Since it was a Conservative Republican who shot at him. Would they be retaliating against other republicans?

Or (more likely) would they be like the drunk idiots at the bar who just start swinging at anything that moves in their stupidity and anger?

The latter of course. This is the excuse the ammosexuals needed to Do Bad Things.

It's only fair if Biden gets shot in the ear too - Both Siders

Since a conservative shot Trump, it is our duty as liberals to nick Biden so that it's fair.

Maybe some of the craziest, who believed in the most craziest stuff, and thus will feel the most wrong-doed/betrayed, starts to understand it was just lies?

This entire election has been nothing but drunk idiots swinging at anything that moves

Can we say conclusively the shooter was a conservative Republican? I know they were registered to the party but they also donated to Democratic campaigns. I think ascribing any kind of political affiliation or motivation to him is premature

The donation was from a different person, and his classmates have said he's a conservative, and his parents had Trump signs in their yard

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Do you have a source for the donation? I just read a Forbes article and they’re still reporting he made the donation

[–] Captainvaqina 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

His high school classmates said that he was staunchly conservative.
