Was waiting on this, someone from the right who realized what the rest of the world knew already. That letting a self declared ‘day one dictator’ back at the reigns is bad for everyone.
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.
Maybe so maybe not, but you can bet that where they a registered D it would be shouted at the top of the hour from every conservative news outlet to feed the persecution complex. Case as it is though I would expect a lot of ‘not a real Republican’ spin on it.
2FA in action
Trying to figure out whether he was genuinely Republican, using some kind of logic.
It seems fairly certain basing on this photo that he did not use an optical sight, at least not anything sizable. Attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate under Secret Service protection with iron sights on your gun…
…no, this guy wasn’t a planner. So his registration as a Republican likely wasn’t an elaborate plan either.
Famously Simo Häyhä, one of the most successful snipers in history, used only an iron sight. This was an intentional choice along with other clever innovations like putting snow in his mouth to mask his breath and reduce his visibility to counter-snipers. An optical sight increases your profile and the glass will glint in the sun. I don’t know if it was intentional, but when hunting a target in an area with heavy counter-sniper presence, using an iron sight is not a poorly-planned choice.
Given his voter registration, his membership in the Demolitia, his rural Pennsylvanian political meleiu, and his bullied incel backstory [YT], signs point to him being a genuine republican. The Republican voter records have not only his name but address, while the reported small Democrat political donation
only seems to have his namehas his name and address, but not any other secondary confirmation like a credit card that coincides with the deceased’s social security.
Ironically while Crooks was taking aim, Demolition Tactical was bragging about how their followers were respectable, unlike a specific youtube influencer’s who just happens to be black:
One flattering narrative is that he felt betrayed by the revelations about Project 2025, or confirmation of Katie Johnson’s [YT] testimony about Trump’s pedophilia in the recently released Epstein logs, or was just part of one of the many blue-collar conservative working families that Trump’s organization has swindled out of their labor.
Alternatively, a week before the assassination, Nick Fuentes was on stream putting Trump on blast for backing away from Project 2025, along with Alex Jones. The simplest explanation is this is another case of stochastic terrorism from the alt-right.
EDIT: ActBlue also has his home address in the $15 donation tax filing.
Which is PROOF he was a Democrat!
