    There was a time when America could reliably produce assassins who could kill both presidential candidates and even sitting presidents. What the he’ll happened? Deindustralization? Too much porn and video games?

      Radicalization of ideologies is my bet. Radicals on both sides scream that the other side is evil which creates something broken in the easily influenced. Hell there’s even some radicals that believe that Trump needed to be killed to stop him. And thanks to this person, Trumps side is only bolstered.

      I’m sure the next thing we will see is finger pointing. However whoever is going to read this and wants to hear some wisdom from a fellow random internet stranger; let this guy stand alone. Do not blame the other side or accuse them of wild theories or accusations. If you do go radical, the situation is only going to get worse

        Wasn’t the failed assassin a registered Republican?

          I think people are placing too much on this. Being registered is just sending a piece of mail with a checkbox checked, I think. You don’t even have to donate or anything. I registered as a Republican to vote in their primaries a long time ago, and I have literally never voted for a Republican candidate for any office.

            Any sane person would think like you, but if the shooter was a registered democrat, you know that the GOP would have used that as well to accuse Biden even more.

          Yeah but he also donated to ActBlue so it sounds like he was a RINO Libtard. Probably a Marco Rubio supporter.

          Your guess is as good as mine. Fear, anger, self-righteousness, ego, self-esteem, etc… I don’t think there is a one good answer to that question

        Inb4 Republican conspiracy that Biden told his secret service to intentionally lapse security in order to assassinate Trump. If you thought Benghazi conspiracies were bad…
