He was a registered Republican that had made one singular donation to ActBlue Biden Campaign lol
Hard to tell if he was a Rep or a Dem, but he’s a confirmed mentally disturbed person to do what he did
It's also possible that the shooter was a mentally unstable young person with wildly oscillating political beliefs. Persons at that age often times don't have a settled worldview yet and are very susceptible to indoctrination and radicalization from whomever gets a hand on them.

It was probably one of those “Lincoln Project” so called ‘republicans’
Are there any NeverTrump or Lincoln Project type Republicans below the age of 40, though?

Something seems a bit fishy about this whole thing. I feel like we're all watching a staged reality TV show.
Not plausible. This shooter came within the margin of error (wind conditions, random head movement by Trump) of "succeeding". So it can't be staged by the Trump camp, and Democratic strategists and donors obviously have no interest in a staged attack on Trump's life, which will only help him politically.

Would be weird considering the donation was made when he was 17, he did this shooting at 20 and is a known groyper by the chans.
I need to see more tangible evidence before accepting him as a proven groyper. This seems like your confirmation bias speaking rn.

Is this not less about political persuasion and more about mentally ill people having access to firearms?
Do you seriously think stricter gun laws would have stopped a guy who is intent on killing a former and future president?
