      Who knows. Someone that would take it upon themselves to do something like this could have all kinds of flawed thought processes, as well as mental illness.

      I mean, the Republicans have a habit of constantly casting each other out for various forms of apostasy, real or imagined, and declaring the apostate a “RINO”. With the way they talk about non-Republicans, that unperson is then a lower lifeform not worthy of empathy…if that’s the kind of thing that led to this, it wouldn’t be that surprising, I guess. I mean, look at how they view Liz Cheney. Liz. Cheney.

        “The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pa., as the suspected shooter at former president Donald Trump’s rally. The FBI, which called the attack an assassination attempt, said it was trying to determine his motive and asked the public to come forward with anything they know about Crooks. The shooter was killed. Crooks was a registered Republican, according to the state’s voter status records.”
