• We’ll see as the investigation progresses, but I suspect it’s unfortunately far more likely to be the more common reason for political assassinations in the US, which is to say that it’s far easier for most people to access guns than afford mental health services and medications, than any actually coherent understanding of what Trump is.

      Outside of Lincoln, to my knowledge nearly all presidential and presidential candidate assassinations or near assassinations have been motivated more by deep seated mental health issues than the target’s actual politics. It’s possible this was an exception, but i’m not holding my breath.
