitting things out for a bit.

That sounds like a fantastic plan. Enjoy yourself.
Don’t worry about it. This is the internet in an election year, and you’re doing great.
I hear what you’re saying.
Can always count on SatansMaggotyCumFart to be an empathetic, calming presence in the chat
You’re far from the only one. Hang in there.

It seems like you wrote your comment thinking that the post was about the shooter, when it was about the person that got shot.
Yeah, and it seems like most people replying to the post thought the same thing. The reading comprehension of users on Lemmy is worrying, sometimes.
Yeah well, we’re not losing anything of value there either.
This wasnt the shooter. This page is of the bystander who died. He was a fire chief.
This post isn’t about the shooter’s politics. It’s about the bystander that took the bullet intended for Trump.
